Commentary

Flock.: I just downloaded the public beta of the Flock browser for Mac OS X. I'm quite impressed. It's based entirely off the Firefox code base, so a lot will be familiar to Firefox users. The Flock developers have drastically revamped...
lol.: It's amazing (and disconcerting) how word meanings are so drastically affected by first impressions.
After the Beep.: I eagerly await the day when I may leave a voice mail message on a cell phone that is not preceded by 5-10 seconds of superfluous explanation.
Pandora.: I've been tinkering with Pandora the last couple of days, and I am genuinely impressed. For the uninitiated, Pandora is an online streaming music service that suggests additional music based off your initial suggestions and your opinion of what it plays.
The Mythology of Star Wars.: What made--and makes--Star Wars such a unique series of films is none of the things the movie critic examines. Star Wars is foremost a mythology--a new universe, a new world, and a new metaphysics (the Force) with which all relate, both atheist and believer alike. It is bigger than the sum of its parts. And it will continue to make boatloads of cash independent of whether the movies are actually good or not.
Why can't people pick normal usernames?: Here's there one chance to finally NOT get a username with numbers after it -- and they pick it with numbers after it!
Why Daylight? Wherefore Savings?: If we have to move our clocks up an hour, is this the switch where I gain or lose sleep?
Wedding Truths.: 24 hours after the deed is done (no, not that deed) no one cares about any wedding decision other than the most important one.
Sick Day.: You have two options when you call in sick: you lie or you tell the truth.
Edwards Flashback: One of my favorite moments from the past election coverage was NPR’s recap of the Cheney-Edwards VP debate.
Smear, Shmear: Why can't we focus on "real" issues during this presidential campaign? And yet rarely does contemporary political argument rise above the ad hominem character assasinations that both campaigns seems to think is most effective in the ratings tug-of-war.
Bushism Truisms.: Now, Dubya is by no means a public speaker (even in the above quote "we all must always be" is anything but eloquent). His "Bush-isms" are often hilariously funny. But such mis-quotes dilute the power of *actual* Bush-isms and are patently unfair. *Anyone* can create a bush-ism from anyone given enough public speech material, the ability to leave out the context under which things are said, and the ability to choose where the commas and periods go.
Google-eyed: Google-eyed
Baaah.: Baaah. My contribution to the "grab the nearest book" meme.
Of Mice and Men: One of the more overlooked advantages of your generic mouse trap
Beginnings: My blogging days have officially begun, presumably heralding brighter days ahead. Caryse would not fall asleep tonight in her own bed without my presence in her room, so I minimized the brightness of my PowerBook, praised the ineffable beauty of...
