One week into 2008 and this is only my second post. Were you one of those who was checking every day to see if I’d resumed the daily posts? Do you miss me yet?
Alas, all is not lost. I’ve been writing — as always — just not here, very much. In fact [...]

Herr George would likely be the first to argue with the basic premise of this book.
Slashdot (as is becoming more and more rare, unfortunately — but that’s another post entirely) had an interesting review article posted regarding a controversial new work of non-fiction soon to be released detailing a theory that contradicts what many historians [...]

Slashdot had a story this morning on some ass litigious fellow who is trying to sue Apple for hearing loss incured from the use of his iPod. He is apparently claiming that there should be better warnings on products like iPod that can cause the metally feeble among us to forget we are responsible [...]

Someone wrote this in a comment thread on Slashdot (/.) this morning. I thought it was both funny and poignant:
Love the word fungible. It means something like “exchangeable for similar things”. Web surfing is NON-FUNGIBLE. That means if we were not web-surfing, as a respite from the stress of working with computers, we’d NOT [...]

I don’t know how picky the spam scrubber on this blog can be, but sometimes it will reject those comments of yours out of sheer spite. At random. Who knows…

I’ve been plotting.
Since no one has really (truly) offered any concrete suggestions for a NaNoWriMo plot, I’ve been left to flounder. As such, I’ve been thinking: And I’ve decided on a direction. It’s vague. It’s still very much open-ended. But its a direction, and I’ve started down that path.
That said…
I’m still open [...]

Every morning, it seems, I wake to the sound of a hair dryer. Karin, the most habitual sleeper in the world, climbs out of bed a half hour before me for two distinct, clear, and precise reasons: (a) she needs to leave for work sooner than I, and (b) she needs to dry her [...]

another lame story from our pals at slashdot
The title says it all: skimming slashdot this morning I came across a link to a commercial wesite selling a webserver that is smaller than your thumb. So, maybe this doesn’t impress you, eh? Let me just say this: most web servers are a lot bigger [...]

Everyone’s favorite self-referencing news source, Slashdot, posted a link to this article about the life of the high-school nerd, and it’s root cause.
