I'll get back to First, We Take Las Vegas once I've finished some more of this select-by-example code, but the machinima link reminded me of something wonderful and terrible that mycroftxxx and I ran across last night: the YATTA! video as recreated on Star Wars: Galaxies.

Game over. They fucking win. I am especially enchanted by the rendition of the Surechigai-zama hohoemi kureta... bit. You'll just have to see it.

Also, sometime soon I need to post some ideas that have been circling for the last couple of weeks, particularly What The Hell I Mean By "Select by Example" Anyway and Several Problems With Anonymity. I'm also thinking about putting together an abstract for an O'Reilly Emerging Tech presentation, and may start soliciting use-case ideas. Or at least rabbiting on about the ones I've already had.
