Yesterday, I was reading a bunch of random blogs that I had linked to from various places. Out of the bunch, I wanted to comment on only two of them, but I didn’t leave my comments. Why? Because both of the blogs required that I register in order to comment. Why do that? I mean,…

Robert Altman died two days ago.

As of late, I have been looking for an elegant solution to warn visitors that a link they’re about to click on will open in a new window. It’s a constant battle for web designers and there are many schools of thought ranging from changing the colour of the link, to including a little graphic…

Following up on yesterday’s post about Britney divorcing Fed-Ex, when did entertainment news become legitimate news? Actually, I guess the question should be when did television news stations start focusing on infotainment? Perhaps Hearst’s particular brand of yellow journalism never really disappeared, although journalism has been accused of sensationalism since the 1790s. Heck, even Pulitzer…

It was bound to happen. Britney Spears divorcing Kevin Federline, I mean, not a Britney sex tape (although that was bound to happen as well, wasn’t it?). Has Britney finally come to her senses? It would seem so, although the inciting incident for the divorce is allegedly that she caught him cheating on her. There…

I just received an e-mail stating some concern that what I said about Shannon Sullivan could earn me a lawsuit. The sender of the e-mail (I’ll keep their identity to myself) said, “Its [sic] great to express your opinion but I dont [sic] think it is worth getting in trouble over.” I disagree. I think…

In the past, I did poke fun at the incident, but the simple fact of the matter is that Mayor West got screwed by the local newspaper (read: Cowles family), by the people of Spokane, and in particular, by a white-trash bitch…

Of all the things I have in my head about which to blog, I chose this one because it’s fairly topical and it made me laugh. It also shows how skewed the local newspaper is. This is the cover of yesterday’s Spokesman Review. The headline proudly proclaims, “Democrats Seize Day”, which explains why they have…

Holy shit. I just got to work and I’m all shaken up from the walk. As I’ve mentioned in the past, I’m cynophobic (afraid of dogs). When I walk to work, I walk on the wrong side of the road because one house. At this house live two dogs. I don’t mean a couple of…

Alright. I’m sick of people pronouncing the name Borat incorrectly. At first it didn’t bother me much, but now that the Borat movie is, well, kicking so much ass, everyone is talking about it and everyone is pronouncing the name incorrectly. It’s irritating, because it’s so easy to pronounce properly. Let’s take a look: The…
