A friend recently passed this onto me via e-mail. I thought that it was such a wonderful insight into a poignant moment in Mr. Carson’s life that I’d plop it up here. Hope you enjoy.

Someone In A Tree: My View of Johnny Carson’s Last Night
by Marc [...]
I recently concluded an interesting dialogue with the Netflix people. Since I’m reprinting it in full, I’ll just dive right in:
Chicagoans have a right, at this point, to start getting exceptionally pissed with the Chicago Transit Authority, and, if they wish, with Mayor Richard Daley, too.
The CTA has just decided to pull a double-whammy announcement on Chicagoans. Their first announcement is that their Brown Line reconstruction project is $22 million over budget, and, as [...]
There’s been a lot of discussion of taxonomies on the Internet — tagging systems, in other words. I spent a little bit of free time at work yesterday cleaning up my own tagging system at del.icio.us. I removed some misspelled words, etc.
One thing I did was introduce a modifier: “as.hell“. I had [...]
Technorati Profile
Hi. Nope, nothing to see here — keep looking at Salubrity, Running Scared, and my del.icio.us linklog. Just “claiming” the blog for Technorati, which necessitates a new post.
I just gotta say … holy shit, did Apple roll out some cool stuff this time ’round. My next computer may be a Mac Mini for all I know. (But could they have come up with a more emasculating name?!?!) And the iPod Shuffle is schweet-lookin’.
They’ve got me reaching for my wallet. [...]
Damn it.
A girl died in 1933 by a homicidal murderer. He buried her in the ground when she was still alive. The murdered chanted, “Toma sota balcu” as he buried her. Now that you have read the chant, you will meet this little girl. In the middle of the night she will be on your [...]
I’m not normally a memewhore, but there have been a few useful and/or interesting ones going around the blogosphere lately. I yoinked this one from my sister as well. I believe this is called the “timeline meme.”
25 years ago — 1980. Six years old. I have no specific memory of this [...]

Q: I hear one of the balls will be reserved for troops who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan.
A: Yes, the Commander-in-Chief Ball. That is new. It will be about 2,000 servicemen and their guests. And [...]
Q: How many hipsters does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: What, you mean you don’t KNOW?
Decided I’m going to get myself up-to-date with The Sopranos, and added every single season currently available through Netflix to my queue. Considering that Season 6 is evidently going to air God-knows-when, I evidently have plenty of catch-up time:
HBO has announced Thursday that the sixth and final season of the popular mob drama won’t [...]
Just wanted to say that if you are any kind of a romantic, and you’ve not seen the duet films of Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, you need to. They’ve instantly won a place in my heart this Monday afternoon.
“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t to forget make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next [...]
