One of the side detriments of being estranged from family members is crafting false perceptions about your ancestry based on hearsay. Evidently, I've been living under the delusion that I was Irish my whole life. Now this may not seem particularly...

Many folks are already familiar with the Worst Analogies Ever Written in a High School Essay contest that was hosted by the Washington Post Style Invitational a few years ago. I love that list of analogies. I read...
Via smijer comes a continuation of the consistency debate (which includes a great chart!).A lot of people who favor forced childbirth for pregnant women say that they believe that an abortion, even early in pregnancy, is identical to child murder....
I've likely mentioned this before, but Mesh & Julian finally got me to read some Martin Amis, and I've been working my way through Koba The Dread: Laughter and the Twenty Million, a novel about Stalin and the twenty million...

Dear Supporters, I've just returned from a trip to Nashville. My wife Dinah and I chaperoned the Notre Dame High Young Democrats with teacher Candy Corneliussen. I am delighted to tell you that we met with the state party chair and...
There is a chance that in the next few weeks, the G.O.P. will walk off a cliff on the subject of immigration. In the desperate effort to win back their base, Republican senators may follow Bill Frist and embrace a...
Universial Studios is going to start offering direct movie downloads on April 15. I'm not sure exactly what format they're imposing - it won't be good, whatever it is - but playback on both desktop/laptops and portable devices will...
Being continuously accessible through electronic devices makes you inaccessible to the people standing next to you. "Your world turns into a never-ending cocktail party where you're always looking over your virtual shoulder for a better conversation partner. The anxiety...
I may be completely out to lunch, but I think Imaginary Forces released a new website in the last few months. I'm not certain because during my hard-drive failure I hadn't reconnected Flock into my Del.icio.us bookmarks, so I haven't...
For those of you who have smallish children and are on the lookout for music to play in the car that will both keep them happy and keep you from turning to the demon liquor, I suggest looking into a...
Everytime I think of Phoenix, I think of driving into DC for the first time, listening to "Too Young" a few years back. Anyway, new record - It's Never Been Like That - released May 15 in the states. Download Long Distance...

So Monday, I was supposed to guest-DJ on CFAR on The Supper Club. The station was off the air that day and we did the show yesterday. I'm not sure how many people were listening, but here's my playlist: 1. The Features -...
Compared to the previous experiences of Great and Holy Lent (2003, 2004, and 2005), this one is the most painful, and, I would easily guess, will be potentially the most profitable for me and my household when it has passed....
I think I'm done with rev 1 of the new site! It only took about 8 total hours of work over a 36-hour period. So, after some QA and bug testing, I'll be ready to roll it live...
Again, while I was stumbling around the net, I re-found a very interesting site dedicated to the collection of atlases of maps and graphic representations of the topographies of the cyberterritories of the Internet and other Cyberterrains. Now, there's another site...
