wtf? 
| | My phone went from ROAM to EXTENDED AREA to NO SERVICE, and stayed there. It's a Nokia AT&T phone. Weird. |
| | [Later...] Now it just came back, with two bars of signal. Go figure. |
Road noise
| | I watch most of my TV in hotel rooms. It's still a small fraction of what true couch (or bed) potatoes absorb, but enough to inform a few conclusions. Such as... |
| | - Dennis Miller is still funny, even when his politics aren't.
- The loudest things on TV are those Cadillac ads with the obligatory desert speeding footage. Just once I'd like an ad to show what a paint job looks like after a dust storm in Wyoming.
- All shows with laugh tracks aren't funny
- Fox News is only a slight mispronunciation.
- Cruelty is old hat. The new hat is autopsies.
- Clint Eastwood is a fine director but as an actor he's almost as wooden as John Kerry on a good hair day.
- Ben Affleck acts like Clint Eastwood on 'Ludes.
- The best publicist of our time is Michael Moore.
- American Idol is a form of worship.
- Will PBS stations EVER think of a better way to raise money?
- We may have reached the point where the most interesting (as well as the most fair and balanced) thing on the tube is the hotel menu channel.

It wasn't hard
Really Simple Situation
Abort
Fourteen to go
| | In the future everybody will be famous for fifteen people is Dr. Weinberger's corollary to Andy Warhol's most memorable line. |
| | A few minutes ago I was standing in the Apple store in Cambridge, when this nice dude to my right asked me if I was me. Such was the fun of meeting Jeremy Peterson of fakebanana.com. |
The opthamology of hindsight
| | all these matters and more are simply part of a systems project management discipline |
| | He calls IT Garage the perfect forum for mulling over the systems project issues, the choices, the level of planning that we might want to do if faced with this kind of problem in the future. Does anybody else want to discuss the systems management issues Dave was facing a few weeks ago when he brought the weblogs.com service down? |
| | Or, for that matter, when he, Rogers and others brought them back up? One I had concerned broken links and the like, when a blog's domain name changed. Rogers treats that issue here. |
Leaving town:
Trust the rust
| | I am having the time of my life right now. Mostly because of the people I¹ve met through Noded over the last year or two. You people have so much potential, so much passion, so much intellect; you have cut my age in half. I can¹t wait for the next 55 years. |
| | Me too. And next month, I'll turn two months older than Tom. |
Less Moore
| | Andrew Sullivan: This was tedious propaganda. The surprise in the review: No one told me I'd be bored. |
| | Well, plenty of people are telling me Moore's propagandist methods are justified by his target's venality. Any stick you can whup Bush with with is a good stick, basically. |
| | I'd rather talk across the divisions that keep us from talking to each other. Or at least try. |
