• Commented on Wired editor bans PR flacks
  I feel his pain. At least three or four times a day I have to unsubscribe from some list or newsletter someone else decided I need to add to my reading list. As far as "information" goes, I have never...
• Commented on Andrew Keen gets it wrong again
  Keen's more intent on protecting his niche than getting it right. I sent you a long list of stories broken (not "aggregated") by bloggers a few weeks back that was a response to more of the same...O'll see if I...

• Commented on HOWTO make a flashing Mario Bros mushroom pumpkin
  I thought about trying this, but I think I'd just use the led-nightlight we've already got. Speaking of geek pumpkins: http://www.fantasypumpkins.com/2006-pumpkins/deathstar1.jpg...
• Commented on HOWTO make sugar skulls
  It's actually very easy. We use our molds to make paper mache versions, too, which we decorate with dimensional paint...they come out pretty close to the real thing, and you can keep them without getting mice. :-)...
• Commented on Taser death at Vancouver Airport
  They apparently waited a pretty long time before calling paramedics: http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20071025/airport_death_071025/20071026?hub=Canada...

• Commented on DHS: "Prior Governent Permission" rules for fliers, invasive dossiers
  I think that people are a lot more upset and angry about this than is commonly accepted- but what can you do? Can't vote it away, can't fight it without being disappeared, can't emigrate (nobody wants us.) It is the...
• Commented on Two-Hulk Halloween
  I think it's greta that he's doing that...I'm also wheat intolerant, and it would sure be nice to have garlic bread again someday....
• Commented on Harper's Weekly excerpt
  Actually, the lions weren't found next to the fence- they came to that guy looking for them when they vanished, and he admitted he'd buried them after his fence killed them....

  Har, har. :-)...
• Commented on HOWTO Add a "charred corpse" effect to a plastic skeleton
  I have a bucky corpse on my porch. Since putting him there, I haven't had any religious solicititation, and these people used to interrupt me daily. I might keep him there. Weirdly, some strange guy stopped by and kissed him....
• Commented on Iconic horror movie scream
  You guys posted this one almost exactly a year ago. :-)...
• Commented on Fun with Google's Image Labeler
  I did that for awhile earlier this year, but I got tired of all the people who can't spell but still insist on participating....
• Commented on Vatican publish Knights Templar documents
  This whole story has been very interesting. Even before Benedict became Benedict, he was investigating Templars. As for the conspiracy angles, there are a lot...anonymous "Templars" were making "apologize of we're telling on you" threats, and Ratzi was reportedly taking...
• Commented on Counterfeit $1 million bill
  I would call that "fake," not counterfeit. The latter implies intentional duplicity on the maker's part....
• Commented on Furniture made from aviation salvage
  My FIL sells aircraft salvage...used to have literal tons of this stuff lying aroun. The bomb bits always looked like rockets to me, so I had this fantasy about making a marvin-the -martian style playground......

  I would definitely wear that......

• Commented on Nail assist: concept gadget to keep you from hammering your fingers
  Why spend money when you have a comb or (as the previous reader mentioned) a piece of cardboard? This is consumerism at its silliest....
• Commented on Stylized Star Wars line-art tees
  These remind me of Muslinm calligraphy....

  One of my readers figured this one out yesterday; it's a promo for a local artist: http://www.paradox-carving.co.uk/paradox/...

  I know those- there are directions in Martha Stewart's halloween issue from last year...maybe on the website now?...
• Commented on My Guardian column on censorship versus copyright protection
  Wouldn't it be a great day if corporate entities were varred from copyright ownership? I would love to see what would happen if only originating artists were eligible for copyrights!...
• Commented on Disney kills its spy-on-your-kids phones
  "For some parents, statistics about the rarity of child kidnapping just don't allay their (arguably) exaggerated fears." I think it is exaggerated, and there's a different attitude now. When i was young, I walked to school (about 2 miles) with...
• Commented on How to filter out press releases from your email
  That's handy...I think more than half of what I get these days is press-release spam....
