Sunday, January 27th, 2008Yes, the rumors ARE true: my favorite Patriot (no, not those Patriots..) and erstwhile presidential candidate, Stephen Colbert, is now “following” me on Twitter.
A high honor, indeed, but one, dear reader, that entails effort on my part. I refer, of course, to the imperative that I increase this blog’s TRUTHINESS. Lord knows, I have […]
et al.: lest we forget why today is a holiday
Monday, January 21st, 2008Lest we forget why today is a national holiday (not to mention MLK’s less-remembered leadership in opposition to the Vietnam War !)– and you can bet that if he’d lived, he’d be in the front lines of opposition to the Iraq travesty.

et al.: Site redesign courtesy of Lolinator
Saturday, January 19th, 2008I belatedly realized, due to the good people at Lolinator, that my blog design was both “cat-hostile” and was poorly edited. Now it’s been redesigned, and I hope that you (not to mention your cat) will appreciate the changes.

et al.: Oh happy day!
Saturday, January 19th, 2008I’m so grateful: my son has returned from Iraq (of course, if McCain is elected, there’s a good chance that he’ll go back during the 100 years we’ll be involved there…), and starts at the Pentagon in strategy and policy on Feb. 1.

et al.: that’s my boy!!
Thursday, January 10th, 2008Oops! just popped the buttons on my shirt, burstin’ with pride about my first-born, Major Alexander Stephenson, who the Boston Globe profiled this Sunday in their West regional edition.
They did it because of the Soldiers Helping Those in Need-Iraq program to buy new blankets (come on, folks, who can’t afford $6.75??) which volunteer troops then […]
et al.: Neat: real-time, blog-based primary coverage!
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008Thanks to Blue Gal for passing this on: real-time, blog-based primary coverage! Hope it includes Twitter tweets from the polls, as in Iowa. Real-time is the name of the game in everything from voting to homeland security and publicdata

et al.: word cloud comparison of Obama/Clinton Iowa remarks
Monday, January 7th, 2008I thought it might be illustrative as we head into the last day of the New Hampshire campaign to do a side-by side comparison of Many Eyes word clouds (vs. tag clouds…) I created of Obama’s and Clinton’s remarks after the Iowa caucuses, to see which words they emphasized. This, in turn, might highlight differences […]
et al.: Yikes — a terms of services you can understand!
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008I just signed up for Jiglu, a widget that automatically generates blog tags.
I’m afraid they’re going to get drummed out of the Developers Fraternity, because of their terms of service agreement (first flaw: you can actually read the entire thing without having to scroll down about 20 screens. second flaw: it’s written in plain […]
et al.: Schillings are astonishingly generous
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007My family and I just returned from the dinner that Curt and Shonda Schilling hosted for families in our area who have sons or daughters in Iraq or Afghanistan.
I won’t go into detail, because they’re very modest and self-effacing about their philanthropy, be it national, on finding cures for ALS and skin cancer, or in […]
et al.: I marched with Mitt Romney. Well sorta metaphorically
Friday, December 21st, 2007.. well, actually, I think I may have seen him on TV, because I spotted that incredibly coiffed hair….
That loud pfffft sound you hear is the air being let out of Mitt Romney’s campaign, after his tortured explanation of how he “saw” his father marching with MLK. Kinda like when he was moved to tears […]
