Multi-tasking: Making a loaf and a call

Friday, November 12th, 2004

So I'm in the bathroom down the hall from my office ("my" bathroom) taking a piss, and I hear from a stall somebody carrying on a loud conversation. On his cell phone, of course.That is so wrong. I'm not sure why, but it is.

Ooh yeah, syndicate me, baby

This blog has had an atom/xml/rss feed for a while, for those of you who use some kind of RSS aggregator (personally, I like Abilon). But for those of you who don't want to run a desktop aggregator but wouldn't mind joining the wave of the future by taking ...

The Onion tells what really happened

Tuesday, November 9th, 2004

As always, The Onion rules. Nation's Poor Win Election for Nation's Rich.

The concession speech Kerry should have given
