The monthlies.

• A Tweet Future

  Maybe my life is meaningless. I mean, outside of my wife and dog, my house and job, my family and belongings, really what else is there? I think I need to go on hiatus, on some sort of sabbatical. I need only a few things besides my brain and hands. When I re-emerge from solidarity [...]

• Workdress Wednesday

  Nearly two months ago, I scribbled an idea on the white-board in my office. Not a virtual one — an actual physical white-board with different colored markers on a tray along with an eraser that never seems to wipe the board clean. It read Workdress Wednesday. I threw in a dot-com just for kicks.
  In my [...]

• Sharks

  I’m going to give it a chance tonight. That is, western hockey. Growing up in Buffalo and going to school in Syracuse, I have my obvious biases — Sabres and eastern hockey, Big East basketball, AFL football. But I live in the bay area, and I’d love to watch more hockey.
  Whenever the Sabres make it [...]

• Newsom Redux

  I shouldn’t have, but I did.
  I read this article on TechCrunch hyping the Gavin Newsom announcement, in which it concludes that “the question is whether his opponents will be able to effectively use the same tools [Twitter, Facebook] without ringing hollow.” Really, that is the question?
  The question is not if Newsom can turn those Twitter [...]

• Newsom

  San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom announced his candidacy for governor with a tweet on Twitter, followed by a blog entry on the Huffington Post. You stay classy, Gavin.
  Disclaimer: I would vote for Newsom if he were the nominee.

• Recruiter Spam

  I do not care for recruiters. (And they’ll never get past my spam filter… never!)

  I wonder if he wonders if I can pass on a friend’s email that may be interested in a job in a certain industry with unknown duties in an unknown location and an unknown salary. (No one rings a bell.)
  If you [...]

  I’m trying to explain to my wife the difference between .htaccess/.htpasswd and WordPress log-in. #
  YouTube will be known as the biggest mistake Google made. #
  The dog is sleeping; Bill Moyers on TiVo. #
  I’m amidst a showdown over blog attribution. #

• Overthrow

  A keen observation…
  Conservatives are so incensed by warnings about the threat of right wing radicalism that they’re considering overthrowing the federal government. — Josh Marshall, very late last night.
  Tea, anyone?

• Buy American

  We should all do what we can to end the violent drug wars in Mexico. The first step is to curb “our insatiable demand for illegal drugs [that] fuels the drug trade,” as professed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and buy American…
