Hugh Hewitt writes of tonight’s debate, Overall: Bush gets a big win, by hiting all his messages over and over again. He wins on substance. Biggest mistake by Kerry: “The Global Test.” Sorry, the American voters aren’t interested in passing any global tests. Bush stresses steadfastness and resolve. Kerry firmed up the hard-left vote, but…

Last year I noted how cool the Marvel Comics CDRom was. That package featured the first 10 issues of ten Marvel comic books. Apparently that sold well enough that Marvel is upping the ante ahead of the DVD release of Spider-Man 2 with the The Amazing Spider-Man Fortieth Anniversary Collection. This time around, the collection…

Wes Felter and Seth Dillingham are both skeptical of audio blogging. The bottom line, as far as I’m concerned, is that audio is too slow of a medium for imparting information. I can read text much faster than I can listen to audio, which is why most of us only listen to spoken audio when…

My wife turned me on to E-Baying many months ago and for a few months I was helplessly in its grips. I was bidding on hundreds of auctions trying to get some rare action figures at reasonable prices. Then I just stopped cold turkey and hadn’t gone back. Until this week. Someone I don’t know…

When I first started using what was then called FireBird and is now FireFox it was for one, and only one, reason — I had grown to hate Internet Explorer for all of the usual reasons. The tabbed browsing was a big plus, but I was ultimately just trying to get away from IE. As…

Boing! Boing! offers a nice example of the sort of mindless Liberalism that pervades on left wing sites these days (and while Boing! Boing! is largely a techie/culture site, its increasingly frequent political posts are mindlessly Liberal). Boing! Boing! has posted numerous rants against the Patriot Act, some of which I agreed with and others…

Engadget notes a very funny Ebay auction for a Kryptonite bike lock with a twist on the keys (why go metal when you can go ballpoint?)

Furl.Net recently got bought out by LookSmart. Good for them. I don’t use their service anymore, but it is a good idea and its creators deserve to get rewarded. Which reminded me that I wanted to post the two major reasons that I abandoned Furl in favor of the Slogger plug-in for FireFox which does…

On Friday, Engadget wrote about Ongo Bongo, a service that offers Netflix-style rentals of CDs for $22/month. They have some sort of initial offering where if you pay $264 up front for a year’s service, they’ll throw in an IPod mini. This is proably a scam, and if it isn’t then it’s going to get…

According to this story, Ed Morrissey Jr. was the man who swore George W. Bush into the Air National Guard and has some interesting opinions. He doesn’t think Bush received any sort of preferential treatment to get into the Guard, but what made me laugh out loud was Morissey’s views on the controversy over whether…
