Blah blah BLAH blah BLOGS! BLOGS! 05/13/2004 03:13 PM
Y ackity yackity, choo CHOO!, Yackity yackity.....BLOGS! Self proclaimed Blogoholic George Packer, at Mother Jones, shits on blogs everywhere, joins bemused chorus - FOX, journalism grad students, and so on - blathering on blogs. What are they? What do they mean? Quoth Packer : "Blog prose is written in headline form to imitate informal speech, with short emphatic sentences and frequent use of boldface and italics. The entries, sometimes updated hourly, are little spasms of assertion, usually too brief......All of this meta-comment by very bright young men who never leave their rooms is the latest, somewhat debased, manifestation of the old art of political pamphleteering.....if blogs are "a new way of doing politics," there is also something peculiarly stale and tired about them — not the form, but the content......So far this year, bloggers have been remarkably unadept at predicting events.... Above all, they didn't grasp the intensity of feeling among Democratic primary voters — the resentments still glowing hot from Florida 2000, the overwhelming interest in economic and domestic issues, the personal antipathy toward Bush, the resurgence of activism, the longing for a win. The blogosphere was often caught surprised by these passions and the electoral turns they caused." Packer even gets paid for this, plus starring appearances on snooty public radio talk shows! [ Kevin Drum makes an appearance ].....I can excrete lightly digested opinions with the best of them. Where do I apply ?

Blah

Blah 07/16/2004 11:56 AM

Blah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: I just had to post a link to this. "Blah" is a word that I use when I need to test something by printing out a garbage string (I think I got this from Joe). I was making a little widget to query Wikipedia this morning, never thinking they would actually have an entry for it:

Blah is a common word that has some several meanings: a word to express disapproval or uncontentment; a word to express apathy; a metasyntactic variable; Moses Blah, President of Liberia (2003); Blah, blah, blah. See 1931 in music.

Do we need any other proof that Wikipedia is all-powerful? With this post, I think we've become the official "Wikipedia Cheerleading Blog."

USATODAY.com - John Kerry's campaign began airing two TV ads Wednesday that kick off a series of spots that aim to convince voters he's committed to a "stronger" nation. The ads offer a counterpoint to a frequent theme of President Bush's advertising: that the president is a "steady" leader.

Loving and Hating iTunes

Loving and Hating iTunes 12/19/2003 11:54 AM
A new PC World music column explores iTunes and how it changed the world of digital music. Stressing the superiority of iTunes for Windows over many competitors, the article does mention several concerns. One such issue is the way Apple updates iTunes, not as patches, but as complete version upgrades, meaning many-megabyte downloads. Another concern is difficulties moving songs from a work computer to a home computer, and the fact that an iPod cannot be used to do this. The article...

Hating Dick Cheney - Our vice president is so widely hated as being an evil puppeteer, but this seems to be far from the truth. He's really "a frazzled, heart attack survivor who's barely hanging on—to life, his job, his position, his sense of self-esteem."

My first thought after I stopped laughing was c lean-u p... Of course not everyone thinks it's funny.

People have been asking (not really), so I thought I'd let you know that MetaFilter, Megnut, and A Whole Lotta Nothing are down because of a bad computer fan. No ETA as of yet on when the box will be back up. Matt Haughey was unavailable for comment due to laziness on my part, but if he were available, he'd probably say something like, "you tell those ungrateful bastards that I'll order that new fan when I'm damn good and ready."

People Deleting MP3s, Sharing Less...
But Hating The Recording Industry More

People Deleting MP3s, Sharing Less...
But Hating The Recording Industry More 11/05/2003 01:14 PM
A new study has come out saying that, thanks to the RIAA suing everyone they can find, many people are deleting mp3s from their hard drives and using file sharing programs less. However, they also have a lower and lower opinion of the recording industry. That's all well and good, but for as much as they hate the recording industry, if they're still going out and buying the same major label music, the recording industry doesn't really care. This is, of course, short sighted, because that hatred of the recording industry means that they're probably willing to jump ship should a reasonable alternative show up. In the meantime, though, the RIAA will declare this as a victory.

First let me frame any political commentary that may have come before and that may come after. I am a liberal! The small-l, bleeding-heart type; not the Canadian big-L, red-flag waving, party type (couldn't care less 'bout those dudes). The Club for Growth (WTF kind of name is that?), one of those frightening conservative political organizations, is currently running a Dean attack ad featuring a husband and wife talking about Dean's "proposal to raise your taxes by $1900 a year." Their take: "Well, I think Howard Dean should take his tax-hiking, government-expanding, latte-drinking, sushi-eating, Volvo-driving, New York Times-reading … Body-piercing,...
