                Jon Stewart asked John Amaechi how he felt about Tim Hardaway’s dismaying remarks on homosexuality. Here’s his answer: “My first reaction was… I actually laughed a little bit, because you know that people think these things but you don’t imagine people would be stupid enough to say it. On the radio.” I laughed my pants [...]

                Well, I did it. It was actually really easy. And the 1 gig stick has made a difference. Just not much of a difference. I’m pretty convinced now that if I had $280 for a 2 gig stick of RAM, that would solve the problem. But I certainly don’t have that money now, and I [...]

                On Boing Boing’s main page, I found this: Braille bumps on keyboards David Weinberger has a cool idea: “They ought to put Braille bumps on keyboards so that after a couple of years of typing, we will all have learned Braille. Maybe.” Here’s the link, in case you’re curious. I just love people who make [...]

                Hello there, Attached are my applications (both Form B) for competitions no. 11 and no. 28 in this year’s International Eisteddfod. Both are in PDF format. Also attached is a recent mp3 recording. If it is at all possible, I would love to get some kind of verification that this email has reached its destination, [...]

                Okay, Heather was right. The HEB at 41st is the best HEB—and in addition to it being a gigantic store, there’s a Chase bank right in the building… and there’s a quarter machine. I got ten bucks in quarters out of that machine! That’s five to ten loads of laundry, ladies and gentlemen! I think [...]

                This is the last of it—parts 7, 8 and 9. WCPN Christmas Show Clip 7: St. Andrew’s Church Choir, ‘O magnum mysterium…’ My second piece for the show was a song I’d sung two years earlier on the same show, but I decided it was so pretty it deserved a reprise. It was delicious to [...]

                Whew, this is hard work! But this next part is really good. Clip number four is a track from Marge’s new CD, Balm in Gilead. She tells us a little bit about it and they play it for us, and if you just die of happiness and have to have more, I believe that CD [...]
