Wired: PCs Are Incorrect on TV
An interesting theory that exposes PC users as the villains in tv shows, as the good guys always use Macs! I have noticed before that they mostly use Macs in movies and on tv, but never really noticed the bad guys using Windows. Interesting... [via Radio Bump]

You're soaking in it!
This in my new design for this site, coded in XHTML, and the layout completely in CSS. Both the XHTML and the CSS validate as good code! (note: some of the archived pages may not validate.)

Still powered by Blogger though, as my host is missing one of the core Perl files needed to run Moveable Type. Bummer eh...

Also, included as part of the CSS design is some alternate style sheets, so you can choose your favorite design from the 'Site Theme' box on the left, and your browser will use that design next time you visit (in most good browsers anyway)...

Righto, this weblog may be going down soon for a new design, which will be fully XHTML and CSS compliant. I may also change from Blogger to the Movable Type Personal Publishing System, if I can get it to work, and if I like it. Back soon...

Tonight I went and saw the new Pixar film, Monsters, Inc. Personally, I think it a much better movie than Shrek, in both the CG and the story/humor. The Pixar films just keep getting better!

I am still stunned by the World Trade Center / Pentagon attacks over in the US, and I have been following it closely on the web and tv. One of the things I find myself thinking is how is it going to affect us in Australia? While we seem a little detached from it over here, we could well be dragged into it all if war does break out. I for one hope that no racism, against anyone of any race or religious belief, turns violent in this city, or anywhere else for that matter. I feel for anyone that has lost loved ones in the great tradgedy.

Bored? Go and have a game or two of mini-golf. Or maybe some air-hockey instead? I'm sure you will enjoy it.

One good thing about being on a Mac is the fact that most viruses don't affect me. I have received more than 30 Sircam-infected emails in each of my 3 email accounts, just from the one person!
