It was a hear of physical upheaval. It was a year of motorcycles. A random, incomplete review with random, incomplete anecdotal details which in no way indicate the primary experience of the event, rather just my non-linear cottage cheese brain. http://www.hulver.com/scoop/story/2007/11/19/21515/294 (heh... that gag would be getting old if it weren't so damned appropriate this time...) Does everybody know this already about Facebook? If not, please check it out. Especially if you're a FB user, and super double-dog especially if you've given them any correct personal information. I would highly recommend this Brainsturbator article on the topic. For that matter, I would highly recommend any Brainsturbator article. If you feel like deep-digging on the subject, start by Googling facebook cia, where you'll find articles at such reputable establishments as Wired, ArsTechnica and the NZ Herlad. And if that doesn't work up a nice paranoid lather, then you better read what New Scientist figured out about what the NSA is doing with MySpace. Just don't talk about it to your friends as long as the battery is still in your mobile phone. I've already said too much... http://www.hulver.com/scoop/story/2007/11/3/174340/635 First of all, why the hell do you live out in that dogforsaken cactus jungle? Are breathtaking landscapes and sunsets really worth the complete absence of green things, cultural diversity, and naturally-running potable water? Are you insane? Second, I've decided to spend four precious days of my life over an even more precious and rare thing called a weekend in Oppenheimer's own backyard, Las Cruces, Nuevo Mexico between the 9th and 12th of this month, so I can cavort amongst the chili roasteries, chain restaurants and big-box retailers with darling Lady Jane between her two consecutive work weeks there. Since LJ gets a rental car from work for the weekend, and there doesn't appear to be much to do in Las Cruces, we thought it might be cool to have a HuSi meetup somewhere within driving range. Austin is about an 8-hour drive across the Great Nation of Texas, which is kinda long, but I don't see a lot of cool places to meet in between. Any thoughts? http://www.hulver.com/scoop/story/2007/10/13/231018/96 Lady Jane and I tried to high-five each other on the couch due to an unnamed web-related mutual accomplishment, and failed 2-out-of-3 times in making a successful palm-slap. She said it's all me.  Like a fart in an elevator, she just knows. http://www.hulver.com/scoop/story/2007/10/5/17944/6391 A story over six months in the making. Sometimes I can hardly believe I ride a motorcycle! http://www.hulver.com/scoop/story/2007/10/2/191046/406 Since Sunday March 13, 2005, I have undergone intense change. Personal growth is a continuous, lifelong journey (at least I suspect it should be if you're doing it right), and I have covered a great many miles of that blessed sojourn in the two-odd years since I used to write here regularly. I have been strongly encouraged to write here again, and I think it's a great idea. Read on to learn the true power of intention, and why you should be careful about exactly what you wish for. http://www.hulver.com/scoop/story/2007/9/10/184924/905 Wherein all the worst meanings of the word are exemplified by my day, including the most tasteless, tactless one which spawned the whole idea for the title. Sadly, none of it has to do with the interactions of humans' compatible body parts. Read on to find out what the hell I'm talking about, because I'm sure not going to get into it in the teaser... http://www.hulver.com/scoop/story/2007/7/20/02147/8151 How do I say goodbye to what we had? The good times that made us laugh Outweigh the bad. And I'll take with me the memories To be my sunshine after the rain It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday. Boyz II Men, "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye to Yesterday" http://www.hulver.com/scoop/story/2007/3/6/191552/1895 Here's the new ko4ting URL: ko4ting.magicwebworks.com. I will leave this up indefinitely, as my bandwidth isn't metered and the site has a small footprint. Let me know if anything looks busted and I'll do my best to fix it. I've never used this wiki platform before, so don't expet I know what I'm doing! Enjoy! http://www.hulver.com/scoop/story/2005/3/13/235453/933 Almost forgot there for a while. Read on for a brief overview of whatever I want to tell you about the last six months or so. It pretty much covers it.
