Someone on the intarweb collects and posts Grocery Lists. Suprisingly they are fascinating. I love found stuff. Sometimes I amuse myself by thinking about things I could leave around my office for other people to find.

I love speeches. Today, del.ico.us pointed me to a web site where they have a Top 100 Speeches list, complete with transcripts, and a fair number MP3′s or streams of the speeches.

This is so beautiful. I’m going to d/l all the speeches tonight. I wish they would specify if all of these speeches are in the public domain. It looks like there the web site author is invoking the “fair use” principles for the material on this site, according to this Fair Use Notice.

Sometime the future concerning digital rights and access can look so bleak. Stuff like this is so much the opposite of the feared future it makes me giggle.

O.K., let’s count down the days until they get a “take-down” notice.

I am very much behind on movies that I have meant to see. So I thought I would start a running list here. Similiar to my book list.

If there is a movie you think I should see, add it as a comment.

Classics

• The Manchurian Candidate (1962)
• Casablanca – Technically I’ve seen twice, but never managed to stay awake the whole way through.
• The Bridge On The River Kwai
• Taxi Driver
• Metropolis
• This is Spinal Tap

Meant to see it

• Fargo
• Saved
• Lost in Translation
• Momento
• The Deer Hunter

Suggested to me

• Crimen del padre Amaro
• Pieces of April
• Fight Club
• Braveheart – what have I been living under a rock!
• Gladiator
• 21 Grams

Obviously this is an incomplete list. I’ll keep adding on it for a while.
