More Fun at State Fair of Texas

Sat, 04 Oct 2008 13:07:32 PDT
My favorite overheard comment last night at the State Fair came from an obese man digging with a spoon in the dregs of a large plastic cup, smiling like a kid on Christmas morning. Turning to a woman I presume to be his wife, he said: “Whoa, it’s like pure syrup down here.” As a bonus, here are some photos. Notice the look of abject terror on our model seated in the middle of the Crazy Mouse ride and the ecstasy of winning a prize on the midway.

Where is Peter Van Loan?

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 09:52:58 PDT
The Hon. Peter Van Loan likes to go to Republican conventions. He has memorabilia from different conventions in his Ottawa office. I think he likes to go not just to learn but to feel the energy of the Republican election machine. There was a news article about a week ago that said he was going to the convention now taking place in St. Paul, Minnesota. Yet try as I might I could not find any news outlet that confirms that he went. The fact that he was on Newsworld yesterday may indicate that

“Web 2.0,” if it means anything at all, is a term usually used to reflect the modern trend of interactive web sites that encourage users to create and share content.
