In the previous post, I linked to this, which points out that an arrest has been made in the case. An arrest. For “planting” LED caricatures of a cartoon character. From the article:
Peter Berdvosky was arrested in Arlington Wednesday night and charged under a recently enacted statute making it a crime to [...]

If you can pick the bomb from these two, you’re not from Boston:
Maybe Turner Broadcasting should have thought this through a little more, but I still can’t see how this marketing ploy gone awry caused everyone to get into such a lather.
If I hear “post-911 world” one more time, I’m gonna scream. Or load [...]

This morning, SWMBO and I took the plunge, outfitting ourselves with our first of the stage 1 Nicoderm patches before we left the house. And all in all, it wasn’t too bad. There were some immediate benefits; I was ready to leave the house at 6:45, as opposed to my usual 7:00, thanks [...]

OK, my NNW aggregator is now free of *meme* sites. There’s no need to subscribe to Techmeme to find the blatherings of the A-lister echo chamber. Such writings are easily stumbled upon in the normal course of blog reading, and there’s no need for a concentrated dose.

Regular commenter PJ Cabrera has noticed this blog’s unaccountable fascination with Tasers. Between the home improvement, and working like a dog at my real job, I haven’t had the chance to comment on this Taser-related post at PJ’s Place. Indeed, I wouldn’t have seen it, except for PJ’s blog. There’s pointage to [...]

On arriving home from work tonight, I observed SWMBO’s green Saturn occupying its regular parking spot. The spot that used to be the PODS’. As utilitarian a device as it was, I’m glad to see it gone. Another step on the road back to normalcy.
I’ve lavishly praised PODS’ service and online [...]

Barbaro, the 2006 Kentucky Derby winner, has been euthanized after taking a dramatic turn for the worse.
Severely injured in the Preakness 8 months ago, his chances of survival were slim from the very start. But he rallied around, and responded remarkably well to his initial treatment. The heart of a champion was [...]

On this date in 1861, the State of Kansas was admitted to the Union. I looked at last year’s Kansas Day post, and every sentiment I expressed there still applies.
I’d love to be back there again, to live out my remaining days amongst salt of the earth people, to be able to see [...]

Wednesday, January 31, SWMBO and I will be applying the patches, and hopefully, leaving behind a tobacco dependency that’s gone on for the majority of our lives.
I’ve been through a patch regimen before, and have kept at it long enough to realize that there are some non-health benefits to not smoking:
You have more [...]

OK, the POD is empty and swept out. We rescheduled its pickup for Tuesday. SWMBO and I are awash now in a sea of boxes. As much work as moving to someplace we’d like to live, except we’re still in Northern Virginia.
I can’t say enough good things about PODS. Their customer [...]
