This is my site. Cool, huh? If you don't like it, well, I guess it lives up to its name for you, then.

I wish I knew more about corporate law (never thought I'd be saying that!) so that I could better analyze Cringely's "snapster". On the surface, it seems brilliant. (read the article, he explains it much better than I could.) The only possible hangup is in corporate law. Are there any sort of restriction on where corporate property must be stored? Probably not, so never mind. I just thought of another hangup, though -- I believe that fair use allows the owner of the media to make only 1 backup copy of the media, and Cringely's plan clearly goes far beyond that. Interesting idea though, a highly-recommended read.

Boy, talk about a generic blog. What can I say, I'm not a design guy. My brother says he'll design a template for me if I want...

These are the sites that I read the most:

News
instapundit (like many, many other people)
Google News
reddit
OK, OK, so I'm biased. Big deal.

Highbrow
Arts & Letters Daily
Lowbrow
Fark

The best dang writing on the web, period. (At least it was, when I set up this blog 4 years ago.)
Lileks (especially the Bleat)
Eject! Eject! Eject!

Humor
Dave Barry
Tim Blair
Worse Than Failure

Legal Stuff
How Appealing
Balkin (when I want to get mad)
Volokh & Co. (I like Phillipe the best) (where did he go, anyway?)
Lessig
Some Harvard graduate who happens to be totally hilarious.

Other interesting political commentary
Amygdala
Colby Cosh
Impromptus (and what happened to him, too?)
Best of the Web

Baseball stuff
Neyer
Hunt (What the heck happened to him, anyway?)
Viva El Birdos

Geek stuff

Doc
