John Gruber on ‘The Tablet’
Like all Apple products, The Tablet will do less than we expect but the things it does do, it will do insanely well. It will offer a fraction of the functionality of a MacBook — but that fraction will be way more fun. The same Asperger-y critics who dismissed the iPhone will focus on all [...]
Rare New Year’s Eve ‘blue Moon’? Really?
The Associated Press: Rare New Year’s Eve ‘blue moon’ to ring in 2010:
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Once in a blue moon there is one on New Year’s Eve.
Revelers ringing in 2010 will be treated to a so-called blue moon. According to popular definition, a blue moon is the second full moon in a month.

Christopher Hitchens on airplane security measures
What nobody in authority thinks us grown-up enough to be told is this: We had better get used to being the civilians who are under a relentless and planned assault from the pledged supporters of a wicked theocratic ideology.
You know, every time I read an article about terrorism or terrorists I just can’t help but [...]

The first rule of making the playoffs is: you have to win [...]
The Tennessee Titans and the calculus of the NFL Playoffs
With only one game remaining to be played in Week 15, the playoff picture is becoming more and more clear. What is perfectly clear, at least as far as the Tennessee Titans are concerned, is that while we are not (yet) mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, it would be an understatement of immense proportions to [...]

Family Guy pisses off the Parents Television Council
So it must be one hell of a fucking-A good show. I hate to make blanket statements–I’m willing to bet that there’s something the PTC and I both agree shouldn’t be on TV–but as a general rule, anything that pisses off the PTC is okey-dokey with me.
