About the catastrophe in Japan. As I mentioned before Ash Wednesday, I plan to stay offline on the Fridays of Lent, and so I didn't hear much about this yesterday. Checking in this morning, it seems things are worse with that one nuclear reactor where the backup generators were flooded. May God be with and…

This looks good: what a great bunch of guitar players…though I'm not so sure about the material. This is sad; no one who's seen The Wire can forget Snoop. This is good to know, if you're a Chrome user (which I am). This is funny, and probably won't be seen by the people who could most…

Who shall deliver my soul from the words of men?… Harken ye loud and presumptuous ones, wind-strewn children of your own caprice: We are parched beside your well-springs, we are starved by the meat you offer us, we have grown blind by the light of your lamps. You are like a road that leads nowhither,…

I received this unpleasant-looking object in the mail at work a few days ago. It's supposed to make me want to buy stuff from HP (Hewlett-Packard). In fact I do buy stuff from them, and have always respected their engineering, but this certainly did nothing to encourage me. It's about the size of a large…

Seen on Facebook: "I watched the news last night (Stewart, Colbert)…"
