Read it. And don’t say we never tell you anything useful.

Read it. Business models are mutating like nobody’s business. It’s a great time to be alive.

Get some. I am not making this up.

Read it. Or maybe not. Nobody really knows.

Read it. Wouldn’t mind having one of these.

Read it. Some people have entirely too much time on their hands. Not that that there’s anything wrong with that.

Read it. So when the taxman takes an arm and a leg, you can get substitutes. But, under HillaryCare, you’ll have to wait two years.

Read it.

Read it. Truly, this is a great time to be alive.

Read it. The superhero’s best friend.

Read it. From reader Cathy, who knows some very strange people.

This says something about our culture, although I’m not sure exactly what.

Read it. Someday the public will wake up to the fact that college faculty don’t really give a shit about teaching, but are all about research and publication; teaching is the K.P. they have to do to keep up their affiliation with the gravy train.

Say you’re an Assistant Professor at Harvard (or Stanford, or MIT, or UCLA). Do you get tenure for being a good teacher? Nope. You get tenure for research and publication. In fact, if you spend too much time being a teacher and not enough time being a researcher and writer, you can hose yourself, career-wise.

So this makes perfect sense. Rather than spend six hours a week in front of a bunch of pimply adolescents, spend a couple hours doing a real good video, put it on the net, and go back to what’s going to bring in the bucks.

Read it. I still want the system where the chimp comes out of the trunk, clocks the guy on the back of the head, dumps the body in the river, and buttons back up. That would be worth paying for. Not worth buying a GM car to get, of course, but surely somebody else will provide a comparable system soon enough.

Read it. The future of computing. And you saw it happen.

Read it. Pretty cool.

Read it. Encouraging news.

We’ve never denied being members of the vast right-wing conspiracy; we just wish it were a little vaster.

And you can’t say any fairer than that.

I look forward to perhaps one day getting at least an Honorable Mention in one of these conspiracy theories. My family would be very proud.

Read it. If that headline doesn’t wake you up, you’re dead.

Read it. Hah! You think that those blister-pacs were impossible to open now? Just wait!

Read it. It’s not your daddy’s Army any more.

Read it. My, what a surprise. Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.

Read it. Let’s hear it for sprawl.

Have you noticed how progs always make up derogatory names for people doing what they want to rather than what the progs want?

Read it. In case you were wondering. I know I was.

Read it. Now you can know faster than ever that you’re abnormal. Enjoy.

Read it. Insight into the souls of those who read the New York Times.

Read it. This is kinda cool. YUCK YUCK YUCK
