Over at Wizbang.com they are holding a vote for the best Blogs of 2004 . There tons of different categories based on everything from content to traffic rank and yet from my look through the lists there is not a single JU blog present! Get over there and email the webmaster so we won't be "disenfranchised" like this next year!        Maybe we should call the ACLU?    Update : Apparently The Daily Kos is up to it's hips ...

     I am trying to train up my Dragon Naturally Speaking voice-to-text program. This will allow me, (your lazy blogger), to keep up with the likes of chiprj who gets to blog from work. The assclown.      Now here is what Dragon thought I said as I read the above text to it : I'm trying to train up my Dragon Naturally Speaking voice to text program. This will allow me (your lazy longer) to keep up with the likes of Chip R. J. Gates of long from...

Kenai: a peninsula and a faithful hound... I am not sure i can express my feelings on this matter...

A quotable from work....     SGT Greywar to SPC Egregious : "Wow you look like shit today!"   SPC Littleboy to SGT Greywar : "So do you!"   SPC Egregious : " You can always tell the souless and the dishevelled ones cuz they're the Sup(ervisor)s!"

     JU has changed it's forum view quite a lot and I have spotted a strangeness... In the forum view you can select your own comments for Trolling or Insightful ratings (something you never used to be able to do) and clicking on the buttons have strange effects... The first time it raised my score by a few points and the 2nd time I tried it it lowered my score by the same amount (perhaps a half finished guard against self-given Insightful points-whoring?). Anyone else notice...

Some sentiments from a peaceful and tolerant blogger in response to this post . I won’t put their handle in this blog (although you can of course find it on the original thread).   pretty sad commentary on this individual who uses one of the better anecdotes as a mockery. And sadder is how this person had a response of "wow man that was great ha ha ha". Sickening. Tolerance would be a good thing in these turbulent times. And it's unfortunate because attitides like that ma...

     I can safely say that in all the time I have used the Net that I have clicked on exactly one ad banner ever (intentionally). Yet ad banners are huge on the Net. Am I alone in never clicking on them? Do you? Who the hell is supporting this industry? Just curious.

     My non-updating buddy Negrodamus' blog here at JU has been blocked by Websense for "Adult" content. So far hi is the only one I can't read here. Personally I would have placed his sit under the "Tasteless" category

     I didn't notice it until Estrogen Lass pointed it out in an email (honest) but somehow you guys have read this thing enough to make my blog number one for a day (even topping Brad's own (EL insists I am *ahem* "servicing him" (I'm not))). Because it is unlikely to ever happen again (and I am certainly around a million hits/day from threatening guys with real talent) I took a screen shot of it (for posterity mind you!).      Thanks for reading...

     It's not like Lileks needs a bump from me but I eally am enjoying his Joe Ohio fiction series. The groundrules are simple: One matchbook drawn at random fom his collection follwed by whatever plotline he can extrapolate in 30 minutes flat.      The result is somewhat dark and depressing but extrememly engaging nonethless. Check it out. Certainly worth more of your time than those online horoscope places .      While you ...

     (Note : The previous Deadly Charisma are located here : 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9      Well here I am again. Not as fucked this time around though. Seems that I am now in Iraq in SFC Vince Calangelo's company. I arrived at around 3 a.m. local time and was quickly shown to a cot set-up in one of Saddam's old aircraft hangars. Even before my bags were all upstairs I heard someone bounding up to th second floor in the dark. There he was Vinc...

     Well maybe it is the paranoid in me but I can only hope that Little Whip keeps her exit real for a bit and doesn't pull a Mick Foley on me. Her goodbye article and the thread that preceeded it (no link since you can't read the commentary)  were factory model specs for both flame-bait and the right way to say good bye. I for one will miss your input intot he discussion and I think JU is poorer without you.

     Hey I support your right to use JU in any way you see fit. Let me say though that when you disable commentary you tremendously diminish my desire to read anything you write... master or not... This is a community of commenters in general so your toughts will reach more people when you allow comments... Just a thought.
