Introduce Yourself!

If you are new, or would otherwise like to, feel free to write a post (like this one) announcing your arrival, and as much or as little information as you would like to share.

I will put mine up within 24 hours, if you’d like an example.  And all of these will be tagged “Introductions”. I’ll set up a separate page to display these.

Note: these will be public unless you explicitly make them private.  More on that later.  For now, treat them as public.

More soon!

White House Revisited

I am watching Roger Ebert’s commentary on the magnificent Casablanca.  I once went to validate a quote and searched for best lines from this movie.  A list of popular quotes reads much like the screenplay itself — no movement wasted.  I have studied this movie not as a movie, but as a story.  humphrey-bogart-in-casablancaEbert’s angle swings through periods of movie-ness (lighting, camera work, and so forth), but contains good notes on the story as well.

If you can get your hands on this DVD, I highly recommend it.  If not, well, do what I did — have a resourceful friend :-)

Au Revoir Simone

These girls rokk: Au Revoir Simone, with Fallen Snow.  Heard this today and looked it up.  Nice!

Then there are improvements we’ve been running here.  I think I got user media libraries and so more responsive comment/reply notification.  The notifications are not customized per user — just a list of what’s recent, but it’s better than it was.

Embarrassing point: I cannot figure out what controls the tabs at the top which list individual pages.  Thus, I cannot turn it off.  Well, it will come down eventually.

And somewhere in the distance, a straw breaks a camel’s back.
