Congratulations to Forbes for having one of the most poorly written articles on blogging ever. Daniel Lyons, who obviously falls squarely on the side of the older styles of journalism (those would be nepotism, invective, and abuse), pens a mighty blow against “the ultimate vehicle for brand-bashing, personal attacks, political extremism and smear campaigns”, blogs.

The comments situation here will continue as I just had a fun peek into my server stats. 22.09% of the requests to my site are to mt-comments.cgi. Oddly, the most bandwidth passes from my Politics category, but that’s another story. Now, I don’t pretend to be in any way important to the community; this is […]
Comedy Central has announced that on November 1, they will launch Motherload, a broadband IPTV service. Yes, it will include The Daily Show because, if it didn’t, no one would have noticed the press release.

Quick follow-up. Ars Technica has a great summary of the events along with some new details. The Penny Arcade fans have banned together and worked up a detailed account of Jack’s activities. One of the forum members has reported the entire incident to the FBI, including the detailed report (forum thread here [NSFW language]). The […]
Arbor Update, a local Ann Arbor blog, recently posted about the riots in Toledo (CNN story). Throughout the day, I’ve been following the hilarious thread as trolls are driven to the post, likely from a search or some post in the neo-Nazi forum somewhere. After some people called for the racist crap be deleted, one […]
