My horoscope for today must have read, “Transportation will be a headache.” Both Lincolnland Express and Enterprise rent-a-car (but don’t actually use it) managed to make my life difficult. I suppose I could blame United also, for canceling the flight I was on standby for due to being delivered late by afore-mentioned (and multiply-cursed) Lincolndland […]

From the CDT newsletter I received a while back:
Legislation is pending in the U.S. House of Representatives to expand the USA PATRIOT Act - and there are reports that it will get slipped into an intelligence agency bill that is debated and voted on behind closed doors. Urge your Representative to oppose this bill, […]

Fishkite links to a NYTimes article (damn their registration!) that collects some of the profound insights that Moore has made in the past. Some excerpts from the article:
“[Americans] are possibly the dumbest people on the planet . . . in thrall to conniving, thieving smug [pieces of the human anatomy],” Moore intoned. “We Americans suffer […]

While exploring links in Fishkite’s latest post, I encountered this statement, in the context of a 2nd amendment discussion:
“I am also a firm believer that the United States Constitution has the final say on the laws in this country. No, it’s not a living breathing document that changes over time. It’s a set of rules […]

The Wilson Quarterly has a new essay attempting to answer the question of how the U.S. moved from the greatest proponent of international law after WWII to its contemporary unilaterialism. Jed Rubenfeld posits that the Cold War masked a fundamental divide in European and American perceptions of World War II:

“From the start, the postwar boom […]

While browsing Lessig’s Blog, I came across the page of a film-in-the-works about American soldiers in Iraq. Michael Tucker ‘embedded’ himself with Marines in Baghdad, and came away with a bunch of interesting stories. The synopsis on the page itself offers interesting reading, and there are two short movie clips, including one of a guy […]

My $800 deposit should arrive at George Washington University School of Law today, so that pretty much settles my future for the next three years.
Yeah, right.
I still have to find an apartment, finish my thesis, decide if I’m going to work (if so, where?), sell my car? and move.
Why am I even […]

From Plastic’s quick links:

Feeling a bit drowsy? Here is a 3.5 Meg video clip that will wake you up. - MonkeyBoy

Works best if you turn up your volume. Leave me a comment and let me know if it worked for you.

I just installed Gallery 1.4.2 on this site and it’s really awesome. I can upload pictures, add captions, organize them into photo albums, and even click to purchase prints all from a web interface. Check out my first gallery! I can also add accounts for other people who would like galleries and photo albums of […]

I somehow stumbled upon DxF’s Gurus v Bloggers where the top interface gurus in the world have their websites compared to some great bloggers out there.
Now I want to redesign my just-redesigned site. Some of the sites in that contest are so original, beautiful, and functional that I feel green-monster jealousy just looking at […]
