Death Blogging
Last Saturday, science fiction author and futurist Robert Anton Wilson posted the following on his blog: Do Not Go Gently Into That Good Night Various medical authorities swarm in and out of here predicting I have between two days and two months to live. I think they are guessing. I remain cheerful and unimpressed. I look forward without dogmatic optimism … Read More
Google Searches That Lead To Me
The blogger at Brilliant at Breakfast discovered that people who google the phrase "Nancy Pelosi breast size" get his site as one of the results, and that’s how they come to him (despite the fact that he never blogged about Nancy Pelosi’s breast size). So I wanted to see what searches people have done which lead them here. Here’s a … Read More
Battle Fatigue And Xmas Photomoblogging
It seems like this is National Let’s-Tell-Ken-What’s-Wrong-With-Him Week. Everywhere I turn –at work and outside — people seem quite content to spread holiday cheer by inserting probes into me and giving me their amateurish psychological assessments, and acting contrarian simply for (it seems) the sake of contrarianism. It’s beyond annoying, and I’m not sure why this is happening. I see … Read More
Light Blogging?
Well, I’ve exceeded my bandwidth for the month. Or, more accurately, you’ve exceeded my bandwidth. Not quite sure why, but I’m inching up to 50,000 "hits" to my main page, and I’m averaging over 150 per day — so I’m pretty sure it’s not just me. Anyway, I’m only alotted a certain amount of transfer bandwidth per month here at … Read More

Addicted To The Internets?
According to a just-completed study from researchers at Stanford’s School of Medicine, one in eight people show signs of “problematic internet use.” I read this, and decided to blog about it, which means I’m probably one of the eight. Results from the telephone-based survey of more than 2,000 people found that: 13.7 percent found it hard to stay away from … Read More
“Sorry I Haven’t Posted In A While…”
This is unique. A blogger went out and collected a bunch of apologies written by other bloggers explaining reasons why they have been lax in their blogging. Some examples: "I’m sorry I haven’t posted in awhile. I’ve been so busy, but hopefully we’ll catch up on things. Anyway, my great-grandmother died today." [LINK] "I forgot my password…" [LINK] "bc I … Read More

It’s Not You
Typepad is having problems today apparently. Posting and commenting may be a little weird. UPDATE (3:30 pm): Seems to have gone away — whatever it was.
Plan B
Looks like the morning-after pill may become a reality after all, and will soon be available over the counter without a prescription. Don’t look now, but I think the abortion wars just kicked up a notch.
