DISQUS

I'll care when I can stream movies from Netflix.com on my Linux box.

I'm in the same quandary. The writing on Dollhouse has not been up to typical Joss Wheadon standards so far. Then again, the first year of Buffy was fairly cheesy - it took a while for him to get that show dialed in. Maybe the same will be true of Dollhouse.

There is always 24, which is so unrealistic that it might as well be Sci-Fi.

For now, I'm catching up on Dr Who via DVD as I never watched consistently enough to follow the story until this year.

//it only works with the set of APIs that Salesforce makes available to its Enterprise and above versions//

So that's why Griffin won't work for me. We are on the Professional edition of SFC. Just another reason to hate salesforce.com. Oh well...

Thinking out loud here...maybe he has already done something very similar and is repurposing the data for you? Not that there is anything wrong with that, but he may only be spending a couple of hours to tweak something that already exists. Even at that though, $100 is a bargain if the data is good.

//Couple that with the fact that the threat from Canada is pretty minimal//

That's exactly what they want you to think ;)

The press and NY fans will care a lot. The expectations will be unbearable, basically anything less than 1110 wins and a 4 game sweep in the World Series will be a failure. You think playing for Atlanta and Texas prepared Tex for that kind of pressure?

Not upset at all. The Yankees now have the 4 highest paid players in baseball, and I'm guessing the highest payroll in the history of professional sports. The NY press will go bonkers the first time they hit a 3 game losing skid. That much ego on one team is doomed to self-implode. I'm looking forward to watching it.

Painting beer company and auto part logos on the Space Shuttles might be a decent start :)

It could also stand for Major Dork

Wasn't it 5 straight completions to Welker on that drive that started at the 1?

I've been considering doing the same thing. My web site has been online since flashing text was considered cool. If people want to find me, it's not difficult. I may hang on to MySpace only because a couple of friends in bands use it as their primary blogging platform so I need access to keep up with them. Facebook is definately in danger of going bye-bye. LinkedIn is useful for me. I get fairly regular job inquiries via my profile there. I'm not job hunting right now, but you know, I could be again some day.

I hate to sound like a fanboy on my first visit here...but I agree on all 10. Neither of my kids have ever seen the inside of a classroom, and I'm still trying to figure out exactly what they are missing.

I'm not so sure I agree with your thesis on the benefit of no comments. Guys like Zeldman and Kottke were popular and well read before blogs were really even in existence. I can remember being on a mailing list with Zeldman back in 1998 or so. Some blogs may outgrow comments in that they get so popular that managing the comments becomes a full time job by itself. However, very few of us will ever consistently write stuff that will motivate a lot of people to link back to it. People that are that good probably would have been well read regardless. I think the vast majority of us need comments.

I consider the comments at my site, and at a few other places where I comment frequently, and little self contained social networks. It's the best part of the web for me.

I think if the Orioles let the kid go for the complete game we lose 5-0. I'd say they'll be asking questions in Baltimore...but that would actually require somebody there to care about baseball :)
