FCC to Investigate McCartney Halftime Show

Super-Bowl producers, expecting to avoid controversy by landing family-friendly ex-Beatle Sir Paul McCartney as the halftime act, have found themselves again embroiled in a post-Super-Bowl controversy on television decency.

Major Reorgs.; New Content; LHS Sentinel Newspapers?

I made some pretty major changes/updates/additions to the site today.

First, the Nonfiction section has been significantly reorganized. There’s a new category for “Opinion & Commentary” (for mid- to long-length material) and the “Mini-Rants” category is now, simply, “Rants” (for short- to mid-length biting commentary).

Updates to the ‘About the Site’ Section

I did some reorganization in the ‘About the Site’ section today (I wasn’t really happy with how it worked before) and updated a lot of the content itself too.

The main ‘About the Site’ link takes you to a general page that provides a little background, legal information, and technical information. Once you’ve clicked into the section, you’ll see that the ‘About the Site’ menu item expands with links for ‘Content & Style Rules,’ ‘User Participation Rules,’ and ‘Retro Websites.’

Pray for the Troops, etc.

As Jessi mentioned in her comment here [no longer available], Zach is stationed at the prison where the riots occurred the other day. In those riots, four inmates were killed and six injured (no coalition troops were injured).

I have always wanted to design, build (read: have somebody build), and live in an octagonal house. In 2002, I sat down with a basic vector drawing program and designed one.
