Roberts was confirmed and sworn in as Chief Justice today. He definately had the credentials, a lot of things broke his way, and I’m pretty convinced that he is not going to be a Scalia. However, Senator Richard Burr’s statement during the floor debate that I caught on the PBS NewsHour describes my worry about [...]

I should have mentioned this previously, but I’ll post this now — the passing of Don Adams, a.k.a. Maxwell Smart of the “Get Smart” tv show. Check out the NY Times obit, or the Associated Press article. I didn’t realize that he did the voice of Inspector Gadget, although that makes sense, since that was [...]

I was out cold today because I caught P-’s cold. Woke up with a splitting headache, so I took the day off and spent most of the day couched out and watching random things on TV, which turned out to be Discovery Channel. On to the recaps… Amazing Race: Family Edition looks like it’s a [...]

FC’s the real Amazing Race fan, so I’d rather let him comment on it. But, I’m watching the 1st episode of this season, and it’s kind of annoying (I mean, families of four? And, where are the other people of color? Only one African-American family? Come on, Asians go around the world too!). nice start [...]

This takes the cake. I can’t believe it is not a come on but it did get reported by the BBC! Don’t Coo at babies!

P caught a cold on Thursday, and she’s still suffering from it today. However, today was the Atlantic Antic, the annual Brooklyn street fair. P- and I plowed through paella, chorizo, conch fritters, beef brisket, and Sex in the City-sized cupcakes, and Virgin Island rum cake. Also picked up a Circulon Dutch Oven for only [...]

So you find yourself in a rut, nothing matters much, mostly tired and not motivated to do anything. You get tired of the same old, incessant repeat of the same issues day in and day out. How do you break out of it?

One of the cool things about Taiwan is the fact that it’s easy to meet famous people, like movie stars. Chin Han We were playing hoops at National Taiwan University and his old-school buddies came over and took us to school. The bell hasn’t stopped ringing. We’ll try again next week =YC

Thanks to the handy-dandy VCR, I’ve taped “Everybody Hates Chris,” so I’ll get to watch the show that the pro tv critics (and according to preliminary ratings, all other viewers) loved or were eager to try out. Eventually, anyway(Imagine if I had TiVo?)… Heavens knows, I’m a little behind on viewing things and reading things, [...]

Nifty. I think it hit me spot on (as far as these kinds of things go). Your Political Compass My results were: Your political compass Economic Left/Right: 0.13 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.15 Yeah, I’d say so. I’m as centrist as you can get :p (at least I try hard at being a moderate)
