Today at his blog, Oregonian reporter Jeff Mapes takes a swipe at the DSCC for poking fun at Gordon Smith's uber expensive golf clubs: Once again, the Democrats are accusing Sen. Gordon Smith, R-Ore., of being wealthy. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has put out a new web video making fun of Smith's oft-reported purchase of four rare golf clubs in 1994 that set him back $1.25 million.

Not that I’ve been paid yet… or will earn very much, but my book has gone off to the publisher, and I’m just finishing up a shorter project for a British guide book (all I can say at this point), and am starting on a commissioned project to write a short history of Mazatlán, intended for the tourist trade and gringo colony. I’m using “gringo” in the broad sense… we have a huge colony of both U.S. and Canadian retirees and winter residents here (including French-Canadians), and a sprinkling ofThe Dark Matter of the Soul
In astrophysics and cosmology, dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter that [cannot] be observed directly, but whose presence can be inferred from gravitational effects on visible matter . . . The composition of dark matter is unknown. . . (Wikipedia). Ah yes. Dark matter, that holy grail of cosmologists, that elusive, invisible something that explains how the universe can be what it is. In fact, it supposedly comprises the largest chunk of stuff in the universe. It cannot be obseUK Umbraco meet up
In a previous post about CodeGarden 08, I asked people to get in touch if they'd be interested in a UK Umbraco meet up. I've had a fair few people get in touch so I think it's something worthwhile pursuing further. The nest stage from my POV is working out the location and potential content of the meet so I thought I'd open it up to the floor.

In Scotland you can marry at 16, but to have to wait 33% of your life again to be able to toast your nuptials does seem a bit weird.

Lucy Kellaway was on a mission to get rid of the corporatese phrase "going forward" that she hated so much, and wrote a post about it on the BBC Magazine. Her post garnered so much reaction that the BBC culled the top 50 office-speak phrases that should definitely be banned. For example: 1. "When I worked for Verizon, I found the phrase going forward to be more sinister than annoying.

Our favorite phone thrower, supermodel Naomi Campbell plead guilty today to assaulting two police officers during an altercation at London's Heathrow Airport on April 3. The abusive beauty could face up to SIX months in jail as well as costly fines if the harshest sentence is applied at Uxbridge Magistrates Court, according to The Associated Press.

Turquoise and Red. Or green and purple. Blue and yellow. Opposites on the color wheel. For some reason which I haven’t yet figured out, our culture has fallen into an all-or-nothing way of thinking. It’s all my way—and of course, my way is right—therefore every other way is all wrong. This trend is more surprising in light of the “tolerance movement,” but that’s a subject for another day.
