I have to think that magazine covers like this are worth more than an editorial in the NYT
…unlike NYT editorials – this magazine cover is in nearly every checkout line in nearly every grocery store inthe country.
Book Club Date Check
I have done a little research for our upcoming book club meeting. I think we are going to hold it at The Lobby House in Dover. The only question is the date and time. I was thinking about next Thursday at 6:30. Can I get some feedback in the comments to let me know if […]
Open Source Radio Ad: Take 2
I liked the original concept – so this is just a slight tweak. We’ll need to settle on a final version pretty soon, so do me and pay special attention to the part where Geek enumerates the benefits for the listener. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (rock guitar music bed quick fade out.) ME: Hey geek, listen to this new […]
A Blast from the Past
For the last few months I’ve been experiencing a strong sense of déjà vu; a feeling that we’ve been here, done that. The curious thing about this sensation is that it’s not limited to one party or one candidate. Now the obvious example is John McCain and his – and everyone who dares utter his […]
One People
You may be aware of the first viral video entitled “Where the Hell is Matt?” It followed a Seattle resident named Matt Harding around the world as he very badly danced at each locale. The original video was inspiring to me, and the 2008 version does not disappoint [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY[/youtube] No matter where you go in […]
Carney v. Loudell?
A little birdie shot me a note about a post that Allan Loudell has up on his blog. He is basically begging for an interview with Carney about the eminent domain bill. Could it be that I can get 15 minutes with Carney about the bill during a recess on the last day of the […]
“This Isn’t Over.”
Those are the words of Ed Osborne after the Senate failed to override Governor Minner’s veto of the Eminent Domain Bill last night. So true those words. Politics isn’t easy. Civic participation in our government isn’t easy. If it was, more people would do it. And this country would either be a utopia or a […]

“One Strike, Certain Death”
In 1950, Sosai (the founder) Mas Oyama started testing (and demonstrating) his power by fighting bulls. In all, he fought 52 bulls, three of which were killed instantly, and 49 had their horns taken off with knife hand blows. In 1952, he travelled the United States for a year, demonstrating his karate live and on […]
Next SEU Meeting Scheduled
The SEU has put out a public notice for comments on an RFP to hire a contract administrator for the SEU. The draft RFP is available here. A meeting is scheduled for Thursday, July 3 at 10AM in Dover. Interestingly, the notice just came to my inbox at 2:30PM today. I am not sure that […]
Oh Man, That Rick Jensen is a Tool
I’m sorry. I had to get that out. I had the misfortune to hear him for a few minutes this afternoon and I am utterly convinced that he does no preparation for his show whatsoever other than watching Bill O’Reilly the night before.
Carney on Eminent Domain
Last night I was at Legislative Hall to see the circus that is the last day of the session. I had an issue at work, so I got down there a little late and ended up just missing the eminent domain vote in the Senate. I got the lowdown from Sagacious Steve in the liveblogging […]
