I have finally pulled the trigger on ushering the process of getting TrackBack accepted as a core Internet standard. I may feel differently in a couple months, but for some reason I have always wanted to be a key player in Internet standard. First as an implementor, then as a participant, and now perhaps as a driver.
Reading and Watching
Weeds - Season 4
After another season in the 'burbs I was losing interest. Weeds was just getting too dried out and stale. But Season Four really turned the season around for me.
Caprica
There are things I like, things I don't. The production is excellent though - which is why I will tune in this Fal.
Religulous
Yet another documentarian, like Mike Moore, whose ideas I 100% agree with, but whose delivery hurts the message. Everyone should watch this film.
The Wire - The Complete Fifth Season
I am already 2 episodes in. Man this is going to be doozy of a season. McNulty, what are you doing!?
John Adams (HBO Miniseries)
Surprised to learn that the first episode is more like Law & Order 1770 than a historical bio-pic.
W.
I have worked with people who can't help but fail upwards. It is amazing one can do it all the way to the White House.
Humboldt County
Who knew everyone in Humboldt County is in the business of selling weed? But judging by this movie it would be easy to come to that conclusion.
The Dark Knight
Already watched it twice. Thanks Michelle! Special features revealed that they actually built a fully functional motorcycle to serve as the Bat-cycle!
The Children of Hurin
Hoping this book will pick up soon and be less like reading the Bible and more like reading regular old boring prose.

For fear that people might take my sentiments about being a "key player" a little out of context (http://photomatt.net/2006/02/21/better-trackback/)...
My interest primarily is in serving a greater interest and good. And I see the standards process as one of the best ways to achieve that. Think about it... where else on the Internet have successful, formalized democracies ever been taken shape? Not many.
My desire in being "key" is not about fame or pride, it is about my desire to being involved and not being satisfied with being a passive observer of the process.
Good work!
