I Blame Chomsky!

I found this quote when trying to solve my headache of the day. ie. Why does Internet explorer fail to match a regular expression that Firefox has no problem with?

“Some people, when confronted with a problem, think “I know, I’ll use regular expressions.” Now they have two problems.”

Jamie Zawinski.

The problem with web standards is that everyone has their own.

The Seeker

i’m looking for me
you’re looking for you
we’re looking in at each other
and we don’t know what to do

the who

I knew what I didn’t want to do, and that was link to “The Streak”, that dreadful 70s novelty song by Ray Stevens. See, there’s only a few letters difference in the title of the Who song, although I suppose everybody’s going to notice now that I’ve brought it to your attention.

Ahem. Anyhoo, a few days ago a U.K. mobile phone company put up on its site “The Beautiful Game,” in which you play a female streaker trying to dash across the pitch, dodging cops and players. There wasn’t anything obscene about it and it was kind of fun but someone apparently thought elsewise, because it was gone when I returned tonight (for research purposes only).

Because my readers demand quality streaker-based entertainment, I’ve gone “the extra mile,” and rounded up pretty well all the quality (and non-quality) streaker-based entertainment out there.

Warning: These are pretty innocuous, but probably NSFW. All three have music and sfx and you might want to watch (figuratively speaking) the banners on the last one.
