This has already been everywhere, but oh well. There are just so many interesting things about danah boyd’s social-neworking/class analysis I don’t know where to start. A few weeks ago I mused that “Myspace will remain as the go-to site for musicians, aspiring porn stars and people looking to hook-up with strangers; Facebook for college [...]

I was just offended by the acting …

All morning/afternoon, people in my office were watching and talking about the new Hilary Clinton/Sopranos spoof ad (which was infinitely preferable to the office talk yesterday, which mostly consisted of, “Gonna be a hot one today, isn’t it?” and “My, is it hot out there!”) Being neither a Hilary Clinton nor a Sorprano’s fan myself [...]
Lybrel more of a marketing tactic than a novel idea (pills without periods not exactly new)

ABC News:As 21st century women dominate the universities and continue to climb the executive ladder, and metro-sexual men explore their feminine side, it’s harder to define what it means to be a woman
In the mildly frustrating category of the week … why is everyone so up in arms about this “new” birth control that allows [...]
porn, choices and hippie philosophy books

I’m a bad blogger, because I’m always so late to the game responding to anything going on. But that’s okay, because the people who read this are mostly my friends who don’t read a lot of other blogs (which is neat, because then they actually think I have something novel to say!), or the 20-or-so [...]

It’s all very Slushie Dog Theory (it’s a picture of a dog on a cup holding a cup with a picture of a dog on a cup holding a cup with a picture of …. ): linking to bloggers blogging about linking to bloggers who have blogged about links to bloggers ….. But anyway, I [...]
Ann Coulter is a crazy bitch
Posted in Blogging Bandwagon, Pop Culture, Republicans, Stupid Media Frenzy..., What the Fuck? on March 6, 2007 | 6 Comments »
The great folks at Slate wrote an interesting article about batshit crazy conservative pin-up Ann Coulter today, mostly in response to her latest hoof-in-mouth gaffe, wherein she called John Edwards a faggot. The Slate article proffered a collection of choice Coulter quotes from over the years, and I looked up a few more. Remember, if [...]
All things considered, I still plan to treat it like gospel when it proves me right.

Wikipedia’s articles are crap 99% of the time. 99.8% to be exact. Although that figure could be wrong; I got it from Wikipedia.
They have done an audit of the 1,638,011 articles on Wikipedia.org and determined that, of that total, only 1,300 articles are good enough to be considered ‘featured articles’ and 1,700 fit into their [...]
snickers, beulah land and how we’re all spoiled tech brats

There’s a New York Times article today covering the controversy over the Snickers ad that aired during the Super Bowl. The ad featured two men sharing a snickers bar a la Lady and the Tramp who accidentally end up locking lips and, disgusted, immediately begin doing “manly” things, such as pulling out their chest hair, [...]
Barry Obama, everyman
Posted in 80s, Blogging Bandwagon, Democrats on January 31, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I feel like Barack Obama is getting enough coverage on his own, to the extent that I was trying to not to blog about him, but I can’t resist the crazy lapels of the late 1970s.
Obama is all over the place, so it’s no surprise that people who knew him back in the day are [...]

I read about iLike about a month ago and didn’t post about it. Well now it’s getting mass press and I feel like whoring it out as one of the first (or first thousand) bloggers to talk about it. It’s a free social-network of sorts. My favorite part is the iTunes plug-in that tells you [...]

The folks at the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, whose whole deal is fear mongering from what I can find, are planning to up the paranoia ante in a couple of days. That’s when they will move forward the hands of the doomsday clock. Since 1947, this analog clock is continually poised within a few entirely [...]
why not start off a blog by jumping on the commentary bandwagon?
Posted in Blogging Bandwagon, Democrats, Libertarians on December 12, 2006 | 3 Comments »
At the risk of further contributing to a debate I’ve recently come to hate, I can’t help but muse on the whole recent “liberaltarian” conundrum. It’s an issue I feel like I’ve been reading incessantly about since David Boaz at Cato published “The Libertarian Vote” in October, and with Brink Lindsey’s coining of a term, [...]
