• Those Days

  Some people may think that my lack of posting yesterday was an all-out assault on the land we call blogtopia, and if you do, then you don’t have a clue. It just turned out to be one of those days. A late morning, not in the office until after 11am. And then a busy day, [...]

• I Am. A Blogger.

  I am an opinionist. I am an archivist. And I have the ability to publish my material online. My card is American Express.

• In the News

  - Cindy Sheehan has resigned as the “so-called ‘Face’ of the American anti-war movement.“ – Gut reaction: I don’t really like the new Huffington Post. – Since announcing “almost three years ago that genocide was taking place [in Darfur],” the Bush administration is announcing plans to levy sanctions against Sudan. – And the U.S. and [...]

• Mailbag: Bullshit Jobs

  Once again, real emails, real life. (Keep them coming.) You made the top list of bullshit jobs….. of course, it is actually your side job.– Jimmy Steamboat, New Jersey At first, I thought you meant engineering, my day job, but I’ve got to admit, blogging is a lot like engineering. Engineering my demise. I can’t [...]

• In the News

  - A well known blogger/Web2.0 figure has proposed a blogger code of ethics. Blogging has officially gone mainstream. (I propose a blogger’s bill of rights. Actually, I should get on top of that.) – Barack Obama insists that the VP spot is absolutely out of the question, but it would have been political suicide to [...]

• Blog Poll

  A New York Times blog has blogged a poll on political blogs… Image: New York Times What I’d be more interested in is how often people read political blogs, or how much time they spend reading blogs, or to what degree people get their news (via links, etc.) or opinions from blogs, relative to mainstream [...]

• Candidate Blogs

  Jake Tapper briefly blogged the John Edwards blogger controversy — oh my — and I commented… I still don’t see why anyone would read a candidate’s official blog. The candidates have realized that a blog is just another outlet for their press releases. How much money do these bloggers make anyway? I blog, but I [...]

• In the News

  - I hope this becomes a trend: a NYC shopowner is suing four homeless people for loitering around his store. – States’ rights apparently do not exist as Feds raid medical marijuana clinics in California… “California voters approved Proposition 215, which made marijuana available by prescription for medicinal uses. The [Federal] Drug Enforcement Agdministration, which [...]

• In the News… Bloggers.

  - Soccer, er, football superstar David Beckham is coming to America. To play soccer, not for a reality series, but one is probably not too far behind. Look for ESPN to do a series dedicated to the “rebirth” of soccer in the U.S. – A liberal blogger gets sued for posting the following trash that [...]

• A New Chapter Unfolds (Let Me Blog It)

  Call it blogging karma; call it the big blogging sham. I’ve always thought of joining or starting an online book club (alright, “always” may not be the correct term; let’s go with “momentarily, here and there”), and what better way to commence then with the start of a new book, Kurt Vonnegut’s Bagombo Snuff Box. [...]

• Where Huffington Post Goes Wrong

  I have realized that you can not rely on the Huffington Post to read the news for you. Yes, the Post does a pretty good job of aggregating news stories from around th web, and generally, the title/link is all the information you need, especially when inane Hollywood chatter is the headline. But, there are [...]
