I thought I was mostly done blogging on WordPress, having decamped for the lazier, instantly gratifying, and more-heavily-commented-on pastures of Facebook. But then today I read a hilariously bad oped from Michelle Malkin, one of Fox News’ finer hate spewers, regarding the shooting in Tucson and I couldn’t help myself.

Last year my predictions for a cold and snow drenched winter sort of came true. I got the snow part right, but where it wound up falling, I got wrong. The mid-Atlantic got hammered and we in the Northeast didn’t get all that much.

The MTA has been defiling New Yorkers of their hard-earned money for years. Not all of them, but a lot of the people who work for the MTA, are lazy, apathetic, amoral slobs who deserve to be fired.
Sign this electronic petition to stop the impending obscene fare hikes! Don’t let them punish us, the paying [...]

Teton Gravity consistently puts out some of the best ski movies every year. They’ve arguably got the roster with the biggest names and they go to some very cool, gnarly locations to shoot. Granted, last year’s Re:Session, in addition to trying to use a ridiculous metaphor/analogy for the financial meltdown of ‘08-’09, was not their [...]

Weather.com and Accuweather.com recently got face and functionality lifts bringing them up to speed with the rigors of realish-time communication and every other way the internet has changed in the past 5 years.
Weather.com posted a link to what their site looked like in 1996: http://www.weather.com/newscenter/slideshow/preview.html
