Warning: This post contains petty whining, references to winter, and cathartic material. I am not depressed, I just play it on the Internet. Fall must be on the way; I’m feeling the demotivating doldrums coming on. J– and I talked about this last night about how, in the middle of the day, I felt as […]
I have to ‘fess up; I got snookered, hoodwinked, and down-right tricked. My previous post about the Humane Society of the US (Don’t We Have More Important Things to Do) was, in short, wrong. Thanks to Dan for pointing out my ironic reaction to that false report about Wayne Pacelle’s statements; the Animal Agriculture Alliance […]
… you can tape bacon to a cat. Just not ours. I’m curious to hear a reaction from our Feline Americans. Whatever: Clearly You People Thought I Was Kidding [via Fark]
UPDATE: Welcome Googlers. Check out the follow-up post before you flame this one. Remember kids, if you want to advance your cause, personalize the subject and rev up your logical fallacies. Today’s example: they’re not dogs, they’re “Canine Americans”. No joke. And animal-rights groups wonder why we don’t take them seriously. I’m not advocating random […]

Awesome cartoonist and all-around great guy (no, seriously) John Auchter has a new and improved website/blog. John’s been cranking away learning all about WordPress and servers and hosting (oh my) and he’s finally up and running. Check out his new site and leave a commnet.. he’ll even talk back.
In a follow-up to a post on Boing Boing about New Orleans a year after the Big K, I dropped a link to point out that ThinkNOLA’s been around for a tad bit longer. Damn if that suggestion didn’t make the front page (on a holiday weekend Friday, but hey, it’s better than a knitting […]
We don’t have enough orators in this world anymore, at least not orators that make any damned sense. We get people like Bush, or Gore, or Rumsfeld who fancy themselves orators but, really, at their heart are passionless readers. Except, that today, we may have found one. A writer, to be sure, of some prowess. […]
The message from New Orleans is clear. This country should be ashamed. Say a few words for some of your countrymen today. It’s more than the grandstanding in the Gulf Coast will do for them. (Seems to be a pattern.)
Scoble says that Steve Ball, group program manager for the Windows Audio Video Excellence team (hell of title) is reading all the blog, newsgroup, and beta feedback about the Vista sound. For those of you not familiar, the Windows Audio Video Excellence team has decided that the default, startup sound for Windows Vista will not […]
