Just wrapped up a 304-comment-long conversation over on Mugshot that occurred over the last few hours.
Of course, I can’t link to it from here (gripe #1), and even if I could, no one will ever be able to see the majority of the conversation (gripe #2), since you can only get to the last [...]

Over on identi.ca, that is.
Some of you may remember me mentioning the incredible utility of a service that used to be offered by Twitter called “track”.

I was under the mistaken impression that it would [...]
In case you’re not familiar with Mugshot, see my previous posts about it: Initial review, Follow-up.

I got to wondering about this today, as I tried to load [...]
A must watch video on fatherhood and personal / family responsibility in general.
Please check it out even if you’re not an Obama fan; I think anyone would appreciate and agree with most of it - politics aside (there is a bit of political policy pushing towards the end, but I’m sure you can stomach it) [...]
