Dan visits the nuclear power plant

This is the most interesting blog post I’ve read in a long time. My friend Dan toured the Davis-Besse nuclear power plant [no kidding] and took some photos [I especially like the one of him in a Tyvek suit]. Do check it out.

Hope Maryland’s AccuVote is ready for me

Well, here we go: On Tuesday, Maryland [and nine other states] gets to test out its electronic voting gadgets. And we, the hapless American public, could be the victims of this little experiment:
“People complain about hanging chads,” said Aviel D. Rubin, technical director of the Information Security Institute at Johns Hopkins University in […]

Sure, it’s nice, but it won’t last

Love this weather, man. Spent the afternoon on the porch reading Al Franken’s Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them. Here are a couple excerpts. Good book. I laughed a few times. And yes, I think it’s pretty obvious that members of the Right have been lying their little butts off. But I think, […]

Crafty son of a bitch, ain’t she.

Behold the T-shirt I made and the quilt parts that are waiting for the next step.

Weedwhacker time

Quick thoughts, before I pad off to bed:

For the love of all that is holy, don’t even consider voting for Nader. I’m so pissed at him.

I shaved my legs for the first time in like two or three months and I’m all silky now.

“The Devil Wears Prada” is a book that could have been condensed […]

Wax in my teeth, fur in my ear.

So we’re at the grocery store today, trying to find the orgasmically good sharp white cheddar cheese we had while at my in-laws’ house. Can’t find it. Get some expensive cheese with wax binding instead.
The wax gets all over the place and now is living in my teeth, waiting patiently for an eviction notice. Well […]

Damn you, Sofia Coppola.

I’m a wreck. I finally watched “Lost in Translation” tonight, and now I’m a puffy-eyed slobbering idiot.
[Combine that with Baz Luhrman’s “Romeo + Juliet,” which I watched earlier in the week, and I’m all tapped-out, tears-wise.]
LIT was terrific. One of the few movies I’ve seen this year that I’d actually consider buying.
As Entertainment Weekly […]

Angry Ninja, where are you?

I sure could use a stealthy, martial-arts-trained amateur advice columnist who is wise to the arts of Ninjury to help me in my political confusion.
