Hoping the answers are obvious... 
| | Okay, I got two problems here, which I'm sure just involve settings of some kind at my end. |
| | The main one is this: lately when I save the blog in my Radio outiner, it tries to save but eventually says "Can't read stream because the TCP connection was closed unexpectedly." The connection is fine. I gotta feeling it's something at my end. Ideas? |
| | The other has to do with my Skywave blog, which has languished while I've put off trying to figure out how to get back in and edit the thing. I kinda lost touch with it when I switched computers. |
Amen, sister
| | Jennifer Balderama in A Question of Maturity: You might be gay or straight, white or black, a CEO or a starving artist, but in the end, no matter who you are, you all like to gather in the late afternoon for a beer or a cup of coffee and watch the World Cup. |
| | Or, if you're in California, somewhere between 1:00 and 5:00am. |
On the continuing death of Osama bin Laden
| | Arab News says he's dead, but rather speculatively. This MSNBC exclusive (which I read first in the print version of Newsweek) suggests the same thing, with different kinds of details. Several months ago I was guessing out loud that the guy was dead, but I can't find the post now. Not that it matters. |
| | Now we have a new problem: no human personification of Evil around which we can continue to rally the War on Terrorism. Saddam Hussein? He's been too quiet. Smart non-move on his part. |
| | We might still be able to keep the war up without a singular antagonist; but only if we shift the focus to something just as malevolent and nearly as tangible. Eric Raymond has one candidate, but it's politically steep. |
| | Okay, that meets my monthly limit on the War Thing. (If you want more, check out what I wrote here and here.) Carry on, the rest of ya'll. |
Beating the dwarf, the dictator, the gunslinger and the best flat-picker who ever lived.
| | Somebody pointed out that this very blog has finally edged the Department of Commerce out of the #1 "doc" position on Google. That's #1 out of 24,700,000 documents. Scary. |
| | My favorite Doc, however, is Watson. A living treasure. Seen him perform more times than I can count, but none since I moved from NC to CA in the mid-80s. Gotta fix that. |
It was all a blur
| | Went to Soho, a terrific local club here in Santa Barbara, and enjoyed the hell out of the Soul City Survivors. The only bummer: I lost my glasses there. Not sure how. I put them in one of my pants pockets then piled both my own cell phone and my wife's inthe same pockets. They survived, but my glasses didn't. I'm sure they're still in there some somewhere. Luckily I've got a spare, but I liked the lost ones a lot better. |
| | [Later...] Just called Costco, where I got them about a year ago. They can replace them, even with the same frames, but I have to come in and pay for them first. Pain in the ass. I'll go over there later today, but I'm afraid, since I almost never leave Costco without spending a bunch of money on stuff I never thought I'd need before I got there... like, say, a reverse osmosis water cleaner, eight cases of bottled water, three flats of strawberries the size of softballs and two refrigerators strapped to a skid. I'll get out to the car and think: didn't I just come here for some batteries? |
