For all their preparation, the Republicans seem to have briefed W? with only two memes:
I am the Commander in Chief. Bow before me
Changing your position is a sign of weakness. Real men don’t learn from their mistakes.
The drones may lap it up, but I’m underwhelmed.
Kerry, meanwhile, needs a few injections of charisma. […]
I hate being unilingual, but I just don’t seem to have any language-aquiring neural circuits left. It seems strange, as new computer languages don’t bother me at all, but then again I learned the core grammers long ago, and there hasn’t been anything dramatically new iteration and branch control can only be described in […]
I’ve finished my third century this month, and fourth for 2004. Unlike last year?, the weather was awesome. The wind didn’t pick up until after lunch, and only became a strong headwind for the last long leg. Thankfully, the “Psycling Psychos” in their patriotic garb let me join their paceline, so the […]
Kristan’s cat, Critter, decided to pose for a photoshop experiment.
Jason Kottke has added his 2 to Anil Dash’s assertion that Google could/should/might release a web browser.
The possibility of Google providing both a browser and applications is fascinating. Unlike Microsoft, they are likely to integrate these in an open fashion, picking up the torch from Netscape on the Web Object Model. I can’t […]
Blacklisting spammers would be quite effective, if it wasn’t so easy for them to forge the sender. I’ve been encouraging friends to sign their messages with S/MIME, in a sort of grassroots effort to work around the primary weakness of the net’s email infrastructure (SMTP’s blind trust of the From: header) that enables spam.
It’s […]

But Kerry gets the vote I’m casting against Bush, since we don’t have ranked voting in Missouri.
Heather, Ryan, Dwayne, Kurt and I rode the MS 150 as team Velocity.
Despite what is being called the most challenging route in the ride’s history and obnoxious winds, I pulled two century patches again this year. I’m told the first day was only 94 miles, but the second was 106. The final hill […]
I really want a watch with a face reminiscent of the Clock of the Long Now. A full astrolabe is nice. but is a bit busy. A planisphere face is beautiful, but they seem inexplicably rare. Presently Yes makes my favorite display, but their watch bodies are thick (13 mm for the […]
Since I am a fan of eating whatever I want?, I sometimes have to wonder at the success of those who restrict themselves to low fat or low carb diets. Christopher Genoves has an explanation: any restricted diet has a calorie advantage. He also explains why the low carb diets are so popular:
