Looks like he’s on the Chicago Bulls summer league team, with Luke Schenscher and Not The Jason Williams. Go, Jackie! Update: Jackie scored 7 points in 9.5 minutes yesterday against the Pacers.

Something Awful comes up with some really relaxing CDs. :) My favorite is probably lightsabers. If they were real lightsabers, you’d never go to sleep. Link courtesy of Best Week Ever

No, it’s not anime, despite the title. It is, however, a ghost city on a small Japanese island, abandoned in 1974. A photographer took some amazing pictures. Link courtesy of Metafilter.

Something in me loves these Polish movie posters…it must be something very dark. Of course, if I actually walked into a theater and saw a wall full of them, I might never go out again. The originals are for sale at PolishPoster.com.

Raymond Camden solicits some examples of bad ColdFusion code. My personal favorite is when the logic for a simple application is split into a dozen files, none of which are ever reused anywhere else, and that have no comments or other documentation indicating their actual use. I just love searching across all of the files in a directory to find where one variable is being set, or, better yet, where the end of a table tag is located. :| ...

Yep, apparently I’m not really on the Web, because my first thought when I saw this news in about twenty outlets was “What exactly is a Rocketboom?” Apparently, it was a short news show produced for the Internet.

Then, at home, I don’t really enjoy hanging out the entire evening doing the same sorts of things I do at work.

General Zod for President in 2008 When I first came to your planet and demanded your homes, property and very lives, I didn’t know you were already doing so, willingly, with your own government. I can win no tribute from a bankrupted nation populated by feeble flag-waving plebians. In 2008 I shall restore your dignity and make you servants worthy of my rule. This new government shall become a tool of my oppression. Instead of hidden agendas and waffling policies, I offer you direct candor and brutal certainty. I only ask for your tribute, your lives, and your vote. - General Zod ...
