on wikipedia politics
I love the politics of Wikipedia, especially when the “size of your manhood” debate rears its ugly, pointless head. Case in point: the current uproar over the entry for Annabel Port, one of the co-hosts of “The Geoff Show” on Virgin Radio. Somebody suggested that Ms. Port’s entry be deleted as she is “of insignificant …
think peaceful thoughts for molly
If you read any commentary pieces in the newspaper or online, you’ve undoubtedly run into the brilliant, witty work of Molly Ivins. She’s a Texan who has held BushCo and other dimwitted political types to the fire for years – often having her readers doubled over in laughter along the way. As many of Molly’s …
while the girls hang out, i shop and watch
As I mentioned yesterday, sprite and her friends spent a lovely afternoon hanging out – click here to read about it. Meanwhile, I headed over to Arlington, Virginia, to do a little shopping and movie viewing. The shopping was nothing exciting: bought lunch fixings (deli stuff, nothing special), looked through magazines and books at Barnes …

Thanks to a thread posted at the WordPress Support Forums by Sam, I was able to get the “next page/previous page” links to reappear. It seems that the Adhesive plugin isn’t …
ironing out the kinks
Okay, so the transition to WordPress 2.1 is not without a few issues. As Sam pointed out, the “Categories” on the right-hand side are all messed up. Apparently, WordPress 2.1 has reconfigured how a “category” is defined. Thus, the line between blogroll categories and post categories has been effectively erased. Try the links for “cycling” …
urban cycling in dc
The mild climate of DC this winter means that more people have been cycling to work this winter. That’s a good – no, a great thing! I love that people are willing to breathe in a little crisp air, turn their pedals, wake up a bit on their way into work. All the same, you …
