I am incredibly proud these days to be represented in the U.S. Senate by not only by Bernie Sanders, but also Senator Patrick Leahy. His untiring crusade against all things nasty and Republican (ah, but I repeat myself) is so desperately needed, and his willingness to call “bullshit” on creatures of the dark like Dear…

A very dear old friend of my just let me know about his latest project: producing for Danish musician Henrik Andersen and his unique mix of pop/funk… and sitars. Very cool, but then Morten was always the trendsetter doing the very cool things in a very cool way.
Google rules. I must spend at least several hours a day with Teh Google — it does everything, right? From search to maps to email to… But, according to this story, it doesn’t always do everything quite right. “Google has updated the imagery of the New Orleans and Gulf Coast areas on its Google Earth…

I'd never seen this one before. Looks excellent. Image of course from somethingawful.com and their excellent Photoshop Phriday. My personal favorite from their recent Children's Books series is this one. (h/t Norbizness at the General's)
I love biking. I love bike racing. And it’s been tough to watch the last couple of years’ of bad, bad publicity for a great sport. But. I really can’t get to riled up about the fact that all the big riders have done what they could to enhance their performance — it’s only natural…
Okay, I could be quite wrong and unreasonably critical here, and for someone who doesn’t ever watch TV maybe I’m being hypocritical. But I’m convinced there are fuzzy green things growing in the back of my garden with a significantly higher IQ than CNN’s “Faith & Values” Correspondent, Delia Gallagher. It wouldn’t take much to…
