All The Info

Today’s scandal is two fold.
First, Katie Couric has had some work done. Maybe they should label the picture, an Artist’s rendition of Ms. Couric.
What’s better than that is that the New York Post printed the story without any recognition to tvnewser. The beautiful thing about blogs and the Internet in general is that [...]

OK, unless you live under a rock you have probably heard about the Pluto planet controversy. Other than destroying my childhood memories, I really couldn’t care less. What I do like is the results of the Eyewitless News: Save Pluto photoshop contest.

So, my trip out the west coast is over. This was my first trip to California, and I found it very different than I imagined.
The first thing I noticed was the traffic. Everyone always talks about how bad the Southern California traffic is. Personally I thought it was FANTASTIC. If you [...]

I’m not a member of the anti-President Bush club, but I do enjoy good humour.
A canadian college setup this site making fun of Yale’s most famous graduate.

Looks like MS Word is now the authority on how popular a word is. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) wants to use the word ‘pluton’ to describe a planet that isn’t really a planet (or something – like anybody really cares). Appearantly this is an issue because ‘pluton’ already has a meaning to [...]

Well, I haven’t posted anything lately. Off to California tomorrow to see Kara and Joe and I’ve been busier than a one legged man at a butt-kicking contest. Did have a couple posts I wanted to make before I left though.
As I’m getting ready for my trip I’ve been watching the current state [...]

From the let’s-all-be-good-sports department there is this article about a coach for a 9-10 year old baseball team walking a good hitter so a cancer survivor could come to bat. The coach is under fire for allegedly ‘picking’ on this cancer survivor kid.
The kid’s father put it like this

“It made me sick,” [...]

This just keeps getting better and better.
Now the New York Times is getting into the act with this obviously staged photo of a man killed in Tyre during an Israeli attack.
In fact, the Times actually issued a correction stating the man was only injured. Hmmm… looks like he’s doing a pretty good job [...]

OK, this one is for the techies out there. Found a great bash tutorial the other day and thought I’d share it.
It doesn’t have just the standard lame stuff, I actually learned quite a bit. Things like
!xyz:p will print the command that would be executed rather than executing it
and
!$ is the “end” [...]

My Grandmother had her 84th birthday this July. Anyone who knows her will testify that she’s not like any other 84 year old. Until just a few years ago she was still employed full time at the post office. She still would be, but she had some health problems, so now [...]
