In case you had not heard, there was a call for a day of silence in the blogosphere out of respect for the folks who lost their lives in the Virginia Tech massacre. Personally, I posed the question to readers over at Outside the Beltway last week and received some very interesting opinions. I was [...]

Earlier today I posted an entry calling for photos having to do with Katrina, both during and after. Since then I have setup the site after having a number of conversations with bloggers from the gulf area and others who I respect. More information can be found at the site.
For long time readers (like, really [...]

We are coming up on the one year anniversary and I’m looking to put together a photo blog to commemorate the event. It will not be an ongoing blog, but it will go on as long as necessary. Basically, this is a way to pay tribute to New Orleans, Mississippi and Alabama.
This will not be [...]

The other day, I wrote a “memo” to Team New Orleans, the group of “citizen journalists” that Chartreuse, Know More Media and Blogmedia among others paid to send to do some “investigative reporting” down in New Orleans. The topic was inhumane treatment a whole year after Katrina devastated the gulf coast.
In that entry I took [...]

Alot has been hinted at about the session Om Malik hosted at WordCamp. I think I gave him the hardest time publically, though there were a few such as Loren Feldman and Chartreuse who also took him to task. Om Malik is one of the finest tech writers in the industry, and my criticism of [...]

Speaking of racist bullshit… what is with Congresswoman McKinney, the woman who punched a police officer now claiming that she is a victim of being in Congress while black. I guess that’s something like “driving while black”. I wonder if it has dawned on the good black congresswoman that hitting a police officer is [...]

This immigration thing is huge. I hate to keep hammering this issue as myself and others on this blog have, but something deep inside of me tells me we are witnessing a monumental crossroads in American history.
America has had these crossroads before. Marbury vs. Madison in 1803 established the role of the Supreme [...]

I am a HUGE fan of movies. Perhaps mostly as an outlet for my imagination, or maybe it’s just addictive brain candy, in either case, I have spent a lot of my life making the movie industry rich. Some of my choices to pay money for movies can be anything [...]

We all have them: some one in our family who is a little odd, or not on center. Be it a crazy aunt, a strange uncle, etc. None of that prepared me for what I’m about to share with you.
First of all, most of my family know I blog. My wife has read some of [...]

I’ve said alot about MySpace recently and with good reason. It claims to have the largest membership of any other site on the internet with the exception of, I believe, Engadget. Hell, I couldn’t even go see a movie the other night without seeing a girl run up to another girl who was apparently [...]

My very good friend, compadre, You Can Blog co-author… My esteemed colleague, Jeremy, is freaking. Apparently, MySpace is the next world Empire and we as bloggers are doomed.
MySpacers connect better than bloggers, get their friends into it better than bloggers, stay in touch more than bloggers, and form true sociological pods better than bloggers. [...]

I couldn’t help but ponder some questions when I read this ad in today’s University of Minnesota student newpaper “Minnesota Daily“:
Egg Donors Needed $10,000 (Plus all Expenses). We are seeking women who are attractive (who judges that is beyond me), under the age of 29 (so you hot 30 somethings nevermind, they don’t want you), [...]

I am amazed at people. Why? Well… the ignorance.
Let me clarify what I’m talking about. I live in Baltimore County, Maryland. I haven’t always lived here. I grew up in the area, but I grew up in Anne Arundel County. People are not nice here. They aren’t. I don’t mean that they are simply not [...]

In light of the recent banter between Vinnie and I, I found this story appropriate. That and I just really don’t feel like writing anything too in depth. Not in the mood.
Kathleen Parker, an excellent social commentator that I like to read regularly in Town Hall has a particularly amusing, yet alarming article, about how, [...]

I have avoided pope-blogging for reasons of respect and because you can go anywhere for this. But I read this column in the Wall Street Journal by Peggy Noonan. It’s an exceptional article:
You are a cardinal of the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church, a modern man, and for the past seven days, in private [...]
