Far as a rental car can go

Gosh, I love driving the hell out of a rental car. I mean, it's not mine, and so long as I don't total it or get caught, no repercussions for me, right? I won't have to live with this car for very long, don't have to worry about any long term maintenance of it, so I can use it and abuse it with reckless abandon. The sheer acceleration that I'd never do in my car, knowing that it's all consequence-free because it's not my property that I'm fooling around with, there's simply No Comparison to that kind of thrill, is there?
If only I could live, constantly and henceforth, with the joy of non-ownership of that which I have: a house that I don't have to clean, friends that I don't have to be nice to, a body I can just totally let go of- that would be awesome. And if everybody else could do the same, surely that would be heaven.

Output from a friend's cool applet



From here to here.

Must come back later and fool around with this some more.
I think my nephew (who has shown interest in animation) would really enjoy this.

Heh

Working with XSL right now:

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="1=1">
1=1
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
1=2
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

prints out 1=1.
But

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="a=a">
a=a
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
a=b
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

prints out a=b.

So, a does not equal a, eh?
