It’s half handmade. I took the idea from Structured blogging and wrote down my own plugin, which only converts the text “Rating 8/10″ into those stars. It’s a very simple plugin, which requires certain images in certain directory. If you want, I can send the source to you (or write a blog post about it).

It is so postmodern, isn’t it?

Well… and now I feel a bit like tracking it down. But it might be a pointless task. But somebody must have said it for the first time.

Well, first, in the seventieth century, it was New Amsterdam. I could bet that the phrase was coined in the twentieth century by some filmmaker or painter. That’s like for sure.

I’ve heard it in so many movies, that I lost the track of the source of it. In fact, I believe I never knew who said it first.

But I’m aware of the fact. I was just kidding Just another variation - so to call it.

BTW does the original (with New York in it) come from “Northern Exposure” or is it Woody A.? Ot is it this sort of quotation that appears everywhere and there is no source for it anymore…

That would probably be the original quote. Mine is just its variation.

Or is it - confusion is a state of mind? (permanent) I think Linklater is somehow closer to real life, and Hartley to philosophy. But that’s just my subjective POV
