Whassup 
| | ...with Google searches that yield results that don't link straight to an entry, but get you this kind of thing if you right-click to Copy Link Location? |
| | When you mouse over the result link, you seel the actual link in the bar at the bottom of the browser window, but when you copy the link, you get this bolus of a link. |
| | Am I the only one getting this kind of jive? |
| | [Later...] Thanks to readers telling me this is how Google and others lay snow for us to track through, so steps can be re-traced. The problem for me is that I'd often rather right-click and copy a link to a location than go there and copy the link out of the location bar. You can get out of this by de-personalizing your Google page back to the "classic" google.com. Which I've done. |
Lagging at Logan
| | I'm at Logan Airport in Boston, where my flight to Chicago (en route to San Francisco) will likely be delayed by heavy weather in that region. Specifically, |
| | Tornadoes, large hail, and high winds are all in play as the first group of storms rumbles through the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes this evening. Late tonight, damaging winds will be the primary threat as the cluster slides through Ohio. Locally heavy rainfall of 1-3 additional inches, on top of the 1-4 inches of rain that had fallen from southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois to Michigan and Ohio early Wednesday, could trigger local flash flooding. |
| | This means there's a chance I'll miss my connection to San Francisco and have to catch an early flight tomorrow for SFO and Bloggercon. |
| | If that's the case, here's hoping the outbound flight will be delayed as well. That happens, sometimes. |
| | [Later...] From Chicago... made it... headed now to SF. See ya Bloggerconnies in the morjing. |
Attention to Intention
Quote du jour
| | Jamie Lewis: How can we make incent the world we want rather than regulate the world we fear? |
Congrats to Miami
| | for a terrific game. The Heat were hard not to like. Dwayne Wade is, as Dallas coach Avery Johnson acknowledged, one of the rare players who simply can't be defended when he is determined to score. But as Bill Simmons also says, it's not good for a team game when one player consistently beats five. Especially when that one guy beats the best five-man teams in the league. That's what happened when Miami beat Detroit and Dallas. |
| | I've also got to acknowledge the stellar defense of Udonis Haslem on Dirk Nowitski. That, as much as Dwayne's scoring, contributed to Miami's win. Before Udonis, Dirk was nearly as unstoppable as Dwayne. But Udonis got way under Dirk's skin. On the one hand, it made Dallas show off their multi-option offense. On the other hand, it worked out in the end as a winning strategy. At the end of last night's game, the Mavs were low on gas. |
| | And yet it was still close. If Jason Terry's shot at the end had gone in, the game probably would have gone into overtime. Then... who knows. |
| | But it doesn't matter. Miami won. My kid, the Heat fan, is happy. And I'm happy that he's happy. |
