Seriously, tax returns are to a person with ADD what pole vaulting is to a paraplegic. 5:17 PM Jan 18th via web

Senators Feinstein and Boxer are being jackasses, but it was great to see this on my Congresswoman Anna Eshoo's site. twitter.com/RussB/status/1â€¦ 4:37 PM Jan 18th via web

I notice that I'm still able to see Twitter and Facebook. Now when *those* guys go dark, we'll have ourselves a protest! 11:13 PM Jan 17th via web

Screw this whole 'going dark' nonsense. If you *really* want to protest: "$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 shutdown" 11:07 PM Jan 17th via web

Apparently 15yos across the country trying to do homework are learning about SOPA right now. (Hint: disable javascript, you boneheads) 11:05 PM Jan 17th via Tweet Button

@carlosdomingo Ademas, por favor, no quejarse sobre el cafe! Si buscas, puedes encontrar cafe igual o mejor que en tu pais. Te prometo. ;-) 8:14 PM Jan 17th via web

@carlosdomingo Welcome to the US! Recuerde: No hay fumar. No tome cafe de pie. Hay que comer a las 12:00, cenar 19:00, y dejar propinas. :-) 8:10 PM Jan 17th via web in reply to carlosdomingo

I wish the anti-SOPA blackout would be less 'anti' and more 'pro'. For example, a law to guarantee freedoms from copyright abusers. 3:32 PM Jan 17th via web

I'm way out of practice. It took me over an hour and half to write my last post and it was barely 1200 words, and not particularly great. 10:31 PM Jan 16th via web

Considering Malcolm Gladwellâ€™s Blink is a ~70,000 words long, I've written enough words to fill 18 books, with a novella to spare... :-) 10:27 PM Jan 16th via web

Out of curiosity, I just exported my blog, stripped out the code samples, and counted the words: 1,282,501 words over ~10 years. Wow. 10:24 PM Jan 16th via web
