Recently readOne year ago I discovered Terry Heaton, a person I have come to treasure more than I can put into words. I discovered Terry one year ago because he had just found his adored wife, Allie, dead on their bathroom floor in the middle of the night. His friends in the blogosphere were expressing their […]

Due to unforeseen circumstances (our host has child care obstacles to overcome tonight), the timing for this evening’s conversation has changed slightly. Instead of meeting from 6-8PM as planned, we’re going to be meeting from 5.30-7PM. The address remains the same: 1212 Sycamore Street, buzz number 32 for secure entry.
Don’t worry if you can’t be […]

As in, he finally had those tests, and they came back all clear. To say I am relieved is somewhat of an understatment, though this is all assuming the doctor(s) got it right. Bonuses: Antoine is now out of the hospital, and will be flying to Cincinnati on Saturday.
At around 6 this morning, after we […]

He’s still in the hospital, and they still don’t know when they will have the resources to give him the diagnostic tests he really needs. Right now they’re talking about keeping him in for a third night, because they very likely won’t be able to fit him in today for those tests.
This is outrageous. […]

I’m feeling particularly smug over this photo, as Mr Cincinnati Joe Wessels - who has been showing off his beloved home city to me with great pride for the last month - admitted that he hadn’t before spotted the plaque commemorating a speech made by Abraham Lincoln at a spot where […]

Scott Davis is doing the world a big favor with his blog Finding Your Marbles, in which he gives practical advice and guidance to those who suffer (or have suffered) depression, other mental illness, and/or sexual assault. (Male victims of sexual assault will find Scott’s perspective especially helpful, and while it’s a totally grim subject, […]

Damian’s imagined topics for a Jeremy Kyle show (Yanks, think Maury Povich) where the guests are all middle class (Yanks, think upper-class) made me laugh out loud.

I’d put money on Sarkozy to win this, and I don’t think it will be tight. Why not? Because I asked election nut Antoine, and he told me so.
Seriously: Antoine says that the big problem with Royal is that she’s so uninspiring to her core constituency, there’s little chance of there being a huge […]

Yeah, let us know how that works out for y’all. Let me guess: with tens of millions of dead bodies and persecuted gay people.
I just happen to be wearing this Marx t-shirt today, but I reeeeally need to add this one to my collection:

WKRP in Cincinnati Theme Sing-Along
Originally uploaded by dynamist.
It was hard to get any decent pictures of anything but Carew Tower, but I tried. Photo set is here.
As for the sing-along, all I can say is that it made me laugh, and not in an evil, smug way. I didn’t sing along, and I felt sorry […]

Chris gets up and “What the fuck,” he says, not questioning, more like a statement of fact.
“I’ve been stuck at IBM for a year with my thumb up my ass and I’m waiting for someone to figure out what the fuck is going on and they’ve got plans I give them all the time […]

I’m with Jason Calacanis and Dave Winer on this one: If I don’t know you or your editors well enough to trust you - which I probably do not - I’m not going to do an interview with you except by email (or, as Dave offers, blog post).
More practically, you’re going to get a […]

My brother and I were born on the same day (July 21), three years apart. (No, we’re not twins. You wouldn’t believe how many people ask us that, as if we’re going to whip out a copy of the Guinness Book of World Records and point to our names under the entry for Longest Twin […]
