• Commented on Steampunk puzzle game preview
  I am not a big fan of steampunk (then WTF am I doing on Doctorow's blog?) Xeni, Mark, David, John, and some of Cory's non-fetish posts. That said, this game does look neat. The fact its art is rendered to...

  #125 POSTED BY DAVID PESCOVITZ: For the record, we didn't suggest that Platt stop posting. And I had absolutely no problem with him posting a dissenting or unpopular view on anything. That said, I do agree with the folks above...

  TELLER - “Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.” W F Buckley Very nice. If Cory didn't live in a dogmatic bubble, he...

  I should have included the word "texture" in my last post. BoingBoing, while certainly a directory of wonderful things, is also a touch monotonous. Your perspectives added texture that was a boon to this blog....

  It's a shame you're leaving, Charles. While I didn't agree with all of your posts, I think your challenging BB theology sparked interesting conversation....

• Commented on Worst Food in America 2009 edition
  The Large Chocolate Oreo Shake is merely the latest evolution of Le Bombe. Le Bombe was initially developed to kill Homer Simpson, and featured 25 pounds of butter, 1 million calories, and chocolate so dark, light could not escape it....
• Commented on Heathrow security defuses deadly rice-milk threat by insisting that it be decanted into baby-bottles
  I had a similar experience. I had a bottle of lotion in my carry on that apparently exceeded the volume limit. I objected to throwing it away, so the TSA worker said that I could pour it into a plastic...
• Commented on TED2009: Al Gore
  One argument I'm never crazy about in this debate is the one that references "record" conditions. We should keep in mind records are extremely new in geologic terms so their being broken is not terribly relevant. More compelling are samples...

• Commented on American Institute of Physics' history of the science of climate change
  You've now switched from "disagree" to "insult." Try to keep your points consistent if you actually wish to have a discussion. And the name is "Dayv," not "Davy." If that's difficult for you, feel free to copy and paste it...

  #19 Palilay - Has anyone else noticed that moderation policy on this blog has mysteriously and suddenly thawed in the last few days? It's brilliant. I've seen more impressive and intelligent discussion here lately than I have on this site...
• Commented on American Institute of Physics' history of the science of climate change
  Really, Davy? Have you seen how the moderators spring to action any time anyone insults His Royal Doctorow? Mind you, it's an effective means of suppression. I've never been disemvoweled. I've just learned from others that if you want to...

• Commented on American Institute of Physics' history of the science of climate change
  It's funny how people with casual interests in climate issues think they can have anything but ideological positions on the matter. The climate change debate is wildly complex and widely studied; to become an expert with a truly informed opinion...

  Nawel - yes, that's what I meant. I don't doubt the authenticity of the cake. The story, on the other hand, is a little too cute....
• Commented on Bakers make cake with image of flash drive instead of image in flash drive
  I hate those kids who yell "F4KE!!11" as much as the rest of us, but it strikes me as more likely this was a deliberately made cake by some funny people who then had a funny idea to post a...
• Commented on Kid on Drugs
  I don't see the problem here. Home videos of kids in comically compromised states are nothing new; this one's just on YouTube. The only downside is this might follow the kid around in his personal life, which would be unfortunate...
