Wow. Check out this robocall that the Dennis “The Buck Stops Here” Hastert campaign put out last night to “take responsibility”. That’s “take responsibility” as in “I take full responsibility for placing blame for a Republican congressman trying to engage in underage sex with teenage boys at the feet of Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton”.…

I downloaded and installed Firefox 2 RC1 last night, and on the balance I’m really impressed. The memory handling seems (so far) to be vastly improved over Firefox 1.x (I’ve had to kill the app pretty much once/day because of memory leaks). The UI is much more visually appealing, and they appear to have done…

Last month, I wrote about Bill’s observations about home sales, and the fact that he believed, based on search activity in…

Austin Mayor: “Maybe instead of gutting our Constitution in exchange for a diaphanous sense of security, Americans should remember to lift with their legs.“

Just saw the commercial for The Departed, a new Martin Scorsese film starring Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Wahlberg. Two predictions: it will be spectacular, and Scorsese will again fail to win an Oscar.

First off, many thanks to Joshua – not sure of your last name, but you listed me as your TiVo referral and that earned me some points towards a toy from TiVo. To Joshua, my hat’s off to you. If you haven’t experienced the joys of TiVo, let me again strongly recommend one. Their most…
