Politics, celebrity gossip, business headlines, tech punditry, odd news, and user-generated content. These are the chew toys that have made me sad and tired and cynical. Each, in its own way, contributes to the imperative that we constantly expand our portfolio of shallow but strongly-held opinions about nearly everything. Then we’re supposed to post something about it. Somewhere. From businesses we’ve never heard of, to countries we’ve never visited, to infants who’ve had the random ...

I spend a fair amount of my time debunking misconceptions about Google. So when I found out that Google Chrome was going to be released, I put on my thinking cap about what objections people would throw out about Google Chrome. Here are the questions that I came up with, along with my personal answers. I want to stress that this is my personal blog, so even though I believe all of this is accurate, ...

Sometimes the most mundane things suddenly tickle your fancy. This is what happened to us and the iron gates that bar the doors of houses and apartment buildings in San Francisco. One day we were walking in our neighborhood when we were struck by the variety and designs of these security gates.Some of them are geometric in design. Others are swirly and elegant. And some are even whimsical and one-of-a-kind. Related Posts: • Look!: Iron ...

As someone living in this modern world, a world that requires a certain amount of circumspection regarding the strangers we choose and choose not to engage with on our sidewalks, I sometimes find myself caught in a struggle between my plucky sense of fairness (which believes everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt), and my wily sense of self preservation (which believes the lurching man with the clawfoot and the exposed underbelly deserves a wide ...

We often find ourselves needing space for items that are essential but seldom used. Our stepladder and ironing board are definitely two of these - we don't need to access light fixtures or high cabinets very often, and work from home so have a pretty iron-free wardrobe. When we saw this ladder/ironing board combo at Tiny Living we were pretty stoked. Combining the two functions means one thing to store instead of two, and while ...

Oh shit. You know that potential DHHS rule that pro-choice organizations and feminists have been going on about for a month now? The one that says organizations which receive government funding cannot discriminate against those who choose to exercise their “conscience” on matters of abortion — and redefines “abortion” to cover hormonal contraception? Well, yesterday the Bush Administration officially proposed the rule. (emphasis mine) Leavitt said the regulation was intended to protect practitioners who have ...

Do you ever wonder why so many people automatically reach for a beer to go with African, Asian, or Caribbean foods? Answer: Beer is refreshing, and does not clash with the many feisty, fiery flavors of chilies, herbs and spices that are the signature of these many and varied cuisines. Pairing wine with hot and spicy foods can be extremely daunting, not least because of the many layers of flavors and ingredients involved, but also ...

Andy Somora and Anna Pastuszwska's July 19th wedding started out as a fancy affair. They were married on the beach in Lakeside, Michigan and their reception was held at a nearby art gallery. It was also going smoothly until the booze came out. That'll do it! Their guests started drinking like Wino at happy hour. It got so out of control that one guest even threw a metal lamp through a glass window. That's when ...

…. the piece that finds my privacy and harassment issues so hilarious as to write, “In a goodbye post on Wikipedia, Burch uploaded one of the police reports, which shows Blue’s home address, cell phone digits, driver’s license number, and — every woman’s nightmare — her weight.” Yes, the pithy vanity of a woman’s restraining order request — my weight, my ass.

There is this awful hippie restaurant here in the bay area called Cafe Gratitude, where every last raw, vegan item on the menu has an unforgivably self-affirming name, like “I Am Fulfilled” and “I Am Dazzling.” And when you order these dishes, you’re not allowed to just say, “I’ll have the kale.” They actually make you say it: “I’ll have the ‘I am Giving.’” And then the waiter turns it back on you, affirming that ...

Jennifer Peebles is right to credit Glenn Reynolds for his major role in inspiring Tennessee’s active and ample blogosphere, but I think the original NashvilleIsTalking site is a big reason why our blogosphere is as connected as it is: Welcome to the Tennessee political blogosphere: where citizen journalists, amateur pundits and wiseacres with broadband access endlessly type and snipe. It’s a well established, highly organized and highly readable subculture with a devoted following among political ...
