Stupid graphics

News channels have a kind of sick love affair with flashy, eye-catching graphics that convey little tidbits of information. However, sometimes it's better to just leave it alone. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.

Dual format

I just wanted to share with all of you what I just printed out on my printer: Hello, I live in the condo below you. I work nights. I would really appreciate it if you would not play your stereo so loud that I can easily sing along to the lyrics so early in the […]

Memo to leftists

Evan Coyne Maloney has a new video up from the protests at last week's presidential inauguration. One thing the leftists in the video -- and those that think like them -- might want to consider before they start advocating armed revolution: remember who's got all of the guns.

Journalism education

Hindrocket over at Powerline has gotten a little bit of an education in how major (read: large) American newspapers work.

A couple of brief notes

First, there's this story from the New York Daily News on congressman and mayoral hopeful Anthony Weiner. This is one of the main reasons I will likely never run for public office.

Not a bad read

I finished Michael Crichton's latest novel, "State of Fear," a couple of weeks ago.

What good is having a Weblog if you can't help out your friends? A friend of mine has started her own Ebay store selling all sorts of handmade items. There's no cool electronics stuff, but plenty of good gifts for the fairer sex. So check it out.

Jinxed

Remind me never to write anything positive about Microsoft or Bill Gates again (see below). The Outlook folder that contained all of my blog-related correspondence has been corrupted and Microsoft's fix-it tool doesn't. So, if you've e-mailed me in the past day or so, your message is gone -- feel free to resend it. Argh!
