Today is a Sad Day
6Jun2007 Filed under: Posts Author: DeanToday is a sad day for four main reasons.
- Most importantly - A journalist was arrested for asking a politician from Giuliani’s camp a tough question. This is a disgrace and a clear violation of the American Constitution. The journalist did nothing against the law - sure, he was overpersistent, but that’s not against the law - yet he now faces felony charges. All that the politician had to do was reply, “I’m not going to answer your question” - but, instead, he released the hounds. I’m not typically one to get all that worked up about politics but that, my internet friends, is a sign of fascism, not democracy.
- Portland’s free wi-fi sucks.
- Bob Barker is retiring from The Price is Right. His last show was taped today, and will air next Friday (June 15th).
- Orb isn’t featured in the Webware 100 awards. At least Netvibes and Pandora are on there.

About this blog
Hi. I'm Dean. Welcome to Dean(ish). I don't blog nearly as much as I used to, but I'm trying to get better. What do you expect when I have a full-time job, a wife, two kids, a cat, a fish, a leopard gecko, and a (semi-recently manifested) lack of creativity? At least I have a Twitter now. You can also check me out on Netvibes and Facebook. View my "complete" profile.

Umm. I added HTML to a picture of the Yurt Camping trip. I guess wordpress doesn’t like HTML in comments?

WordPress likes HTML in comments, it just doesn’t like you.

I just checked your comment - you put in a link to the image, but no text to link with:
[a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/burchs/545539110/" title="Photo Sharing" rel="nofollow"][/a](I replaced the brackets with anchors so you could see what I’m talkin’ ’bout.)
You would either need to do:
[a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/burchs/545539110/" title="Photo Sharing" rel="nofollow"]Yurts are awesome[/a]-or-
