I am tapped out tonight, and can’t think of a whole lot to say. I did spend some time over at Hyper-Textual Ontology talking with Robn about the Edwards blogger snafu. Then, as I was continuing to make my blog rounds, I noticed that Mark at Educational Technology and Life has a post on the […]
The Senate held a rare Saturday session today to attempt to vote on the same to-the-point non-binding resolution opposing the escalation in Iraq that the House passed yesterday. They were four votes shy of the 60 they needed to invoke cloture and move to a final vote. Now, since we’re talking about something non-binding anyway, […]
I was reading a few newspapers today with reviews of the new Bridge to Terebithia movie. The reviews appear to be overwhelmingly positive, but there is no way you are getting me within ten feet of that movie even if you’re armed with a cattle prod and an offer of free cheesesteaks for life. Spoiler […]
Wow, this is neat news. Keith Olbermann has not only re-upped to keep doing his Countdown show at MSNBC, he’s going to be contributing essays to the NBC Nightly News and doing two prime time NBC specials a year. I wonder if those essays for the network news will be along the lines of his […]
Over at his own blog, Not News contributor Earl Green has a post breaking down one of his video editing do it yourself experiments. Earl’s been doing TV editing and postproduction work for years now, but he recently managed to acquire some solid equipment for himself. It’s been a lot of fun for me to […]
I’ve noticed more and more TV weather forecasters in the Philly area have been starting blogs on their station web sites, going behind the scenes on the various computer models and factors that influence their forecasts. I admit I have a hard time understanding some of the technical details, but it kind of surprises me […]
In the intersts of disclosure, and in the interest of having something interesting to say tonight, I figured I’d mention that I just made a (very small) contribution to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. So I guess I’ve hopped off the fence. I’m a little surprised about that, to be honest. As much as I respect […]
Tonight when we got home my daughter wanted pizza. (The homemade pizzas have been a big hit.) This time around the crust took a lot of work, and I wound up getting so wrapped up in the process that I forgot to get her to put on the sauce and cheese. When the pizza got […]
The train stations these days are plastered with posters for Tyler Perry’s upcoming movie Daddy’s Little Girls. What I found interesting were the first two lines of the promo copy: She needs a good man. He wants a smart woman. Now, maybe this is me overthinking things. Wouldn’t be the first time. But look at […]
I refuse to believe that I am the only absent-minded traveler out there, but that’s what the clothing stores are telling me. I have a bad habit of losing track of my hat and/or gloves when I’m getting off of a train. I bought a replacement set a few weeks ago, on clearance, at a […]
