• Online dating: It's not just for nerds, perverts and weirdos anymore

  Thu May 24, 2007
  • I tried the online dating thing for the first time back in 2000 (I'm 36 now). It still had that stigma attached to it that meant anyone using it was desperate. My excuse was that I just moved to Seattle and knew no one.

• Ban junk food in schools and screw the marketers

  Tue May 1, 2007
  • This is not a defense of the food industry but the reason why they continue to sell this crap is because the shareholders demand a return on their investments. A lot of money is being made on bags of chips, candy bars. I worked at a bar in the long ago early 1990's. We sold soda for $0.50 a can.

• Funny or Foul? The Fine Line Between Humor and Offense

  Thu Apr 26, 2007
  • McCain, back in 2000, did some good comedy on Comedy Central. He stuck to himself and it worked. I thought it was so damn funny I can't forget it. I have a sarcastic sense of humor so bear with me.

• Facebook that Candidate!

  Thu Apr 26, 2007
  • I just posted my first and last names on my Wordpress blog this past week. I actually started the blog about 9 months ago! I did it because I was concerned about people using my opinions against me yet I have no political aspirations. Maybe I'm just paranoid. Hmmmm.

• Say What You Want About Yeltsin...

  Tue Apr 24, 2007
  • I read an obit about Yeltsin that he was actually known also for blaming his underlings for the problems of running the government while he was more interested in the political game-playing. He fired the government twice in the span of less than two years or something.

• WA State Session Ends; 33 billion goes into final budget

  Tue Apr 24, 2007
  • Sounds like pretty standard stuff. The majority party passes a budget with much of what they wanted and the other side complains about it because they didn't get their way.

• Web counting tools 'need change'

  Wed Apr 18, 2007
  • Interesting article, Sean. Thanks. It makes perfect sense as we start to spend more time on sites with videos or audio or ones where we are typing away responding to stuff. Kind of like, uh, Newsvine.

• I'm At a Loss for Words

  Mon Apr 23, 2007
  • The idea that "cuss words" would be removed willingly from songs is missing a pretty important point. No one is forcing you to listen to the song so if you don't like what they're singing...change the channel or turn off the radio! People should be allowed to express themselves.

• A Knut Can Save the World

  Mon Apr 16, 2007
  • Hey, anything it takes to get the word out about world-wide issues! When it comes in a cute little bundle that fits on a t-shirt or a coffee mug, so be it.

• Innocent until proven guilty? Not quite

  Tue Apr 17, 2007
  • I'm with you on shaming the media. This story was an all too delicious feast for the media beast! They don't have to apologize because they were just echoing what the authorities were saying just like the stenographers that they are all too frequently.
