I never knew

I really hope Stephen Colbert doesn’t get killed in a deer hunting accident in the next few weeks, it would look suspicious within days of him ripping president Bush a new one face to face (torrent, go to about 50:20) at the White House Press Corp dinner. Wow. He basically said everything they’ve been saying on his show and on The Daily Show but to their faces. Balls. Ginornous balls.

Results are in, Yulblog is moving to Laïka, be sure to join us at the new place.

A somewhat over the top but, at the same time, pretty realistic analysis of how men comment. Not so much on low traffic blogs but certainly on sites like digg and Slashdot and quite a bit on old media sites getting into blogs and where readers dont quite know “where” they are and/or how to behave, on top of the lack of actual reading that Anil talks about.

Last week I realised something that I ment to blog, forgot, and remembered tonight at dinner. Next september will be the 5th “anniversary” of 9-11, since then the US (and others because of it) has been living in a… bizarre, somewhat oppressive atmosphere. Five years is pretty important for most people, lots of things can happen in that time, what I realised is that it means that teenagers have spent between 1/3 and almost 1/2 of their lives in that atmosphere, that can’t be good.































































(It’s obviously much worse in a bunch of places, I’m just saying.)

Marvel is lining up Iron Man helmed by Favreau then another Hulk (huh?), Captain America, Ant Man (comedic and directed by the Shaun of the Dead guy), Nick Fury and Thor. The shield and hammer flying around should be…. interesting.

I’d prefer more color but otherwise, love this puzzle loft with interlocking volumes.

Partisan wrangling over Net neutrality heated up on Tuesday, with Democrats pledging a fight over a broadband bill they say will mean extra fees and content restrictions on the Internet.—Democrats pledge fight over Net neutrality (Intel also backs net neutrality)

My sense of these media organisations that use this argument of incredibly rapid technology change is that they’re screaming that they’re being pursued by a snail and yet they cannot get away! ‘The snail! The snail!’, they cry. ‘How can we possibly escape!?. The problem being that the snail’s been moving closer for the last twenty years one way or another and they just weren’t paying attention.—Is the pace of change really such a shock?
