South Carolina Rift Highlights Debate Over G.O.P. →
I try not to traffic in hyperbole on political issues, but the conservative chatter that’s going on right now has an incredible ring of McCarthyism bordering on fascism. Yes, there are always those who will stir the pot, especially when a liberal is in the White House. Rush Limbaugh owes his career to the Clintons, and Ruby Ridge and Waco stoked the fires of the militia movement, which...
What’s up, tumblr? You’re just carrying on with your “interesting” “posts” as if you don’t even care that The Holy War is going on between BYU and my Utes. Judgemental Jesus and I are judging you.

On a post I had written about digital content. It was written in haste, and, as such, was filled with some sloppy thinking.
Part of it was a bad assumption on my part, that the “digital version” would be essentially “Save as PDF”-esque quality, which Sean assures me it isn’t.
His strongest point (IMO, at least :-) was that the creation of the content is where the cost is...

Anyone who’s seen my iTunes song list knows I’m a bit of a completist, but I’m far from a connoisseur of orchestral music. I know what I like and I have some favorites. I’m partial to the Romantics and usually list “Symphony Fantastique” by Hector Berlioz as my favorite piece, but it’s also one of maybe 10 pieces I would recognize if you played it. I like...
Geek Post: New tumblr iPhone App
It’s long overdue and far from perfect but a huge improvement over the previous version. Both viewing and posting photos is better. Browsing is way better and clicking through to links or tumblr sites is miles ahead of where it used to be. It’s also great that they enabled video uploading and dumped Vimeo and their stupid embargo. How fucking dumb was it that Vimeo made you wait 90...
WatchThis is the etherreal end of “Chicago” by Sufjan Stevens. The boy has decided that it, along with “Underdog” by Spoon and “Campus” by Vampire Weekend, are his favorite songs and we must listen to them every day before and after school. On one hand, I feel like a douchey hipster dad who’s teaching his son to be a snob. On the other hand, when he does...

So we’re just never going to give Jeter the MVP, huh? Even though he deserved it? AGAIN? Fine, Other Recognizable Twin, enjoy that.
Jeter has never deserved the MVP and never will. And I like the Yankees.
Charlie Brown: Thanks for the Christmas card you sent me, Violet.
Violet: I didn’t send you a Christmas card, Charlie Brown.

25 Things
These have gone around a couple of times and I don’t mean to start things off again — I just haven’t posted to tumblr for a while and I’m feeling a little I-don’t-knowish this morning and thought I’d go back to the start with one of those 25 Things posts, which was one of the first ones I put on tumblr.
1. Like our 33rd president, Harry S. Truman, I have no middle...
