A group of protestors pay homage to Sammy Hagar by actuallly driving the speed limit around Atlanta’s betlway. Naturally, havoc ensues.

How is it possible that someone like John Dvorak has been writing a nationally-published computer column for decades when he produces such totally indefensible intellectual fluff?
Will Apple Adopt Windows?
Bigger companies than Apple have dropped their proprietary OSs in favor of Windows—think IBM and OS/2. IBM also jumped on the Linux bandwagon over its own AIX [...]

Not that anyone’s surprised, but there’s another major e-mail faux pas making the rounds. (Hm. I originally typed “e-mal” by mistake - perhaps a better term for this.) Again, not that anyone’s surprised, but this one comes from a recent Boston-area law school grad tanking her job interview. Here’s the [...]

There is something fundamentally wrong with your view of God if you think He wants people to die because of a cartoon.
Speak out? Fine. Protest? Fine. Threaten death or actually kill people? Better re-examine whether or not you’re a true follow of a “faith of peace.”
UPDATE: Comments are not [...]

Capitol Police have apologized for ejecting Cindy Sheehan and, um, Mrs. Young - did she keep her first name when she got married, or is that where C.W. “Bill” Young got the extra one from? I never saw it reported - from the STFU SOTU address this week.

Samuel ALito was confirmed today to replace Sandar Day O’Connor as an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. The 58 - 42 vote was almost pureply a party-line vote, with Republican Senator Chafee the only GOP “No” vote and Democratic Senators Byrd, Conrad, Johnson, and Nelson (Nebraska) voting yes.
It was the most partisan [...]

Recall my post the other day about “ink by the barrel“?
That post was more prescient than my football picks. Tiff’s story got picked up by the Consumerist, Instapundit, and Doc Searls.
She’s gotten more eyeballs in three days than I’ve gotten total since I started blogging more than six years ago. And 90% of [...]

There’s an old saying, Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel. I don’t know the original author, but it sounds like Mark Twain to me.
Now imagine that the ink-buyers in question are a pack of howling-mad bloggers. Their ink is free, you see. They can just keep [...]

It seems that the celebration of an important and historic American figure brings out the weirdest of howl-at-the-moon tendencies in Democrats. On the one hand, we’ve got New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, who claimed that the hurricanes were God’s way of punishing America and blacks in particular. Moving seamlessly from his Pat Robertson [...]

Some Cal-Tech student set a new world record for solving the Rubik’s Cube - 11.13 seconds.
Here’s the AP headline:
Rubik’s world record: 3 cubed plus 2.13 seconds

Three cubed? That’s 27. Three squared would be nine… plus 2.13 seconds getting you to the 11.13.
An impressive feat for new record holder Leyan Lo, [...]
