  It’s going to be a long two months waiting for the iPad to actually ship so that all the tech bloggers and their hangers-on will stop writing so much speculative bullshit about iT and turn their attention iNstead to some other thing that’s going to Change Life As We Know iT. Since you cannot click a [...]

• New Year, Same Old Nonsense
  January 1, 2010 | 4:31 pm

  Please, please, PUH-LEEZE stop talking about “What do we call the last decade?” Nobody could come up with an acceptable choice ten years ago, and nobody’s going to come up with one now. “Aughties” and “Naughties” are contrived and stupid, and so is the very idea that anything wraps up all nice and [...]

  This week Barack Obama committed the United States to at least two more years of war, 30,000 troops in harm’s way for no other reason than saving face, and umpteen billions of dollars wasted FOR NO GOOD REASON WHATSOEVER and we are inundated with: Tiger Woods proving he knows how to put it in the hole GateCrashGate Meredith [...]

• Follow-Up: Mad-Lib Blogging
  December 2, 2009 | 9:40 am

  Nowhere near enough responses to fill in all the blanks on the Mad-Lib Post game, so I guess we’ll chalk it up as a loss and try it again some other time. Maybe I’ll try it on Facebook instead.

• Follow-Up: Good Without God

  Thanks to Shelley for alerting me that last night’s edition of the local TV newsmagzine “Chronicle” featured Harvard Humanist Chaplain Greg Epstein, whom I blogged about recently in conjunction with the various atheist billboard campaigns around the country. I was busy helping Charlotte do her homework, so I didn’t watch the show, but WCVB’s [...]

• Six Minute Egg
  October 28, 2009 | 9:56 am

  Update to yesterday’s post about boiled eggs: The picture at the top is what I got by boiling two eggs in 180-degree-ish water for 6 minutes. Sorry for the so-so photo, I only had my cell phone handy. The eggs were indeed nicely done. The cooked ring of egg white was consistent in its thickness [...]

• The Inevitable Update
  October 20, 2009 | 12:03 pm

  Bridget’s mother called yesterday to say that she’d taken Barkley to be put down. When we saw him over Columbus Day weekend, he was noticeably thinner and having trouble breathing. It was a bit of a spot decision by my mother-in-law, but she felt the time had come. I’m glad she came [...]

  Why, yes, I *did* make some “cosmetic enhancements”, thank you for noticing. Do you like them?
