Later
Bill Ziff for years insisted that highly informative ads in trade publications met that description. But in too may other situations, Chris's rules apply. Count me in  Glenn asks who will be there for his pal's show in NY in July. The Spring of our dissed content Paul Boutin is quoted in Factual Error Found on Internet, in The Onion:
Says here South Sister is developing a "bulge." Last volcano to do that in the Lower 48 was Mt. St. Helens, not far away. Thanks to Ft. Boise for the link. Another one bites the fruit Eric Norlin wants something hard and sexy for his birthday. (Sorry, big guy. Couldn't resist.) We may have to start saying nice things about lawyers After reading what I wrote yesterday, Ernest Miller at LawMeme did a much better job of defending Larry Lessig against William Adkinson. FreeLunker? Brent has an idea for an app: The Hidden World of Unix. Between Linux and OS X alone, we need one (hell, I need one). He's looking for a shorter name. I suggest the headline above. See if you can figure the derivation. Not grow fast up? J.D. in OJR sez AOL Time Warner: Time to Grow Up, Fast. Frog eat frog Yesterday morning we checked on our seven tadpoles and were delighted to discover that the littlest one had suddenly turned into a beautiful little emerald green frog with bright yellow markings. But when we checked on them in the evening, the frog was gone, and the largest of the other tadpoles was twice its former width and swimming around upside down, struggling to stay alive. I don't know how, but I'm sure it ate the little frog. The evidence was kinda hard to deny. So I've been explaining the food chain to a five-year old who isn't quick to understand. "I thought they only ate boiled lettuce," he said. "Not each other." "That's what I thought too," I said, proving what the kid will learn many more times before he grows up: that the old man doesn't know everything. [Later...] Since we'll be gone for a week and there won't be anyone here to feed them, we decided to return the six surviving tadpoles to the stream where we caught them a month ago. As we walked away, my little boy said "Bye, tadpoles. I love you." But what if their head is stuffed where I can't smack it? Saltire: If EMI Records wants to pay Mariah Carey $28 million NOT to make another album, then that's their prerogative. Something tells me the invisible hand of the market will eventually give them a smack upside the head. But don't use their folly as an excuse to cry foul and hoist the Jolly Roger. In the end you're only stealing from the artists you purport to care about so much in the first place. Read and creep Dave points to Wes pointing to an Intel-AOL Joint Statement that expresses a complete sell-out by Intel to AOL and the entertainment industry. I pointed to the same thing on March 30, when I found that same statement had been submitted (in .pdf form) as a response to the Judiary Committee's request for "progress reports." There are other reports from industry types. They're all creepy. I suggest reading them. And I'll repeat my summary translation of their joint message to Congress:
