As part of the effort to cull the backlog, I’ve been bringing some of DC’s Archive hardcovers with me on the bus. I’ve read two volumes of Legion of Super-Heroes from the early 1970s, and an early volume of Batman from the early 40s. The interesting thing about the Legion Archives is that there are […]
There are so many topics running around in my head, and I’m staring at my screen trying to put together a coherent thought on any of them. Part of that’s fatigue, and part of that is watching the online train wreck that is the kerfluffle over John Edwards’ campaign bloggers. I’m waiting to see how […]
Having just refreshed the playlist on my non-iPod music player, which can not play any of the music I’ve bought from iTunes, I was happy to see Steve Jobs say he’d just as soon not have anything to do with the whole Digital Rights Management thing.

So the Democratic primary in May is probably for all the marbles. Now, due in part to our last mayoral election involving an eavesdropping device […]
I’m going to punt a little bit with tonight’s entry, and provide a couple of links that I think make for an interesting contrast. Here’s the Library of Congress page on the Bill of Rights. You can even check out the two proposed amendments that were rejected (at least initially). And here’s the United Nations […]
