For a good time, search for “Jeremy Bentham” online and find out what happened to his body after he died.

why do psycho wingnut protesters attack the very existence of queer Americans, ostensibly based on the biblical doctrine, and then still eat shellfish? See you in hell hypocrites!

Random San Rafael amateur production company- starting in February, they aim to have a completed feature by May 1st. Ambitious isn’t it?

Their title: Sixteen Pound Sledge vs The Vegas Vampire.

I think it’s a just-for-fun thing- they didn’t even have a script in February. I personally can’t see putting so much effort into a random design-by-comittee venture, but that’s just my personal preference. Good luck guys!

CUBIS, like wigu, is a sort of surreal story web comic that has a name derived from an acronym.

Actually that’s about the only thing they have in common.

Anyway, Can U Believe I’m Single? is not really as common or succinct a phrase as When I Grow Up (the name of wigu‘s predecessor).

Looking for eCommerce solutions on PHP backed by MySQL and Apache. Turns out there are a lot of them!

• phPay, written by Germans with Apache and MySQL. Looks pretty good… it tracks sessions…
  • features
  • Demo Site
  • admin demo site. It claims to have stock-tracking (inventory), which is essential, but I don’t see it!

• ZenCart is a very large system… It looks a little busy and I’m not sure how much I’d have to strip it down. It doesn’t look like there is any inventory admin screens either.
  • showcase of live sites
  • sourceforge page

• osCommerce is also very large…
  They claim to have “product statistics” (which may be inventory) but the admin demo is not online.
  • SourceForge page
  • feature list
  • live stores using osCommerce

• phpShop is a little more spartan- here is their SourceForge page. They have themes and “addons” but I can’t seem to find an online demo.

I just saw Debbie Harry on “I Love the 70’s” on VH1… She looks good, but not when you compare to her pictures in her prime (1979).

I mean obviously… she was super hot. You know what would be a cool look for her? Sort of a scary goth supervillain thing, like Angelica Huston’s “evil queen” character in Captiain EO. Yeah ok, maybe I’m on crack, but it would still be cool. Fading celebrities make great zany supervillains. Like the Liptons Tea commercial where Bruce Willis is an action hero fighting… The Jeffersons! Awesome.

Made into a movie in the 1960s, it’s a apocalyptic science fiction story about carnivorous plants grown as a crop, and wiping out humanity after a freak accident which leaves 99% of the world’s population blind.

little tidbits on making your table borders have that one-pixel pinstripe on EVERY browser. Cross-browser pinstripes. Or something.

Cigarro is a cranky chain-smoking girl rabbit who looks like a guy. Cerveja is her quirky nice-guy goose friend. Together they form a comic duo that could almost be representative of duelling philosophies, or even the unconscious mind.

Actually, skip all that; it’s a funny comic.

I bought the first collection at APE.
