| Radio Bump Reply Hazy, try again.  Wednesday, February 27, 2002It's nice to know that AT&T has been spending their infrastructure money in Utah. Maybe that's why my calls drop out in Central Park. 7:51:37 PM
 discuss [] I've always been a fan of the Magic Eightball. I've found it to give very good advice at least 50% of the time. This is an astonishingly higher accuracy rate than most people who give me advice. In that spirit, Magic Eightball Everywhere: Here's an online magic eightball. It's a Web app. You can also see what other people are asking, although I found that this feature was not for the faint of heart and could be downright depressing. People ask all sorts of sappy questions like; "Does she ever think of me now?" It just breaks my little heart. More impressive is The Public Eightball. It's an actual Magic Eightball that is hooked to a Lego Mindstorm-based apparatus that shakes the ball for you and displays the result in a Webcam image. Unfortunately, it seems to currently be off kilter, and you can't see the result. If you don't find either of these to your liking, Yahoo actually has a portal category devoted to just online Magic Eightball Apps. A more thorough listing, with reviews, is here. The same site has a listing of the actual Eightball answers. You can find a scientific dissection of an Eightball here. If you are running Mac OS X, this dockling will allow you to have a Magic Eightball in your dock. If you are running Windows, this app will let you have a Magic Eightball in your system tray. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I could not find a standalone Java app or a Linux app that simulates the Magic Eightball. If you know of one, please email me so that I can add it to this post. I'm certain that they are out there somewhere.
This site seems to have the best little history of the Eightball that I could find, but it's not very in-depth.
5:14:54 PM Curious about our President's connections to the villians at Enron? I know you are. Michael Moore has updated the essay that I previously linked to with links to stories and other Web pages with more details. 12:08:56 PM

discuss [] I fired up my Tivo last night before I went to bed, and chose to watch yesterday's episode of The Screen Savers. Who on my screen should appear, but Ben and Mena from movabletype. Nice to see someone who deserves the recognition get it. 10:26:20 AM
discuss [] dooce becomes another in the proud line of people who lost their job because of what they posted on their personal site. Messed up. 10:20:43 AM
