Many of you know I have been a fan of Batman for some time. I have attempted to understand the character, as well as the villains that have been featured, especially during the Jason Todd/Tim Drake-as-Robin years. The first Batman movie came out (Tim Burton) and I [...]
embrace your fear
I have Twittered about this, and I feel the need to explain: I think Obama is the candidate for November.
Why Obama:
He’s smart. Exhausted utterance about fifty-eight states notwithstanding. At least it isn’t the word “nucular.” Over and over.
He’s black. This is not a reason, it’s an admission of (a) about freaking time, (b) a new [...]

I am lucky to be able to have two cars to depend on; when I got the Jeep, we decided to keep the Saturn. Even though it was ten years old, it was still running, was in perfect condition (only two minor fenders-bender; neither my fault!), had never needed any real underhood work (the power [...]

Alright; I’ve added the Wordbook app to both the blog (http://www.dansanders.net) and to Facebook. If all goes well, I post on the blog, it updates Facebook, and my laziness is preserved.

“I do NOT trust you, I want some.”
“No you don’t! Here, here’s the knife, smell that.”

If you felt good about outsourcing to the subcontinent before, now you can feel totally confident. It used to be a Bengal Tiger, but the board meetings got WAY out of hand. Besides, the tiger’s Ph.D. was from a diploma-mill.
My next question; how soon before [...]

Here is a link to an article that speaks to the possible effect of losing even one night’s sleep: link
In reading it, I looked back in my mind to moments where I had conversations about sleep, and I recall that there is an almost “hero-worship” for people who fail to get enough sleep.

“Candidates are told stories by people all the time, and it’s common for candidates to retell those stories. It’s not always possible to fully vet them, but we try.” — Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee (link)
Perhaps then, the proper choice is to not tell the story.

In response to a Twitter entry, I was reminded of an exchange I had this morning from a user:
I need to download a new version of Microsoft…
I immediately thought; “oh, we ALL need a new version of Microsoft….”

the green muse
I’ve been wanting to for quite some time - ever since I found out it was illegal (or at least the distribution of it was, which is no longer true), that some of the most notable writers of the Victorian and Romantic periods were fans, and that the culture that surrounded it was worth experiencing, [...]
