William F. Buckley

February 27th, 2008 | 0 Comments | Politics |

About fifteen years ago a friend had an extra ticket to go see a taping of two episodes of “Firing Line,” Buckley’s talk-show forum which he shared with Michael Kinsley at the time. While my own political views are pretty much the opposite of his, I came away impressed. He was honest, funny — articulate [...]

February 27th, 2008 | 0 Comments | Politics |

Wasted an hour-and-a-half watching the Dem debate last night. While we’re waiting for Anthony Cartouche — who was actually there in person — to post his report, this sums it up for me nicely.

Wrapping Text Around An Image

February 21st, 2008 | 1 Comment | Tech Stuff |

Over in our pages section, a white paper (a dark blue paper?) on a method for making text wrap nicely around an irregularly shaped image, just like in print.

February 13th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Home |

Legend has it that Eskimos have dozens of different words for snow. The word they have for what came down yesterday must have four letters. I knew to be wary before I even pulled out of my driveway, as someone in an SUV decided to run the red light in front of my house, cutting [...]

My VCR Is Obsolete

February 12th, 2008 | 0 Comments | Entertainment |

I used to set my VCR to tape certain TV shows when I had to be out for a rehearsal. Funny how the only shows I like are on the nights I regularly have rehearsals. But — and don’t ask me why it took me so long to figure this out — the last few [...]
