Philistines
Why architects design such awful buildings. I think something similar goes on in the fashion industry. And if we don’t get how wonderful their creations are, there’s something wrong with us.
Lileks, call your office. I think that Tom Wolfe had something to say about this as well.
My Annual Vice
There is one time a year I eat too much (or any) candy, and it’s in October.
But it’s not Halloween. It’s at the International Symposium on Personal and Commercial Spaceflight, where they have candy bars and big bowls of M&Ms in the afternoon.

Political Advice
…from Captain Kirk:
Don’t compare President Barack Obama to Captain James T. Kirk.
That’s what William Shatner told CNN’s Ali Velshi when asked to respond to suggestions that Obama should act less like “Spock” and more like “Captain Kirk”.

Funny, I hadn’t noticed that he was all that concerned about that pesky document, myself.
Michael Jackson’s Death
No, I can safely say, with conscience clear, that I had absolutely nothing to do with it.

I just wish we could stop hearing about him.
[Update a while later]
You know the bit about how he claimed that he never had a childhood? It appeared to me that he had a childhood that lasted for five decades.
