14. September, 2002 - Life'll Kill Ya
- Warren Zevon Terminally Ill with lung cancer. Bummer. Jim Henley's got some more eloquent commentary here and here. Jeff over at the WVSR has some commentary, too (which will eventually end up here):
Of course his entire existence will be boiled down to the sentence Zevon was best known for the 1978 hit single Werewolves of London,
which will piss me off every time I read it. Damn. All he did was release about twenty albums full of excellent songs.

- Dave Ray's not doing so well, either. Crap.
- Apple Announces Mac OS X-Only Booting For 2003. If you want a machine that can boot Mac OS 9, better buy it before the end of the year.
- Origin Search - The Genealogy Search Engine for Family History Research looks like it might be useful. Haven't really played with it yet, because they want you to register first, and I haven't gotten the automagically set up a new email address in case someone sells it to a spammer so I can know who did it feature written yet.

- Cthuugle Ph'nglui Search Fhtagn!.
The complete HP Lovecraft Search Engine
. A nice use of the google API, I'm thinking. [flutterby]
- Davezilla has More fun with telemarketers. Heh! [davezilla]
- On a more personal note, the couple dozen of you who read this regularly probably noticed I missed yesterday entirely. I'd warned you this sort of thing would be happening. It's here. I'm not feeling full of linky goodness every morning, and I'm going to be scaling back some. Maybe a little break will recharge the batteries. I guess we'll find out. On the other hand, the 1500 or so of you who got here by way of a seach engine will probably never notice a missing day.
- Speaking of time off, Layne's going on vacation.. A lot. I've had a bunch of fun on vacations I took when I was nearly broke and went with minimal planning. Like driving to Chicago for pizza one Friday, because it sounded like a good idea. Well, and because my buddy was taking along the gal he eventually ended up marrying and needed another guy to balance boy/girl ratio in the car.
