« Previous Entries Next Entries »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 […]
et al.: sadly, Santa fingered in Cheney office fire
Thursday, December 20th, 2007Sadly, boys and girls, it appears Santa won’t be making his normal rounds this year: he’s in the D.C. lockup because of his role in the Executive Office Building fire yesterday.
Hard to believe, but true.
It appears the kindly gent was so intent on making sure that Dick Cheney would have multiple lumps of coal in […]
et al.: Mighty Casey has struck out
Thursday, December 13th, 2007As you are no doubt aware, John Cheever had it right: “baseball is the thinking man’s [and, if it’s in Boston, at least, where Sox Mania is egalitarian, woman’s as well] sport.”
Having established that fact, it’s a sad day for those of us who love The National Pastime that so many supposedly top players have […]
et al.: More details on the Iraq blanket program
Tuesday, December 11th, 2007Here are some more details on the charitable program to provide new blankets to poor Iraqis that one of my son’s team members created and that my son took over when the guy was rotated back to the states. Regardless of what we may think about the war, this is a cheap, efficient way […]
et al.: Grrr: anyone else harassed by these spam bots?
Thursday, December 6th, 2007It seems I’m spending as much time getting rid of a plague of spam evidently generated by bots, all of which begin with variations (I won’t print the entire phrases here, to keep the bastards from getting more page hits, which I’m sure is the purpose of the shenanigans) on “While surf*** the Web, I […]
et al.: ohmygod — birthday present from No. 1 son!
Wednesday, December 5th, 2007Scrape me off the floor: my son, the Brave Soldier, is 35 today, and we got a birthday present from him today (sorta). We, and the other families in Medfield who have sons or daughters serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, have been invited to dinner on the 22nd with Curt and Shonda Schilling. Wish […]

et al.: prayers and good wishes appreciated
Friday, November 23rd, 2007In waiting room at Faulkner Hospital, waiting for my wife to begin 6 hours of surgery. Prayers and good wishes (hey, we’re Unitarians..) appreciated. Instead of the wisdom of crowds, this is a test of “swarm healing,” “healing by crowds,” “hive healing, and/or “emergent healing” — your choice!
