Slashdot is currently featuring a story by OSTG‘s Editor-in-Chief (and my former boss) Robin ‘roblimo’ Miller titled A Recipe for Newspaper Survival in the Internet Age in which he answers the question “How do we [the newspapers] adapt to the Internet?” You’d think, with all the smart people working for newspapers, that by now most… Read more A Catalyst to the Evolution of Newspapers
Great Minds Think Alike: This phrase is used by idiots to complement other idiots who have inadvertently done the same idiotic thing. This phrase is especially useful when a group of idiots discovers the coincidence, such as when all the idiots are wearing the same color shirt. Uttering this phrase makes all idiots in the… Read more Phrase I Hate: “Great minds think alike”
Regarding yesterday’s game against the Bears, I think Ski’s BestBucsBlog says it best. You’re dead to me Matt Bryant. Mind you, I’m not about to kill the guy, but he did kinda give that game to the Bears. *sigh* 13-10 Bears over the Bucs. (Mind you, my money was on the Bears, but that’s beside… Read more Just Three Points
I started reading Jim Rogers’s Adventure Capitalist the night I got the book. Absolutely awesome read. Even better is that he kept an online journal of his experiences at http://www.JimRogers.com. I haven’t gotten much of a chance to read through the site, but you can be sure I’ll be dropping by on a regular basis,… Read more Adventure Capitalist on the Web

Since my love of books trumps my disdain for shopping, I figured The Wife and I (not really by her choice) would drop… Read more Bookstore Blowout

The proposal, sponsored by… Read more On the Question of Torture
America’s retailers have asked me to deliver a special message to all of you who have decided to stay at home between 5am and noon on Black Friday:
You know, one of the downsides to having your birthday land on a holiday is that people start, for that one day, to associate you with whatever the holiday stands for. Born on New Year’s? You get to be the New Year’s baby. On Yom Kippur? You’re the Baby of Atonement. On Christmas? You’re S.O.L.… Read more Flipping the Birthday Bird
Ahh, Thanksgiving weekend. For some reason it’s my favorite time of year. Strangely enough, it has less to do with food, shopping, and football than with good memories and the weather. The food and football are nice, though; I’ll pass on the shopping. I’m looking forward to getting a bit of time to pump out… Read more Eventfully Relaxing Weekend Ahead
I just received this rather threatening email from none other than the Central Intelligence Agency (who, as we all know, isn’t supposed to do domestic espionage. But you know, that’s beside the point). From: Admin@cia.gov To: you@gnorb.net Subject: You visit illegal websites Dear Sir/Madam, we have logged your IP-address on more than 30 illegal Websites.… Read more Holy Crapamoly! The CIA’s After Me!
