January 12 2004 :: <Brent> Is this entry your own writing, Bren, or somebody else's? Because it's amazing work.
January 16 2006 :: <Molly> what is it with boys and those microwavable whitecastle burgers? must be a pandemic.
January 17 2006 :: <Stephen> Damn low end of the labor market.
January 18 2009 :: <Brent> Wow, an actual weblog, in the original sense of the term!

January 1 2006 :: <Anonymous> and there it went
January 1 2011 :: <Anonymous> The idea that nothing has changed is never a welcome thought. Neither are the feelings that come from reflecting on how different the past is from the perpetually more stressful present. It makes you wonder how much worse it will be, spending hours on end reviewing your life, as you lie waiting for the cold grasp of death near the end of your life.
January 20 2004 :: <Anonymous> my number 3 test message
January 21 2002 :: <Brennen> I might have gone to a poetry reading by SydneyLea in the humanities lounge in the english building at WayneStateCollege, some time around this date. I only went because my drawing instructor at the time made me go. It was damn good.
January 22 2006 :: <Brent> On this day, Brennen wrote: "''Your'' experience is interesting, perhaps especially where it is not dominated by other people's art." I suggest that that your experience is interesting, ''most definitely'' where it is not dominated by other people's art.

January 25 2006 :: <Molly> very well put. your entry, that is.
January 26 2002 :: <Brennen> I finished reading ''TheShockwaveRider'' by JohnBrunner.
January 28 2003 :: <Brennen> Re: "turtle", I really think this is a theme we ought to explore further. For example, in something like SquiddySquid. SeeAlso: UnrequiredPoetry.
January 28 2004 :: <Alan> Ugh, yeah, narrative the word is enough to make a person sick isn't it. The next person who tells me I'm a narrative is going to be told that they are a program...people need to learn that their personal take on things is arbitrary garbage to everyone else.
January 28 2006 :: <Brent> As far as I know, your interpretation of the power supply warning is correct. That said, I've always felt that the price of a new power supply is worth not fearing for my life as I poke around inside a power supply.
January 29 2009 :: LaraBoudreaux. DannyYee, BookReview.
January 2 2009 :: <Saalon> There's a really fair argument to make against more shit like Revolutionary Road. Too bad Siegel decided to divert into bashing every anti-suburb piece on the planet instead of keeping focused on his point. 'Cause he makes it at the very end, and it's a good one.

July 12 2010 :: <Molly> Paul is my new hero.
July 13 2008 :: <Molly> Perhaps it's too optimistic, but let's pretend the author of that note is a convicted felon whose voting rights have been rescinded.
July 14 2006 :: <Anonymous> you're certifiable.

July 17 2008 :: <Molly> I associate the following with winter, oddly enough: the toasted lint and spilled detergent smell of laundromats
July 18 2005 :: <Brennen> Today, part the first of an essay about education. SeeAlso: DemocraticEducation, PhilosophyOfEducation.
July 18 2011 :: <Alan> This does make sense. What's missing here is the concept of records. Some of the standard unix tools are definitely record-based (sort, uniq, join, comm, cut, paste, wc, shuf, tsort). Some not necessarily (cat, tr, split, dd, cksum, head, tail).

July 1 2004 :: You can see pictures of the baby if you go to growingfamily.com, go to the link that says 'Visit the Web Nursery' and then type in the baby's birthday, state of birth and first three letters of the mom's last name. (Her birthday's June 18th in case you weren't sure). With love, Lacey
July 1 2007 :: <caeb> What you need, really, is to temper your experimental nature with actual knowledge about how to cook.
July 22 2003 :: Today is Tuesday, Brennen.
July 22 2011 :: <Alan> I've decided to stay as far away as I can from the latest Ubuntu releases. Basically, I wait until they discontinue security patches, then dist-upgrade to the next-most-obsolete version.
July 24 2003 :: Bren, you are right on. Routine '''is''' safety. People generally struggle to make order from chaos, and coping is one of the things that humanity does best. Anyone can be put into practially any situation and, after a period of disorientation, routine will emerge.
July 25 2007 :: <caeb> Tell T I resent that.
July 25 2008 :: <Molly> Raccoons sound an awful lot like people bustling around in bushes, in my experience. They're noisy little nocturnal buggers.
July 26 2007 :: <caeb> You could always just say you're doing a "cleanse". For your spiritual health and proper elimination!

July 29 2004 :: <Brennen> Messing about with replacing the wiki with Brent's wala system.
July 2 2008 :: <Josh> Did you ever receive a response on this? I've seen that and it's also struck me as being pretty fucktarded.
July 2 2009 :: <Alan> I've got one of those portable pumps. Surprisingly, it's never been stolen off the frame after three years of occasionally leaving it out on the streets of nyc. The other day though somebody stole half of a toe clip. WTF?
July 30 2006 :: ChapbookProcess
July 30 2007 :: <Molly> Always so hard on yourself...you can pick at least one note. That's too bad about N. Creek. Well..all good things and all that...want to write more, but realise I should email you instead.
July 30 2008 :: <Saalon> $sBrennenString = "Hey, Card! You homophobic toolbag, you preposterous self-derivative ever-declining hack! Fuck you %s!";
July 3 2003 :: Tweaked ye olde wiki slightly today. See wiki software notes.
July 3 2006 :: <Anonymous> You really shouldn't have done that.
July 4 2004 :: <Brennen> Boing Boing mention, re: ossuary
July 4 2006 :: <Anonymous> Are you mad?
July 4 2011 :: <Alan> "God Bless America," or "Giant Abstraction #1 Bless Giant Abstraction #2." They embrace. It's a touching scene.
July 5 2011 :: <Alan> On the flipside, you could look at this picture and say email won. That new platform that's going to change the way people communicate? Guess what, it still sends all the important stuff via email.
July 8 2006 :: <Anonymous> I drive over 80 miles each way to work, almost all of it on a major interstate highway. At least once every single day, and as many as five times a day I get passed by a cop that is well outside of his jurisdiction. Will he ever get pulled over? No, of course not. He's driving a get-out-of-tickets-free car and has a get-out-of-tickets-free ID card in his wallet.
July 9 2003 :: Ryokan was a 19th century Japanese Zen monk and, unless you take his word for it, poet.
June 17 2003 :: VannevarBush, hypertext, ''ScienceIsNotEnough''.
June 19 2003 :: <Saalon> Oh no. Are you coming down in favor of FreeVerse being more artistically viable? Admittedly I know too little about poetry to say wholeheartedly that freeverse is crap but...ok...99% of all poetry not following some sort of rule structure, either meter or rhyme or something, has been supercrap. The most intelligent thing I can say is that my two favorite poets, LordAlfredTennyson and RobertFrost, have both adhered very closely to some sort of structure, and usually it rhymed (though not agressively so).
June 19 2007 :: <Brent> But is that the same kind of life for everyone? E.g., does each "worthwhile artist" have to have the same kind of life?
June 19 2008 :: <Anonymous> from whence comes this fascination of eating black beans with chopsticks?
June 1 2004 :: I have lived many places, and therefore have had to change what i called it. unfortunately i now live in a place that has made me call everything coke, i hate it!!! -- Lauren
June 1 2007 :: <Brent> Obviously, this is meant to remind us of the elusive Molewatermug, a squat, river-dwelling creature with a long snout and ribbed back that lives in some timelines of New Zealand. Right?
June 21 2011 :: ErrolMorris
June 23 2004 :: Wow great stuff Brennen.
June 24 2003 :: Today: Tiananmen Square, some stuff on June 19 2003.
June 27 2006 :: TruckstopHoneymoon, RequiredMusic.
June 29 2006 :: <BrentNewhall> Nah. We're still moving, just not towards the future we envisioned. It's one of the problems with SF; people don't want to live in the hard-edged, jumpsuited future of golden age (or silver age) SF. The future won't be a radical departure from the past. Which makes it harder to envision.

June 2 2006 :: <Molly> maranatha's always been a death camp. also, I am drunk.
June 30 2008 :: <Brent> Sounds like something out of xkcd, somehow.
June 3 2004 :: Words are crack. Caffeine, nicotine. Sometimes they want you to think they're oxygen. Just try going one day without composing anything in your brain. You'll never make it.\
June 3 2006 :: <BrentNewhall> Huh. I assume you're being deliberately provocative with this. Spam doesn't exactly own p1k3, does it? It sure doesn't own many of my favorite channels of communication and expression (instant messaging, IRC, telephone, etc.).
June 4 2003 :: This is my favorite entry in a long time. It has a certain purity to its language -- simple, yet powerful, and definitely lyrical in its own way. I love the flow of the entry, too, thoughts bumping into each other like flotsam in a stream. Nicely done. -- Brent

June 5 2010 :: <Brent> I eagerly look forward to it, and making copies to give around. If doing that is okay with you.
June 6 2004 :: Have fun. Don't forget to write. If you see Stephen Hawking, tell him to return my calls.
June 6 2007 :: <Molly> That is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO freaking cool!
June 6 2010 :: <Stephen> Wow. I haven't seen "font face" in over a decade. Good times.
June 8 2007 :: <Anonymous> black capped chickadees?
