Seems like most of the world’s DNS servers have got the news that TTLB has moved. Good for them. I’m a bit occupied with my first week on the new job, so don’t expect any major posting until next week (or perhaps the weekend). (The new job is going very well, I’m happy to say, […]

Blogcritics has announced the awards for the first annual Critiquees: check out the links below to see who in the music world is favored by the ‘sinister cabal of superior bloggers’: Album of the Year Song of the Year Songwriter of the Year Rock Album of the Year Country-Americana Album of the Year R&B Album […]
Salon DeathWatch, Part Infinity
Has anybody else noticed that the click-through “Day Pass” ad for Salon.com has been from Salon Personals for, well, a while? This can’t be generating business-model-redeeming revenues. Once I realized how quickly you could click through those ads (about five to ten seconds total time) without actually reading them, I went back to browsing Salon […]
Keep An Eye On ‘Em, Eugene
Speaking of privacy, Eugene Volokh just announced in an aside that he’s now a member of the “Privacy Committee of the Microsoft Trustworthy Computing Academic Advisory Board”: MICROSOFT PRIVACY COMMITTEE: I’ve just joined — together with a bunch of leading privacy law people — the Privacy Committee of the Microsoft Trustworthy Computing Academic Advisory Board, […]
Subpoena? We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Subpoena
First posted 2/17/03 LawMeme has a scoop on how eBay makes life easy for law enforcement. Maybe a bit too easy: Without a subpoena, eBay will provide the following information regarding an eBay user to law enforcement: Full Name, User ID, Email Address, Street Address, State, City, Zip Code, Phone Number, Country, Company, Password, Secondary […]

Seabrook Carnival
Small, Revolting Men
Since September 11th, Americans have struggled to understand the enemy that confounds us. The simplistic have assumed that we truly face a clash of civilizations. That America stands on one side of a great divide, with a hostile, opposing society on the other, with a vast gulf of incomprehension ensuring the two will never meet. […]
An Employed Bear
Notice something missing from the right sidebar? I know, it’s been there for what seems like an eternity. Blends in with the background; your eye had long since learned to just skip over it automatically. A plaintive cry for help… a blatant plug so pathetic in its earnestness, it might as well have simply said […]
If You’re British and Don’t Support Saddam, You’re Just Nobody
Note to British TTLB readers: Would one of you please ring Moira Redmond and have her over for tea, or whatever the appropriate English social ritual is? She needs to get out more: This weekend I made an extra trip to London to attend the massive anti-war demonstration there.. I have never known a political […]

Cross-Blog Iraq Debate: N.Z. Bear’s Answers
Well, it would be a bit of a cop-out if I didn’t answer the questions posed by the anti-war side of the Cross-Blog Iraq Debate, wouldn’t it? And so, sliding in just before tonight’s deadline, here are my own personal answers. 1. Attacking Iraq has been publicly called a “pre-emption” of a threat from Saddam […]

Watching the Hans & Mohamed Show Online
I’m assuming that the same stations which provided online video streams for Powell’s U.N. presentation will do so for today’s report. So check out WNBC (Windows Media). Update, post-Blix: That was a bloody train wreck. I think David Frum was correct: Blix’s report is a much bigger factor in the future relevance of the U.N. […]
Uncle Samwise Wants You!
Please Shut Up. I’m begging you.
My buddy Mohamed is opening his mouth again: “I think we still have a chance if we continue with our work, if Iraq provides full cooperation, we should still be able to avoid a war,” said Mohamed ElBaradei, who will also present a report to the council. In other news, ElBaradei stated that if he […]
Jonah: 1
French: 0
OK Corner groupies: If you want to listen to Jonah Goldberg beat up an actual Frenchman, then you should hop over to KCRW’s program page for To The Point. They are generally quite prompt about posting an archived RealAudio version of each program right after it is done airing, so figure a little after 2pm […]
