A Political Run for the Border.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the only arrests I know of, of someone trying to cross the border with weapons has happened along the Canadian border. Bush has suggested that one of the major reasons behind his desire to place the National Guard onto our Southern borders is for homeland security. That’s fine. I…

Comment Feed and Maintenance.
I’m still getting to know how the new version of this Web site works. For example, up until yesterday I didn’t have stats. Also, I am no longer emailed when I receive a comment. However, there is an RSS feed for recent comments and I find that I’m using that quite frequently. Anyway, if anyone…

The British are Coding!
Tobyjoe was featured contributor for the biggest Web magazine in the UK. It was about Ruby on Rails. He’s been looking for the magazine for about a week. We finally found some at the Barnes and Noble on Union Square. At the time he was writing the article, the editor wanted a picture and so…

Screw You, You Little Prick.
Today, I stupidly decided to go visit the “on site” visiting work nurse to get a reading for my cholesterol, my blood pressure, and my glucose. And it’s a good thing I did that because I found out that I’m dying. On March 28th, 2006 (yes, that’s not even two months ago) I went in…

Racist DJ Gets the Axe
Many years ago, when I first moved to DC, a very popular morning DJ was fired from his job for saying something inappropriate on the air. He was discussing Lauren Hill’s booming success album. She had just been nominated for 10 Grammys and I guess he couldn’t understand why. Around that same time, a Texas…

Elvis Costello, Chinatown, and Three Ladies Drinking.
Besides the fact that it’s supposed to rain for three days straight here in the Big Apple, my weekend plans look promising. Tobyjoe and I were given tickets to see Elvis Costello perform at BAM tonight. Apparently the seats are outstanding. I’m trying to not seem too excited about it because we adopted the tickets…

You Better Hope That Truck Don’t Wreck.
I just tried to visit someone’s Web site from Self-Portrait Day and this is what I met:
