– Oh those judges! Such a way with words! From an opinion by a Pennsylvania Supreme Court judge, Justice J. Michael Eakin, who’s ”known for occasionally distributing justice via poetry,” as the Wall Street Journal puts it. (via officialssay)

Don't take away my Tumblr!

Don’t put up a Firewall, When we can have it all! ;) Nice contribution to the Stop SOPA effort from @LeahRKauffman While you’re at it, let your Congressional Rep know how you really feel. Maybe you could even sing this song into their voicemail ;)

News Redux

And now Woo Themes has turned Rutledge’s “redesign” into a WordPress theme. Guess it’s ok for people who don’t necessarily need to be running banner ads. Tis very pretty…. dannydb: Web designer Andy Rutledge tackled a section front from NYTimes.com for his series of “redux” redesign exercises. The Internet had some thoughts about this. Read More

Well that explains a lot

Recently rewatched Gosford Park after at least a decade (thank you Netflix!) and was struck by the similarities to Downton Abbey’s “upstairs / downstairs” themes, and Maggie Smith appearances. ;) Guess really should not have been surprised, as they were apparently both written by Julian Fellowes. All makes sense now. ;)

Sad but true; totally needed this primer

Probably trying to watch them on bad VCD’s in China didn’t help my appreciation of the already disappointing pre-quels to the childhood “genius” trilogy of original Star Wars films… So have to say, haven’t really followed the Clone Wars…. Don’t even have kids to use as excuse, but found this very helpful! ;)

I'm sure I looked something like this too....

And if I’d known how to say “WTF?!?!?!” I would have screamed it.

Emptyage: Generation X Doesn't Want to Hear It →

OH Touche! I guess this out’s me, huh? ;) Earlier generations have weathered recessions, of course; this stall we’re in has the look of something nastier. Social Security and Medicare are going to be diminished, at best. Hours worked are up even as hiring staggers along: Blood from a stone looks to be the normal order of things “going…

Ah, the old days. Wonder if Boing Boing had this in the can, at the ready? Pretty nicely done.

I am officially bummed...and lame...

For not being able to attend the Erasure concert tonight at the Fox Theater. At least I can take comfort in the fact that I’ve seen them twice before…”back in the day”. Hmm..perhaps it’s time to dig out some of those photos….. It is nice to see Alice 97.3 completely nerding out over them though. Awwww….Which makes me even sadder not to be going, since I...

Time to watch some Firefly!

Almost any day is a good day to watch some Firefly, but today is apparently especially special because it’s Firefly’s 9th birthday. Watch, and try not to think about what could have been. It’s sad enough as it is.

Now I want to take tango!

What an awesome story. I knew I should have gotten into the salsa or tango scene. Dang it. Still got that dream to do Flamenco too.

As Mark Morford said in a tweet....

And the NYT’s Timothy Egan points out that prayer hasn’t really been working for Texas, but the feds have been ;) “Over the last 15 years, taxpayers have shelled out $232 million in farm subsidies to Haskell County, which includes Paint Creek — a handout to more than 2,500 recipients, better than one out every three residents.
