whatever.

Double Depression: Feeling depressed about feeling depressed about something. Take for example the child killers, for whom the only just outcome would be extermination. I feel depressed when I read an article like that, but my depression feels so comfortable, trite and detached from their reality that I find myself depressed again because of it.

Now I’m starting to feel bad because I used the words “I” and “depressed” in the above paragraph so may times that I feel like some melodramatic teenager.

I obviously don’t know what I’m talking about.

John Gruber I would easily classify as an Apple zealot. But his latest article makes sense, and people will eventually come to terms with it.

It’s odd knowing that I’m the only member of my workplace whose household is not running antivirus, not running adware, not scanning for spyware every 32 minutes, not freezing, not bluescreening… Are those things really all that fun?

Thanks for playing, Mr. Kerry.

Good to have you on the show. Now go clean out your dressing room.

During a 1997 debate on CNN’s “Crossfire,” Sen. John Kerry, now the Democratic presidential nominee, made the case for launching a pre-emptive attack against Iraq.

… The candidate who now criticizes President Bush for ignoring French and Russian objections to the Iraq war blasted the two countries, claiming that they were compromised by their business dealings with Baghdad.

“We know we can’t count on the French. We know we can’t count on the Russians,” said Mr. Kerry. “We know that Iraq is a danger to the United States, and we reserve the right to take pre-emptive action whenever we feel it’s in our national interest.”

God’s wrath?

obviously not meant to be entirely serious.

And if you like Shakespeare…

You might have a look at this. The British Library has scanned and made public on their website 93 copies of 21 plays, copies that were made before the England’s theaters were closed in 1642. Interesting to say the least.
