Do you blog like a girl?
Fri Apr 20, 2007
- It thinks I blog like a man. Not quite sure how to take that... :)
Va. Tech Gunman Writings Raised Concerns

- Anti-depressants fix a symptom, not the cause. Drugs without some sort of talk therapy do nothing, and he clearly was not in therapy.
Random Act of Vineness: Killfile
Tue Apr 17, 2007
- Killfile truly earned this with what he's been doing the past two days - the willingness on his part to continually update his entries and talk to us in spite of what was going on really showed how much he cared for, and how dedicated he is to this community. Congratulations Killfile!
Va. Tech Gunman Writings Raised Concerns
Tue Apr 17, 2007
- He's a "disturbed teenager" or "disturbed young man" in the eyes of the media, therefore "impressionable" and can be influenced by video games. Jack Thompson already jumped on this yesterday, and if they find an actual gaming console? It's all over...."evil, evil games made him do it."
Menu Foods Exec Sold Half His Shares 3 Weeks Before Company's Recall Of Poisoned Pet Food
Thu Apr 12, 2007
- My cat died on Wednesday from renal failure. There's a level of faith we have to put in the places that make the cat food we buy, and this is disgusting. Not only have they killed hundreds of animals, but this guy's made a profit.
Airbag Blog Advisory System - Because words sometimes hurt

Paralyzed and Awake During Surgery
Wed Apr 11, 2007
- The only thing I've ever truly watched on tv (or in a movie) through my fingers was a scene where this happened on Nip/Tuck. Really, really scary thought.
Mystery cat takes regular bus to the shops
Mon Apr 9, 2007
- same here with my cat - I don't think she'd "lower herself" to the world of public transportation, she's too much of a little prissy snot for that. :)
The Nation's Weather
Mon Apr 9, 2007
- It's still hard to accept the idea of global warming when we just had SNOW in Washington DC in April. We definitely did have a warmer winter than usual, but the snow now is also about as strange as things come.

Michael Crichton wrote this New York Times OpEd piece commenting on a Supreme Court case involving the infringement of a patent - a patent held for an actual scientific fact. He uses the case to examine the state of patents today, where people can get patents for listing a house.
