Going to MICA
Today was my last day of full time work for Tobacco.org. Tomorrow, I’m going to MICA for orientation and enrollment. Next week, I start the long road to my MA. Hopefully my schedule will give me a couple of days out of the week to keep working. Otherwise I’ll have to go the year without [...]
BlogMD Initiative
The blogs4God folk have been talking about this BlogMD Initiative for a couple of days now, and I thought it worth a Blogroots post. The “metadata standards” concept still eludes me, however; it sits just across the border of my experience between art and tech. I imagine it has something to do with integrating the [...]
FriendBear!!!
After a long and alarming disappearance, Friend Bear is back, with fun deconstructionist socialism for all. Be sure to see his visit to the objectivism theme park and the wonders of Professor Dog-Ear.

Star Trek Politics
Star Trek Politics. Tim Hagan pulls some sci-fi strings through his wife, Captain Janeway, and gets Kirk to help campaign for him.
Verdana and Georgia
A history of Georgia and Verdana, and their designer, Matthew Carter. We have him to thank for today’s eminently readable on-screen fonts of choice for websites everywhere. (Link via NSOP.)
On Opie and Anthony
Society’s standards of decency are there for a reason, and when radio shock jocks find it amusing to broadcast live public sex from a Catholic Church just for ratings, then something is going wrong. “It’s the work of people so jaded they think that intellectual bravery is defined not by the traditions you honor, but [...]
Maryland Crab
Wallking home from dinner at Harborplace Food Plaza, I saw this crab clinging to the harbor pier. Ain’t it cute? Photo taken with an Aiptek Mini Pencam 1.3MP.
