Dave Matthews’s environmental crapfest
It really gets my goat when people who don’t believe in science — e.g., Fox News — make fun of Al Gore and call him a hypocrite for flying around the world giving his presentations on climate change. That’s one guy flying commercial airlines that were headed that way anyway, and when he gets […]

GOP debate: will my health care be better than my cellphone?
I’ve already ranted about the pathetic state of American mobile telephony. Even with the even-cheaper iPhone and the ability to hack it to networks other than AT&T (hint: you shouldn’t have to hack your products), the “free market forces” in which Republicans seem to have more faith than in Jesus have made us the […]

Log Closet
One thing I haven’t seen much discussion about (nary a mention on DailyKos) regarding Sen.

It ain’t pocket rocket science
Well it seems that scores of DragonConners are back at home and returning to the daily grind — or at least, showing up near the daily grind, and then procrastinating the return to the work week by Googling for coverage of their weekend adventures.

DragonCon 2007
Click To Play
This weekend is Dragon*Con in Atlanta, and I met up with some drinkin’ friends at the Hyatt to play Weird Sighting Bingo (well, they played, I just filmed). Stormtroopers, zombies, big weapons and lots of cleavage, as always.
