The redesign is underway! Actually, it’s been underway for a week now, but JSKOnline is getting a major overhaul and the final product may include the merging of that site and J’s Notes. That “may include” is leaning more towards “will include” at the moment, but we’ll see, nothing set in stone yet. The redesign is practically finished, just need to do a couple more things and work on stuff behind the scenes. I’ll keep you all posted.

Oh, and by the way, if you haven’t seen it yet, don’t bother hunting down and watching “Spawn”. I saw it for the first time last night and was not impressed. If you want to see a great movie, go get “Zoolander”. It’s hilarious.

COMICS! I met this guy at Baltimore Con last year, Todd Webb. He does some nice comics and his journal reminds me of Jim’s Journal (which RULES, you have to read it). Check out the sites and have a look for yourself.

Great Makings of a ‘Dirty Bomb’ Radioactive Devices Left by Soviets Could Attract Terrorists This is good. Seems the Russians have left these stand alone nuclear generators unsupervised. The government visits them maybe once a year. The security and safety on these things is so good that a couple of hunters found a rod of the strontium core lying around in the woods a three months ago and used it to keep warm, eventually getting radiation burns. Two of them are still in the hospital. All this, AND that they can’t account for at least two of these generators in Georgia (the republic, not the state) alone allows the mind to create such wonderful, heartwarming thoughts that you’d think you were watching an “It’s a Wonderful Life” marathon. Sigh.

Clash of the Free E-Mail Titans When it comes to the sending end of the business, it comes down to a war between two giants: Microsoft’s Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail

Yahoo builds more fees into GeoCities Yahoo is slowly weeding the freeloaders from its home page community, GeoCities.

Last week, the Web portal quietly introduced a paid option for home-page builders, another attempt to convert free subscribers by limiting some features and promoting others. At the same time, the company told its free customers that by early April they would no longer be able to use “remote loading” or file transfer protocol (FTP), the oldest and most prevalent way to deliver content onto a Web page.

If customers want those options, however, they can become paid subscribers.

What Kinda Shit Are You?

It’s my nephew’s birthday today. The little guy turns a whole one year old, it’s great. Gonna go party harty with him later today. Yea!

Here’s a place to visit this weekend while I’m not updating: Globe of Blogs

GASP! I forgot the Friday Five!

1. What’s your favorite animal? Um… people. They can be so darn cute and friendly sometimes.

2. What pets have you had in your lifetime? Had a dog for a little while which was more of a loaner from my grandmother. We gave her to my uncle after she dug under our house and into the heating vent to stay warm during the winter. Then there was a cat named Frickles who ran away after my bro Shaun closed him in the trunk of the car with garbage and we didn’t find him until we got to the dump. There he proceeded to claw the hell outta Shaun and run away. We found him a few years later with our nextdoor neighbors in a cage. They put him in there after he beat the crap outta one of their dogs. Now I have Pantera, a white long haired princess cat who just showed up on my girlfriend’s doorstep August of 2000. She rules, very much like a dog.

3. Is there any specific pet that you’ve wanted but never had? Why? A hamster or a rodent of some kind would rule. Not sure why, just always wanted one.

4. Are you allergic to any animals? Nope.

5. Do you have any ‘pet’ pet peeves (your pets or others’)? When they shit all over the place. That sucks. Jenn’s cat Christopher had explosive poop a year ago and had to be kept in a cage so he didn’t crap all over everything. It was very sad.

Wow, it’s beautiful outside right now. Low 70s and sunny. Ahhhh…

America as Nuclear Rogue If another country were planning to develop a new nuclear weapon and contemplating pre-emptive strikes against a list of non-nuclear powers, Washington would rightly label that nation a dangerous rogue state. Yet such is the course recommended to President Bush by a new Pentagon planning paper that became public last weekend.

So you all know what I’m thinking I’m contemplating combining J’s Notes with JSKOnline once I have the redesign done, just make it all one or the other (probably JSKOnline). All the same content, just a new look, name and addy. I’m still thinking it over, but I’ll let you all know. Or, rather, how about you all let me know, what do you think of combining the two? Hit the message board, contact J~ link or the comments thing below and let me know.

Do we really need an economic stimilus package? I mean, really, let’s think about it. All of the leading indicators are saying the recession’s over, the economy’s bouncing back, and it’s doing this all on it’s own, without Congress passing anything. And you can’t really say it’s happening on the promise of Congressional action because whatever passes (or did pass) could be anything, from helping the unemployed to giving tax breaks to the businesses. Sure, they all have the same goal, but they’re all different means and the economy wouldn’t just go “hey, they’ll do something eventually, so let’s bounce back in the hope of that happening! Yippie!”

So, with the economy getting itself back up, does Congress really need to do anything? Why bother?

Unless you have elections this year and need something to take credit for.

Oh, wait, is it an election year?

The Tipping Blog How Weblogs Can Turn an Idea into an Epidemic

Google hit by link bombers Popular search site Google is being exploited by some net users to mount protests and play jokes on their friends.

Tonya Harding “It’s an image that the media has given me as a bad girl, and the only reason they gave me that image is just because of the few things that have gone wrong in my life, and also because I grew up living in a trailer. I moved around 13 different times before I was in fifth grade, not having money, not having a lot of friends. My biological mother made my clothes or bought my clothes from Salvation Army or Goodwill. And so, you know, that’s where the bad girl image came from.”

Whoopdy doo, right? Right.

JSKOnline is undergoing a MAJOR redesign. Many factors led to this decision, the largest of which was the ungodly load time the current page has as well as it looking all crappy under Netscape and others. Yeah, yeah, yeah, NS should conform to standard, but I’m in a designin’ mood and since I’m changing the look for the sake of loading time I might as well make it compatable as well. I’ll keep all two of you who care posted.
