This week’s “Angel” – amazingly powerful stuff. I got so wrapped up in the episode, carried away by the storyline as it related to the whole Angel/Buffy mythos, it was so scary and graphic. The writing was so good, the acting – good delivery of good lines… So, I’m blurting all this, while I still [...]

For Worse Judith Shulevitz weighs in on whether or not candidate’s wives are fair game to the public wondering who to support. I don’t quite understand her rant. I think it must be really quaint to view the family as a single entity with a husband and wife (or 2 parents) and children (with slight [...]

Super Bowl’s coming. Yes, there’s football, there’s “Survivor” (coming after the football) and there are the ads in between. Hmm… Hopefully this year’s Super Bowl’s ads will be interesting; I recall not being particularly thrilled by last year’s. The other day, I finally saw the latest Priceline ad, the one YC referred in his commentary [...]

Ctrl-Alt-Del Inventor To Retire From IBM (Slashdot) Dr. David Bradley, leader of the original IBM PC engineering team and creator of the “CTRL-ALT-DEL” interrupt key combo, is retiring from IBM to teach. He didn’t really place much importance to CTRL-ALT-DEL, thinking that only programmers would have any real need to use it. Little did he [...]

NY Times’ Quotation of the day: “We are about to embark on what is arguably the coolest geologic field trip in history.” DR. STEVEN W. SQUYRES, the Mars mission’s principal science investigator. See also corresponding article. I wouldn’t think that the words “cool” and “geologic field trip” would go together, but Mars is a different [...]

I’m in a writing funk, but here are some pics of me standing in the middle of the next 5 inches of snow: Corner of Court and Atlantic Light and Trees Atlantic Avenue facing east

More snow – heavy stuff. NYC public school kids have already been told of closing! (of course, I’m still bitter about never having a snow day during my entire NYC public school life, and in high school, senior year, we had this one horrible winter when it should have been closed; ironically, schools did close, [...]

I have got to stay away from political stuff already, but – as the NY Times notes – these Vermont tapes of Dr. Dean’s gubernatorial days are fascinating for the nuance he has demonstrated in the past (but has been pressed to show these days). Then again, do voters want nuanced candidates (which Kerry sort [...]

Well, I’m all caught up on “Angel” now, and am eagerly awaiting for more. According to the tv guide and the commercials, this week’s “Star Trek: Enterprise” is back on a rerun, just when I was eager for it to push on already – and it’s a rerun that I didn’t particularly like (time-traveling episodes [...]

Dean, Lobotomized I saw snipits of that interview. Shocked to see Dr. Steinberg (aka the Mrs. Dean). Diane Sawyer made the same point I did and I think it’s totally appropriate: “Dr. Judith Steinberg, M.D., explained that she stays at home because she has her own private practice and my patients are my patients and [...]
