So one of the things that keeps getting brought up regarding this whole “Hot Abercrombie Chick is a HOAX” situation is the fact that she’s allegedly “comment spamming” to game blogdex. Which really raises an interesting, if nerdy, question: what’s APPROPRIATE conduct online when it comes to indexing tools and services like these? So let’s start [...]

Ahhh… I’ve been bitching, griping, moaning, and groaning for weeks now to get Nicole OFF Of Blogspot… and she finally is. She’s still using Blogger, but blogger’s not so bad — as long as you’re not on BlogSpot. At any rate… go leave Nicole nice comments at her new home which looks JUST LIKE her old [...]

You know what gets on my nerves? Despite all the cool things going on here at Alabama, the only fucking time we make CNN is when something stupid happens. Case in point? U. of Alabama apologizes for slavery links. For starters, it wasn’t “The University” that apologized, it was the University’s Faculty Senate. Secondly, what in [...]

Never in my life have I been so happy to get a rejection letter… UCLA’s came today, not surprisingly at all (well, surprising that it came today, but not that it wasn’t favorable). That rejection means that I will be going to Indiana University School of Law in Bloomington, which I didn’t really think I’d [...]

A while back Michael posted some “interesting” thoughts on the issues of the day, and I (accidentally) hijacked his comment thread with this post. Amanda posted her take on the topic a few days ago (sorry I missed it!) Lots of really good thoughts here, definitely worth a read. The link doesn’t go right to [...]

Last week we had a small (read: freaking huge) hosting problem, and lost a LOT of data. Part of that lots of data was every poll that I’ve done since the beginning of the polling. Whoops. I’ve resurrected the polling engine, but we need some new polls to fill it up. Coincidently, I also find myself [...]

So I’ve dropped a few things into the Link Dump recently that you ought to read. Here they are… Nevada Woman Sues Coors over Son’s Death — Welcome to the 127th Edition of “Ways to Cheapen the Death of a Loved One!” It’s a damn shame this woman wasn’t the one that hit the telephone poll [...]

So it turns out that Wizbang is reporting an unconfirmed allegation that the Hot Abercrombie Chick is no chick at all. This doesn’t really bother me at all one way or the other, but it seems to be a major affront to the “Blogiverse” — now first, I’ve mentioned it before, the reason I love [...]

I’m tired — exhausted actually — so I can’t bring myself to work, but I also can’t sleep… probably owing to the ungodly amount of sleep I got last night. Anyway… After a good 3-1 start yesterday, we dropped all three games today… losing to Auburn, Vanderbilt, and Tulane (who we beat yesterday). People were sore [...]
