  • A Reader Writes…

    I almost feel like I have to click on you, just in the hopes you can outscore ‘pornographers picks.’ My reply: Thanks, although I hope I can attract readers based on my content, too! I see I lost ground to the pornoblog over the weekend. Well, when you’re number four you try harder! I’m not…

    x-pollen hub coming together. I’m working through the logjam at my web server, having just set up the DNS for some new domains: antiweb.net, x-pollen.com, radiofreeblogistan.com, and a few others. Still need to restart the server to get the new virtual hosts working, set up cgi access where needed. A few need new usernames, permissions,…

  • Jamie Lee Curtis Has Nothing

    Jamie Lee Curtis Has Nothing to Hide. The actress outs her body in More:Because in 2002, more than three decades into the women’s movement, it is still a radical act for a woman to accept her body as it is. “We knew the article was important,” said Susan Crandall, editor-in-chief of the magazine, targeted to…

  • Stock Market Press Flacks Still

    Stock Market Press Flacks Still Riding High. In Talking Bull, The Guardian wonders why the journalists who pumped up stocks during the bull market are still heeded in this bearish downturn:Instead of being required to write, “I will not confuse libertarian hallucinations with practical investment advice” 36,000 times, he was indulged with a seat on…

  • More CVB Memories. I remember

    More CVB Memories. I remember now that they also played When I Win the Lottery and Flowers from Key Lime Pie. The tension between Lowery and Siegal was light and they made light of it, though David wore a cowboy hat that obscured the nonbearded half of his face, and winced when he (rarely, but…

  • New Blog of Note

    Just added to my blogroll: The Vicarious Delusions of Malium’s journal. I think blogrolls need to be annotated, or at least that I should do more than just add people to a link and never explain why. Backfilling is always piling up, but at least from now on when I add someone I can note…

  • Posting Experiment via LiveJournal Client

    I’m tired of having to generate a new editing window every time I want to link to someone, write something, or edit something. I just made RadioExpress! pop up its editing window in a new window because I want to link to several URI’s in one entry and otherwise RE! takes over the window I…

  • Puta De las Heces De

    Puta De las Heces De Juan. Gnosis, a Salon blog that currently has a John Lee Hooker quotation as its description, notes that the Spanish translation of the artist’s name is suprisingly literal: Puta De las Heces De Juan … means “prostitute (hooker) of the shelters (lees) of John.” Good thing the folks programming the…

  • Automated Aggregation!

    Ask and ye shall receive. Now I have to admit my failure of reading comprehension, as I did not grok from Dave’s explanation a week ago that the Multi-Author Weblog tool has exactly the feature I wished for in my previous entry. Mark Paschal, ever helpful, commented thusly: Autoposting from feeds is what the Multi-Author…
