Commented on All of Mojo Nixon in free, legal MP3 -- US ONLY
I saw Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper 20 years ago opening for the Pogues at an outdoor concert in Washington DC. They put on a great show, and when the Pogues came on, Shane McGowan was much too drunk to...

Commented on Why ad-blockers, ad-skippers and other user-control technologies are legal
If I am hoping to find some specific content, and I get an ad instead, I am 0% likely to change my mind and decide I want the ad's content. I can't imagine anyone who would not make the same...

Commented on Boing Boing: The World's Greatest Neurozine!
Funny, I hit "reply" to Ark's comment above, so I was expecting to see some quoted text in the comment box. Is this still in the works? Anyway, I'll have to quote it myself: Anyone unfortunately seeing Comic Sans, should...

Commented on The ecologist who found his wedding ring
"dropped his wedding ring in the murky waters of a New Zealand just months after he and his wife Rachel got hitched" Which New Zealand? If it was a really small one, I don't see the problem. ;)...

Commented on Boing Boing: The World's Greatest Neurozine!
It's working better now than it was last night! =D Happy birthday Boing Boing! The redesign is a step forward. I'll second the call for a "recent comments" ticker on the right somewhere. I'll also second the notion that while...

Commented on Boing Boing's Moderation Policy (Archived)
If you are experimenting with a new design format, it's not going well. When I click on any "permalink" or on a post's title in the comments, I get a screen that looks like this: http://i329.photobucket.com/albums/l367/nosehat/bbscreencap1.jpg FYI...

Commented on Conservapedia proposes de-liberalized Bible
I'm actually dying to see what they'd do with Matthew 19:21 Or the sermon on the mount. Or "Thou Shalt Not Kill" for that matter. Unintentional comedy indeed!...

Commented on OUTRAGE: documentary outs anti-gay politicians who are secretly gay
@#6 Foetusnail: Try this, we don't care if they are gay; nor do we care who or what they do, as long as it is consensual. We support equal rights. Yes, perhaps that's the most compassionate, consistent approach to such...

Commented on Business Reply Mail pamphlet encourages office workers to revolt
This is one of the best solutions I've seen for this kind of thing. I used to send them back with random bits of newspaper or other detritus stuffed inside, until I realized I wasn't so much sticking it to...

Commented on Vampire-hunting technologies of yore
This may shock you, but at least some of these are hoaxes. I'm not aware of a single one of these that's an actual historical artifact. Makes me wonder if there's a thriving market for saints' finger bones and whatnot...

Commented on Kill Al-Qaeda in Three Easy Steps
@#1 Xeni: Unfortunately, it looks like plenty of other self-published books' websites. I agree, the jacket quotes are a stitch. As though someone would say "Why, I am also 32 years old. This must be the book for me!"...

Commented on Banned Books Week and "most challenged titles" of 2008!
Books can be banned for having a religious viewpoint? Seems like the fundies are opening a real can of worms with that one. The only reason for banning a book that's at all rational on this list is "unsuited for...

Commented on Nalo Hopkinson, writing mentor for hire
I sincerely hope she has drawn up a contract that clearly stipulates exactly what her responsibilities are (and aren't) in this arrangement. I wish her the best of luck with this! But I can also imagine this turning into a...

Commented on Untitled 1
Yes, Buddy66, the rebuke seemed way out of line, and really out of nowhere. Perhaps a private conversation was taking place that spilled over in this way? Takaun is thick skinned. Also note, the arbitrary rebuke came from someone who...
