News You Can Bruise for 2008 December 27

(1) Sat Dec 27 2008 07:38 Best of Bookmarks, July-August:

• Bootleg copy of Thomas Disch's "Fun With Your New Head", in memoriam.
• The weblog that dissects Lifetime movies is still running.
• At some point somebody started a rap group called Robot Finds Kitten. Please, Crummy readers, find me the meta-kitten that is their Liars Paradox-riffic CD, "Rap Is Dead".
• Now is probably a good time for me to reread Jaron Lanier's "You Can't Argue With A Zombie"
• A Siskel and Ebert outtake that turns into a witty, profane joint rant against WASPs.
• Target: Women: still awesome. Plus, in the most recent episode, Sarah Haskins moons everybody.
• Unwinder's Tall Comics is great and usually includes some embedded fictional comic or other work.

Sat Dec 27 2008 17:08 Beautiful Soup 3.1.0: It's out. It's not useful unless you need to use Beautiful Soup with Python 3. But now I'm free to try my parser replacement experiments, which are at least more interesting than screwing around with bytestrings.

Sat Dec 27 2008 22:26: While I'm at it I should mention there's now a Squeak port of Beautiful Soup.
