I went to both Thrashers pre-season games this weekend and was not dissapointed by the experience. They split the games, losing to the New York Rangers 3-2 in Overtime and crushed the New Jersey Devils today 6-1. They looked a lot better than I expected. I also took a bunch of pictures with traditional film that will end up here as soon as I get them developed.

I spent the majority of the weekend at these games and watching some pretty bad movies with Kate, but also working on the backend of Bump. There will be subtle changes to the site later this week, and bigger ones in early October.

On that note, Camworld saw some major changes this week, and Cam has really improved the interface and made it more integrated. He also added a personalization feature that allows the user to customize the page color. Kepp it up Cam, you're an inspiration to the rest of the Weblog community.

On the subject of my favorite sites, I don't think I've mentioned kottke.org yet. Strong design and great links with opinion. Another person that I feel humble in the presence of. He recently pointed to a site talking about the status of the casting for the upcoming Lord of the Rings movie which I am eagerly anticipating. I've read the books somewhere on the order of 20 times, and I'm considering giving them another go soon.

Looking forward, there is a lot going on this week. The Matrix DVD is out Tuesday, and so is the new Nine Inch Nails CD. I'm looking forward to both.

OnMP3.com is an MP3 oriented Weblog.

fischler.org is a new Weblog with some potential. If you don't believe me, look at this guy's links page which is 178k.

Another new Weblog site that caught my eye this week is Lake Effect. I'm not sure I like the color scheme though. It's powered by Blogger.com which I mentioned a few posts ago.

I updated the DMOZ Weblog directory tonight. To show how much things have grown, we're up to 93 sites listed. We were somewhere in the twenties when I signed on as an editor. If you have a Weblog and aren't listed, I encourage you to submit your site. (You go there to submit, but I'll take your submission via email if you are that lazy.)
