Since this is the season of giving, I thought I’d give Frank W. Elliott Jr. a hand in his efforts to make a name for himself.
Just installed Spam Karma 2, haven’t looked at the config yet. Ping me with any commenting difficulties.
Dammit, I’ve been deliberately infected with a blogmeme. OK, here we go:
1. How much music do I have?
Probably between 300-400 CDs (it occurs to me that I haven’t listened to most of them in years), plus a bunch of stuff I’ve snagged from various MP3 blogs. And a ton of analog tapes of Brian Cleary’s [...]
Alex Singleton’s new and very focused blog puts TJIC’s lifties-posting to shame.
Ha!
Some nonsense words and a link to a bunch of HMC math tutorials.
Not only will I leave this odd bit of comment spam up, I might check out some tutorials - in case doing so might result in my making fewer embarrassing math errors on future poker nights…
Thanks, aetdzlutbxu!
From the always excellent mASS BACKWARDS:
Sometimes I think it’s the gyroscopic motion of all the dead patriots buried in Massachusetts spinning in their graves that keeps the planet aligned on its axis.
Hilarious.
Meandering through Marky Mark’s blog, I find this little gem (among many others, of course):
Toast171: NPR is playing some music featuring William Shatner singing
Thaurloteion: hes got a new album out
Toast171: Sometimes I think there is not enough regulation in the music industry
Thaurloteion: but i thought you were all about freedom of expression
Thaurloteion: and this is [...]
Wretchard’s far more eloquent than I am. But we both had the same thought (about the New Soviet / Socialist Man). Weird!
Days since first post: 29
Days since last post: 29
When will he post next? And on what?
You can cut the suspense with a knife.
Wordpress 1.5, now. So shiny! So new!
We should be safe(r?) from comment spam now.
Google steps in:
If you’re a blogger (or a blog reader), you’re painfully familiar with people who try to raise their own websites’ search engine rankings by submitting linked blog comments like “Visit my discount pharmaceuticals site.” This is called comment spam, we don’t like it either, and we’ve been testing a new tag that blocks [...]
Comments are back on by default, per TJIC demand. Haven’t had time to do any adminy things yet, but spam levels have been really low so hopefully it won’t be much of a problem. I’ll periodically check for crap we don’t want and delete it, until I get some plug-ins installed later in the week.
We’re running WordPress 1.2.2 now. Spam-thwarting measures coming soon.
Little nuggets of cool, floating in a sea of crap.
(just checking to see if you’re reading, dude!)
UPDATE: the particular turd referenced above has been flushed, and replaced with a blog.
OK, so maybe I was wound a little tight during the last bit of the election. For a while I couldn’t seem to read much besides political coverage. If you felt like that too, and like me, you’re starting to chill out a little and your blogreading habits are starting to return to normal, definately [...]
tjic: hey, group blogging might be fun!
dff: ok, everybody can use AE.
…
rlc: what happened to all the damn posting??
tjic: i don’t know what to write, or where to write it - i’ve got too much freedom! group blogging sucks!
I know many of the readers probably saw this on InstaPundit, but damnit, it’s good enough that it deserves to be independently referenced here:

If you don’t have enough snarkiness in your life, check out Josh Reads the Comics so You Don’t Have To.
I may have mentioned this to some people before, but check out Mom’s Cancer.
It’s an (excellent) amateur webcomic by someone chronicling what his mother went through.
It may well strike too close to home for some, but it’s really well done and worth a read.
