We have a winner 

Mike Kowalchick guesses the revealing picture is the ingredients for a bloody mary. Here is the full frame.

Followup on advice for Rocketboom 

Yesterday I went off on one of my Gracie-Slick-in-strident-mode posts with some unsolicited advice for Rocketboom. I suggested that if there's any desire to shed the babalicious aspect, old sitcom actors might be fun, and appealing to both older and younger digerati. Apparently Cliff (John Ratzenberger) and Norm from Cheers have dibs on their characters and have played them in six different shows. I could see Cliff doing the know-it-all bit as RB host -- or as occasional studio feature contributor, an Andy Rooney-type role.

I checked out the status of some 60s sitcommers like Bill Daily and Dick York. That generation is getting too old. Daily's moved to Arizona. York has been dead for 15 years.

Headbutting 

Is that what you do in France if somebody trashtalks you? I think I'll try it at work tomorrow.

Maybe soccer players are so used to not using their hands, they don't do anything with them, like fight. Suppose they eat out of troughs? Blog with their toes? Turn doorknobs with their teeth? Bathe by pouring soapy water on the carpet and squirming around on it?

Teleporting ghosts 

The content of my iframes is still jumping all around the page. Reminds me of portraiture subjects in Hogwarts bouncing around among the paintings. Mike from Grazr said he'd try to help diagnose, see if Grazr has anything to do with it. Nice of him.

Speculation on the picture so far

S3 thing sounds cool 

Dave's been programming. I think I can see how it's going to help with OPML blog file storage. That sounds good to me. I don't like the idea of going to more traditional FTP solutions as a primary way to route around the community server problems. (No offense, Tom, but you know how I feel.) I think upstreaming is a big part what makes this application so unique. I do think it's a good idea to have an FTP option.

It's what hooked me 

Upstreaming is what won my heart in the first few days of using the OPML Editor, gee it's getting close to a year ago. Day 2 post on July 26, 2005.

Slick way to follow the action 

Espn.com's World Cup console. Screenshot. This is something like what I was thinking about for remote conference attendance with a live audio, docnography, and chat box.

Ack. Weirdnesses. 

I reloaded my blog page and all the various external frames went kerflooey. Chat was in the place where the Grazr view of the picture game comments was meant to be. My Yahoo map experiment was where the comments board box should have been. The iframe names must have been duplicated? Or like I said yesterday, I probably just have too much shit on here. It didn't happen until I added the Grazr frame. I think it uses an iframe, but I can't tell what the name is. Would it be called from the javascript loader? I don't know if that's an ignorant question or not. I think I need to make a special icon that means "1) I may be talking nonsense, 2) I'm self-conscious about that, 3) Help me, but 4) Don't judge me." What would that icon look like?

It does seem to be making an iframe. No name for it is specified here.

Roadmap for the OPML Editor 

Dave was wondering at Gnomedex about the roadmap for Firefox. I'm wondering what the tentative plan is for the OPML Editor's 1.0 release.

Here's what made me think of it today. It occurred to me that it's not exactly clear to brand new users of the blogging tool to know how to put an image in their posts. I was about to write up a quick howto just telling the URL for the blog decorations folder (hosting.opml.org vs. blogs.opml.org). I stopped myself because, who knows, maybe there's a plan to make a menu item for inserting an image. And maybe not all community servers will use the same subdomain naming conventions, though I'd think they should.
