It started in 1993, just a domain name (STARDOT2-DOM, stardot.net) registered by Hui-Hui; in 1995 Captain Jim moved there, where it would remain for six years. I’ve mentioned it here before, and tonight is my very last broadcast from Stardot Networks. My account there will disappear tomorrow morning.
To commemorate, enjoy “Last Broadcast” by the Doves, for a limited time.
Good night, stardot!
Salam Pax (1, 2) has been found. A fascinating story from the Guardian. (Oh, yeah, and he’s been sort of syndicated by the Guardian; he’s now writing a column for them every two weeks.)
Erin’s take on the AOL/MSFT settlement is this:
<ex-wife> One of your demands during this divorce proceeding was to get custody of our dog. Well, the deal is, you don’t get our dog. But I have a new dog now; you can play with it sometime.
<ex-husband> Gosh, that’s great!
<old dog> Hellloooooo….?
[16:24] <pixelknave> Wonder if BEOS is next: http://money.cnn.com/2003/05/29/technology/microsoft/index.htm
[16:28] <dsandler> What a miserable end result, however.
[16:28] <dsandler> In the sense that AOL “wins” the ability to distribute IE with AOL without paying royalties.
[16:28] <dsandler> <netscape> I’m riiiight heeeeere, guys!
[16:29] <dsandler> Microsoft to pay AOL $750 million; also, to let AOL suckle at its teat
Buffy actually says — wait for it — “It’s different. He has a soul now.” KHAN! But you know, I’m just stumped for an appropriate quip here. Last episode ever, Buffy utters the one line we’ve come to hate and mock the most and — I’ve got nothing. I’m sorry; I’m hanging my head in shame for failing you guys. And smiling a little, because hearing that line uttered YET AGAIN really takes the sting out of losing this show.
TWOP weighs in with its last Buffy synopsis ever.

The last entry in your blog is completely wrong! There is no iTunes for OS 9, there is however iTunes for MacOS 9. You should know better! :)
I can’t think of a more humiliating thing to do to a cat than make it wear one of
these ‘transformation sets’. But, I mean, as long as “you will say then,
without forgetting the language of gratitude to a cat,” I suppose it’s OK.
(But then again, there’s something about the Anne of Green Gables outfit
(pictured left) that seems really weirdly appropriate for Armand.)
I’ve always, always liked Canadian signage. [another lovely bb find]
Senator Byrd seems to crop up here with some frequency. Here he is again, in a speech he made yesterday:
Regarding the situation in Iraq, it appears to this Senator that the American people may have been lured into accepting the unprovoked invasion of a sovereign nation, in violation of long-standing International law, under false premises. There is ample evidence that the horrific events of September 11 have been carefully manipulated to switch public focus from Osama Bin Laden and Al Queda who masterminded the September 11th attacks, to Saddam Hussein who did not.
[…]
[T]he Bush team’s extensive hype of WMD in Iraq as justification for a preemptive invasion has become more than embarrassing. It has raised serious questions about prevarication and the reckless use of power. Were our troops needlessly put at risk? Were countless Iraqi civilians killed and maimed when war was not really necessary? Was the American public deliberately misled? Was the world?
