Valentine’s day: I was at the Target Center in Minneapolis for a Timberwolves game against the slumping Seattle Supersonics. We got better-than-usual seats in a package deal that included a $30 gift card to a fancy pretend-italian restaurant whose chef must have just moved up from Denny’s or Perkins.
We sat right above the tunnel where [...]

Earlier this week I asked:
“What’s the threshold for igniting this kind of outrage in the Muslim world? These cartoons were first published five months ago in a Danish newspaper with a circulation of 150,000. What if they had first been published on my blog, circulation 17? Is there a magic number of people a cartoon [...]

Some things to think about:
1. How many people would have ever seen the cartoons if there hadn’t been any protests? How many people have seen them precisely because of the protests? Was this the intended effect? (here are some of the offending cartoons, if you haven’t seen them)
2. What’s the threshold for igniting this kind [...]

Do what SportsIllustrated.com does; insert a loud, annoying streaming ad down at the bottom of the page (under the fold), and have it autoplay, so that when it starts, it’s impossible to figure why or how your computer is blasting noise.

Go read Doc Searl’s essay in the Linux journal, called “Getting Flat, Part 2″. Seriously, go read it.
Commenting on Microsoft’s (and others’) practice of screening job applicants by IQ scores:
I can save Microsoft a pile of time and money by reporting a fact no school wants to admit, one that will flatten the world far [...]

Ugh. I wish I could write something enjoyable about this. My hosting company, Bloghosts, which has served me well for almost a year, is shutting down in January.
That means I have to move lots of files and databases to a new server. So posting may be light for a few days while I get [...]

Sadly, I can’t muster the concentration required for a cogent post this evening. I could set the alarm an hour earlier for tomorrow, but unless I stumble upon some really interesting election coverage, let’s face it, you’re not going to be interested.
Besides the election (which happily seems to be floating along quite non-violently), nothing [...]
