Wow, I like it!

I just finished Girlfriend by Holly Brubach. Holly was a fashion writer for the New Yorker and in this book she writes about drag for both men and women. In fact, one of her projects for the book was to participate in a group meeting of women who dressed as men and gave themselves new names...

I've moved to a new apartment and I subscribed to the WSJ again. You would think that since I know how the paper has changed and cancelled my subscription before, that I will not be complaining about it now that I've re-subscribed. But you would be wrong. I am still going to complain.

A fascinating story indeed. I often wonders what happens to criminals and other people who lived their lives in the margins of society as they get older and older. When the author's father was a young man living it up as a wealthy dope dealer, he probably never thought about how his live...

Hmmm, maybe so. Oftentimes when I'm googling information for a product I want to buy, there is a sponsored link that has a "Google Checkout" logo on it. I assume that if you have your payment info stored on Google, you could purchase the item easily with a single click. Maybe they could do...

by : Yahoo! Tech The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette is a rarity among large U.S. newspapers — it's selling more weekday copies than a decade ago. In Idaho, the Post Register's circulation has remained stable, while many other print publications have lost readers to the Internet. How can this be...

I read about this in some updated recent news stories over the last couple of weeks. There was an interview with a kid who was in the supposed "Trench Coat Mafia" at Columbine, I don't remember what television network I saw it on. There were two things about the interview that jumped out at...

One of the accesories listed for the Ford Fusion is an analog clock.

I learned cursive writing in second grade in 1973. I wonder if it's still being taught? I've been decluttering my apartment and threw all of my VHS tapes out about two weeks ago. I think about re-starting my newspaper subscription every day. However, I'm sure Murdoch doesn't think about...

Most of my books are business/finance. In elementary school I LOVED encyclopedias. Also, when I was on a ship in the navy we had an encyclopedia set that I would browse through. Today, however, wikipedia keeps me up until 3 in the morning. I think I like encyclopedias better than wikipedia. When...

http://www.cnn.com/2009/BUSINESS/05/07/murdoch.web.content/index.html Murdoch knows news much better than I, but I still think he's making a mistake. There is plenty of free news content online, and I won't pay one red cent to read it on any of Murdoch's sites. I don't really care too much...

The fact that negotiations have continued past the deadline tells me that management was bluffing.

The WSJ continues to arrive even though my subscription ended last week. It didn't arrive on Saturday, perhaps the delivery person who works that day was paying attention. Frankly, I'm having trouble adjusting to my new digital only format. I don't feel as informed as I should, and I don't...

This is an op-ed piece by L. Gordon Crovitz in today's Wall Street Journal. Notice that the memo written years ago by Kilgore is similar to the idea I mentioned earlier in this thread about newspapers going to a tabloid format. Kilgore was obviously a genius, why didn't the Herald take his...

The red table in the center keeps drawing my attention. Who is the guy leaning back with flailing arms and what's that on the table in front of him, an old Radio Shack computer? What do you think that book is is front of chairman Mao? Why in the world would Yasser Arafat be seated on a...

Here's a CNBC journalist who got flamed when he suggested that newspapers are done for: Some Flamemail Over Newspapers - Two Way Street with Allen Wastler and Tyler Mathisen - CNBC.com

Give away a free e-reader with a long term subscription? Interesting bit of sarcasm there. I recently cancelled my subscription to the print edition of the Wall Street Journal. I'm a stock market enthusiast and I like reading market data. Oddly, there is more stock market data available in...

I've watched some episodes of it on the iternet before, I thought it was very funny. However, just as I read this thread tonight, I started watching season 12 in the link provided by the OP. The first episode was making fun of HIV/AIDS and the second was making fun of Britney. I didn't make...
