buy stuff!
So you can now buy Buzz Rant & Rave t-shirts. They are most stylish and I highly recommend buying 10 or 20 for all of your closest friends. 🙂

This is not easy to do, but I’m telling you, no terrorist campaign has ever succeeded, and this one won’t if you don’t give it permission. You can have the most exciting time in human history, but we have to defeat people who think they can find their redemption in our destruction. Then we have to be smart enough to get rid of our arrogant self-righteousness so that we don’t claim for ourselves things that we deny for others. Then in the end, we’ve got to be able to stand up and say, we are not against Islam, but we want to have a clear understanding about what we think is the nature of truth, the value of life, and the content of community. If we do that, you will still live in the best time the world has ever known.
Al Quaeda is Arabic for “The Base.” So really, the goal of this war is to make All Your Base Are Belong to U.S.!
Summer in the city can be miserable. last week, particularly was brutal. While it’s 95 degrees out, asphalt makes it worse. Then there’s the subway– at least 110. This is why the rich used to flee to the Catskills for the summer. Now we just have air conditioning, the best invention of the twentieth century. Of course, after getting a haircut, my head feels about 10 degrees cooler.
Another Andrew Raff (from Australia) emailed me today. It’s like my evil twin from the southern hemisphere. (or maybe I’m the eeevvil one…) very cool.
I guess Steve Jobs and Steve Case don’t watch Survivor since Apple or AOL didn’t pony up the big bucks (like Visa) to be mentioned in the RC despite being featured. They even had to tape over the Apple logo on the Powerbook G3…
My alto needs to be fixed up. There is definately something wrong with it. (See, it is the horn!)
This weekend doesn’t look like it will be as nice for skiing as last weekend, but anyday on the hill is a good one. I might as well take advantage of it while I can.
so this is the beginning of year 23 for me… That’s scary. Hopefully it will be a calmer year where I feel more in control of where I’m going and what I’m doing rather than letting outside forces determine it for me. hey, it’s that old determinist vs. free will argument again. I’m all about free will. and free food.
I’ve started reading Ironminds again. It’s like Buzz Rant & Rave, but with copy editing. And having been bought out by an ambitious company and then returned to the land of zero money. And the site tech probably works better than ours.
You’ve got to love the weird mix of music played in the nyc subways. At the Times Square station this morning I heard both Let it Be played on pan flute and the theme from the Godfather played on a zither.
This page has the story behind why Tufts has the gravity stone.
Well, I’ve got no car, but I do have a new job. woo-hoo. It’s at eMarketer. I got the offer this week, finally accepted today and am starting monday. Having money is nice.
ESPN does great advertising. The Sportscenter NJ Day celebration ad is cool, as it features Ken Daneyko and Bon Jovi.
Yesterday was a bad day for sports. Not only did my Giants get routed in the Super Bowl, but because Ottowa got routed, my Smallworld hockey team had a negative day.
At least Survivor 2 looks like it has the potential to be entertaining as much as season 1 did. who knows? (beyond Mark Burnett, of course). Speaking of reality tv, what’s going to happen with Destination Mir?
I’ve been very lazy about writing stuff here recently. That’s attributable to: 1. moving and not having reliable net access at home until this week. 2. not having a job right now. yep, I got dot-canned. (ahem..resume…ahem) and 3. writing a lot for Buzz Rant & Rave.
But now that Dubya is the president, I still don’t think of him that way. I still think of Clinton as the president, Dubya as the victorious loser, and that when people talk about President Bush, they’re referring to Poppy Bush.
Not having an internet connection at the new Buzz Rant & Rave World Headquarters (aka the apartment) is getting very annoying…
