Hey, isn’t that plane flying a little low?

Some closer than others.
As an aside: from copyranter’s about me section — some sentiments I can get behind…
I hate capri pants. Also: advertising, advertising people, PR people, marketing people, salespeople, real estate people, journalists, lawyers, doctors, […]

In this SI article, John Rolfe makes a seemingly compelling argument that those ne’er-do-wells at PETA have a point about this Michael Vick thing…
PETA is calling for the public’s assistance in demanding that the NFL add cruelty to animals “in all its forms” to the list of offenses in the league’s code of personal conduct.

I’m terrible at running a meeting.
I’m too ADD to keep myself on-topic, let alone a handful of adult children, each with their own agenda. Of course, I also hate agendas — a list of bullet-points religiously followed does dickall to bring legitimate issues or ideas to the forefront.

Wired’s Bruce Sterling seems to agree with me (though he said it before me, so I guess it’s the other way around)…
In response to Doc’s Live Web vs. Static Web:
