The Tea Party's Rank Amateurism - Politics - The... →
I hear GOP folks and Tea Partiers bemoaning the fact that media and Democrats are using the extremes of their movement for ratings and to score points. This is like Drew Brees complaining that Dwight Freeney keeps trying to sack him. If that were Martin Luther King’s response to media coverage, the South might still be segregated. I exaggerate, but my point is that the whining reflects a...

Did I ever tell you about the time I saw a zombie?

Billy Badass (Vladimir), a 14 year old punk with the smile of a shark, turned and started yelling at this woman across the street. Starling-like, the kids shifted from the jokes and games we were playing to taunting. Some ran across the street directly in front of the woman and...

Themes of the iPad Announcement
Many smart, wonderful people have written volumes about the iPad since the announcement. I keep replaying Apple’s January 27th iPad presentation in my head. Not because I’m interested in what multi-touch gestures were used or what this means to the future of Apple, human-computer interaction (HCI), software distribution or any number of things about the device itself. While interesting, we’ll have...
