I did a huge amount of work this weekend for the Docs Project: Outlined the next-gen Documentation Guide; Outlined part of a new hands-on example tutorial section; Read oodles of archived messages and bugs in Bugzilla to gather dangling inputs for the Guide and our other process docs; and Even …
This is an outrage! Who among us does not know the immortal classic “C is for Cookie?” Sorry, I think I’m capable of teaching my kids that they don’t get to eat cookies ALL THE TIME. Cookie Monster is lovable because of his gluttony; the hyperbole of this little sweets-gobbling …
I couldn’t be more psyched—I found the coolest anti-racism site ever on the Internet! It’s like Sally and Johnny are saying exactly how I feel! I’m going to send a story to Slashdot so even more people can learn how to spread the love, dig?
This just in from a “friend of a friend” who passes on this report from the front. Please, please, please pass this link on to others you know, but do not copy the story verbatim. If you’re visiting this story, please feel free to leave a comment below. CG FIRST …
Well, you could make an amazing movie like The Incredibles, which Eleya and I saw in the theaters and just bought on DVD yesterday. And somehow in between, I managed to forget just how darned great this movie really is. You have to love a movie that bucks the going …

As with every other half-baked commentary of its ilk, the author of this deranged, zigzag screed has no conception of the Constitution’s purpose. It is a document that guarantees certain rights against encroachment by the government, not by private entities. Free speech is not your ability to say whatever you …
This is a personal letter from a soldier whom I know secondhand in Iraq, talking about the current state of affairs there. I wonder how much of this gets covered in the mass media—somewhere between zero and “huh?” I suppose. Hello everyone, Taking a little time out from hectic last …
Unbeknownst to me (until now), the Apple store in Evansville, Indiana, which hosted frields.com bellied-up at the end of 2004, which is why my mail there has been bouncing — and why there’s now a generic travel sales site taking up referrals from that URL. I had hoped that the …
