TV books

You know how you have those books under your TV so the sound only cuts out every 20 minutes or so? Well we just moved our TV and it worked for 15 minutes before the sound went out…with no books under it at all!

Brendan: What?

Me: Did your diaper fall off?

Brendan: What?

Me: Did Grandma's diaper fall off? I hope Grandma's diaper didn't fall off

Brendan: <laughs hysterically>

Brendan: What?

Lessig's blog about Senator Ben Nelson


“But meanwhile, we’ll be working hard to make more enemies, by making the status quo very uncomfortable. Nice was for the 90s. CHANGE was the promise for today.”

The Most Dangerous Person in the World?


This is nothing Bruce Schneier hasn’t said a million times, nor is it anything but reasonable and sensible but still the majority of us could learn a lot from it. Spending pretty much any time worrying about terrorists is not only a waste but probably actively dangerous by diverting your attention from problems that are far more likely.

This is what drives me nuts about people who constantly expound this fear in the media. Likewise for my inlaws.

Please feed the meters


My wife will sometimes pay for the person behind her on the tollway. That’s friendly and cool. Some are applying that strategy to Chicago’s ridiculous-enough-to-deserve it contractor who runs the parking meters now to be not only friendly but deprive them of ticket revenue from violations.

I have to respect that.

Thank you congress. If Change Congress http://change-congress.org/ had finished the work it is just now starting we wouldn’t be in this financial mess.
