Meanwhile, On the Western Horizon . . .

August 6, 2011

I spent eight hours today at the karate school, during which time I learned many things that do not necessarily translate to this medium. Most notably I brushed up on my Iron Palm work— and, in one case, my Iron Elbow. The end result is that I’m too tired to do much of anything but […]

Keeping it Real

August 4, 2011

A few days ago I saw Midnight in Paris, Woody Allen’s new movie.  All the reviews told me how wonderful and magical it was, and the last movie the Woodmeister made in Paris, Everyone Says I Love You, actually was wonderful and magical, so I went to see it. I was reasonably charmed by Midnight […]

Spam and its Discontents

July 31, 2011

  Remember back in April when people were happy that the world volume of spam had decreased by a third or more?  Some of the more notorious botnets, like Rostock and Mega-D, were being dismantled, presumably with the aid of the governments of the former-SSRs that had been hosting them all this time.

The Wit of the Toolbox

July 26, 2011

The French have a term, l’esprit d’escalier, “wit of the staircase,” for those incredibly pithy and clever remarks that you never actually deliver, because by the time you think of them, the party’s over and you’re heading down the stair on your way home.  Taos Toolbox has a similar sort of wit.  Not because it’s […]

Taos Toolbox Retrospective

July 26, 2011

Ever since Taos Toolbox ended on Saturday I’ve been curled up in my cave like an exhausted bear, catching up on everything that’s happened in my world since I went up the mountain on the 10th.     At least our political world is consistent: those losers in Washington are still arguing about the same stuff they […]

And Speaking of Rupert Murdoch . . .

July 22, 2011

  Wifi here has got very slow, and I’m unable to upload your daily amusements.    But if I put a video on this page, all I have to upload is the code, and although it will take fifteen minutes, you’ll probably be able to see it. So here, via Sean Eret, is It’s a Wonderful […]
