Montel goes off-script on a fluff interview segment on Fox ostensibly about the death of Heath Ledger. Montel decides to talk about the lack of war coverage instead.
No offense to Ledger and family, of course; he was a talented actor. But the criticism of the infotainment industry’s tendency to cover such [...]
Picnik is a web-based photo-editing application. It powers the photo editing features in Flickr. I’ve been stressed out that a lot of my snapshots are too dark. And I’ve been bothering all my graphic designer friends for their best Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) tricks for making things better. But I decided [...]
This is the best of those web-based, political belief sorters I’ve found: electoralcompass.com. It asks enough questions to get a decent answer, plots you and the candidates on a Cartesian plane, and has full explanations of where you and the candidate agree and differ (with sources to back it up). Hat tip: [...]
Since SC is a very red state, the Democratic Primary is usually the only place where I feel my vote matters much. I’ve liked Obama for a while now. There’s not a lot of difference, policy-wise, between Obama and Hillary, even on the subject of Iraq, which is often portrayed as a key [...]
Since I only recently upgraded to a Flickr pro account, I hadn’t made much use of sets. You only get three of them with the free account (and there are other limits as well), so I just used tags instead. But sets are handy, especially for people who don’t grok the tag concept, [...]
I’ve been a father for less than two weeks and everything is a blur. As I’m typing this, Haden is asleep in my lap. He’s on a three-hour feeding schedule, so I’ve gotten used to doing what little productive work I do in smaller blocks of time. I think I can manage [...]
He’s here! Mini-Wheat has arrived! Here are the vital statistics:
Weight: 7 lbs., 15 oz.
Length: 20 inches
Time of birth: 7:41 AM
He has lots of strawberry blond hair! And he is in all ways perfect, of course. Gina is recovering nicely. I’ve added a few pix [...]
I edited the previous post, but for the benefit of those of you who follow via RSS, the timeline has changed. Mini-Wheat will be here tomorrow (1/9/08). We’re going in a 6:00 AM. The fireworks begin shortly after. I’ll post pics and other details when I get a chance.
Okay, it’s really an Expected Date of Arrival, but I don’t know of anyone abbreviates that. Gina’s doctors plan to induce pregnancy labor on the 11th. I’m not going to be live-blogging the entire event. But I will post updates and pics as time permits. So this is my last baby-free [...]
I always end up watching a bunch of movies over the holiday break. This year was no different. The following are definitely worth your time:
A few years ago, after seeing his abysmal film, Spider, and having previously been burned by Crash (not to be with Crash), I had entirely given up on David [...]
