This is the best way of putting things that I have yet seen. It’s something I’ve been on about before, that corporations seem to have all the rights of an individual, but none of the responsibilities, and an incredibly robust defense agains the liabilities that an individual must own up to. I want to see [...]

Jeez, never ever post immdiately after you think a problem is solved, because it will unfix itself for another day. The cable company, again with the not working. The good thing is they’re polite and answer their phone 24/7, and were happy to deal with my net.jonesing self. Well, if not happy, at least tolerant. [...]

Yeah, it has been a rocky couple of days for the factory, and its ability to stay online. This weekend has seen some sort of catastrophic failure at the cable company, resulting in the net connection going down. That would have been easily diagnosed by itself, except for the fact that simultaneously, my Airport died, [...]

An html copy of the program of Maddy’s memorial program, from the service in Phildelphia a couple weeks ago, can be found here.

This is kind of fun.

I’ve made my opinion about Pete Rose clear: he’s a jerk who thinks the world owes him something, not understanding that he is writing bad checks on that good-will account he used to have money in. But I was over reading some stuff at Baseball Prospectus, a site so good I gave them a couple [...]

Sorry we couldn’t stop by, 27. We weren’t there for very long, in late Friday and out early Sunday. The memorial for Maddy was wonderful: a gathering of old and new friends got together to remember what a “magnificent bitch” Maddy was, in Larry’s words. She was certainly that. It was a pretty stressful trip, [...]

It’s four degrees above stupid outside, mid-morning, and we’re about to take off for Philadelphia, for Maddy’s memorial service this weekend. Insane. I hope everyone is warmer than I am right now. I’ll post the list of bad movies when I get back.

MoveOn.org’s Bush in 30 Seconds contest has produced some nifty commercial spots. I think Child’s Play is my favorite. Anyway, it’s great to see an organization like MoveOn.org put together a serious truth hammer to counter the spin of FauxNews.

Pete Rose has admitted to gambling on baseball, and gambling on the team he managed. He’s doing this to get his ban lifted, so that he can appear on the ballot for Cooperstown before 2005 rolls around and he becomes eligible only as a Veteran’s Committee inductee. He’s an asshole, he hurt the game more [...]
