I’ve noticed a disturbing trend in the headlines lately, and that is the use of “bow” as a verb, meaning to introduce something.
Why does this suck? Well, it sucks for a million reasons. First, we do not live in Japan or the Hapbsurg Empire of Olde. We do not bow [...]

We’re back from Brooklyn. Despite what could be termed one of the strangest and more aggravating trips of my travelling career, the details of which I shall not divulge here, we had a really good time.
I’ve been in love with Brooklyn, even if I didn’t know it was a real place, ever [...]

Just wanted to let you all know that you shouldn’t worry about the health and well-being of me, my baby, my wife or my pets.

Just a quick note before I go to remind my tens of readers that they can never be too careful and to be extra cautious without me helping them out in the coming week.
For instance, it is I who warned you not to click this link lest you explode from too much cuteness in your [...]

Hi kids! We’re off to NYC tomorrow, so things should be relatively inactive around here. I encourage you to ignore all the comment spam, since I likely won’t have a chance to manage that while I’m out of town. Also, I encourage you to click on the photos over there to the [...]

Once again, it’s “Secret Santa time.”http://www.thinkblank.com/santa2004/ And once again, I will reiterate that you should not do it. Two years running I have been shafted on this, meaning I bought people their gifts, only to receive none. Now I know it’s supposed to be all about generosity and all that, but it [...]

If you haven’t already moved to Canada, and you live in Georgia, I have a suggestion. Get involved with this PAC, in which I and my wife are taking part (although I am only on the margins as yet).
Personally, I’m not very political. Having been thoroughly stewed in a liberal arts relativist [...]

It’s truly a miracle.
In the birthplace of all modern pastry, and the nation that truly sits atop of the pasty world, a miracle pie portends Something Big.
I think I’m going to pull all the stored foods out of the basement, load up the family and pets in a wagon and start heading toward the Zion [...]

The ATL is difficult to navigate at best, but downright scary most of the time.

Coil was one of those bands in my record collection I was almost ashamed to admit I liked. Probably because people would hear me listening to it and say, “you like this? Regardless, Coil had a pedigree to blaze trails, being founded by a founding member of Throbbing Gristle, and blaze Coil did. [...]

I went to an election party a while back. You may have heard about this election. It was the one where you go and push on a Fisher-Price voting toy and then go home to learn who the machines picked as President. Anyway, I was having fun at an election party.
And in walks [...]

The recent clampdowns and excessive fines by the F*ck!ng Censorship Committee, err, I mean FCC, is having what our current administration and, apparently, a lot of red staters would have as the desired effect. On Veteran’s Day, stations are too timid to show “Saving Private Ryan”:

Cole cited recent FCC actions and last week’s re-election [...]

I just discovered Alton Brown’s Blog, where he dropped this little bit of science:

We are fat and sick and dying because we have handed a basic, fundamental and intimate function of life over to corporations. We choose to value our nourishment so little that we entrust it to strangers. We hand our lives over to [...]

Via Matt’s site comes word of this Blogumentary—a documentary video about weblogs.
Now, I’m not going to blanket condemn the thing, ‘cause I haven’t seen it, but that is a challenging topic to say the least. I mean, it’s a movie about websites.
So I clicked on over to the trailer, and when the [...]
