Re: Two Dead, Dozens Injured in Vehicular Assault at SXSW

Colloquial, overused word? Yes. Officials treating it as though it was a literal accident? No. The guy is charged with two capital murder counts. Don't mess with Texas.

These are phenomenal updates. Can't wait to put them into action in my campaign. I'd love to see some improvements around mapping... particularly map making. I'm not a great artist and only pay for Photoshop when I need it... The whole map making experience is disjointed between having to go between third party sources with varying degrees of awesomness and suckage and Roll20... TBH, that's my biggest want.

Sorry, going to have to take issue with you on this. And I, too, am a photographer.

Most photos DO adhere closely to the square format. However, with the advent of 35mm and the evolution of film and then digital since then, photographers have a whole lot of options. Some people snap snapshots and others publish photography. Real photography. I do a mix of both.

When I snap a photo with my dSLR and go through the process of post-production, I end up with a finished piece that may or may not be square. It can sometimes be clipped to square and still preserve the essence of the photo but with landscapes and panoramas, this does become a problem.

Also, requiring a square format removes the artist's composition choices in some cases and puts those choices in the hands of a platform provider who has no connection to the Art itself.

I don't mind that they enforce a square thing photo as they've done all along. I don't like they are forcing the issue though.

So I'll respectfully disagree.

Re: Redskins-Ravens Rivalry for the Fans, Not Players

David is right. We aren't taking the Redskins lightly but the Ravens are far more likely to clinch another playoff berth than the Redskins are. For the Redskins, it's do or die. For the Ravens it's not. That's just fact.

You're not wrong. Better approach that would be legal and hit CFA's pocket book... Let 'em build. Let 'em finish. Do everything to grease that wheel and make putting a store up easy. When it's finish, eminent domain their asses.

So you're suggesting that the board of a publicly traded company chose one of the most prominent women in tech to run their company in order to set her up for failure? Really? Or is there something else I'm missing in the series of unconnected thoughts this article is?

I'm not trying to be combative. I just don't get it.

Re: Obama to Congress: I’ll decide what’s constitutional

Aaron Brazell — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:02:32 -0000

Let me interpret that quote for you since you have inaccurately done it. Congress may have these provisions, but I reserve the right to disagree with them and recommend Congress to reconsider. That is a far cry from him just ignoring the Constitution or the Separation of Powers. He in fact acknowledges it and defers to them as the creationists of laws.

"A&M should compete well in basketball — hell, any conference without Kansas is an easy one." - Really? The SEC doesn't have Kentucky and Florida? What about the Big East and ACC as the dominant basketball conferences? That sentence right there indicates how unaware TDT is of national sports. ;)

Re: Everyone Has Written a Book!

Aaron Brazell — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 22:51:23 -0000

I'm going to be a bitch. Sorry. You know me. It's not personal.

First of all, I was about to rip you a new one when I saw the title but then I saw the post. It really has nothing to do with your post and is unnecessarily inflammatory to authors who have written books and moved copies. I've sold 9500 units. Mine is 744 pages at second edition. It's definitely tech, not social media, but the title of this article is unnecessarily cheapening.

Second of all, I don't even know what the point you're trying to make is. Is it that it's hard to write? Is it that self publishing is the future of the book industry? What's the point? You're not making one.

This comment is not to critique your writing. You and I both know you're good. Both on this blog and in your books. But are you just filling space because you have to? This article totally meanders and has a bitchy title.

Sorry. Not personal.

Darnell: It does by default but that doesn't prevent anyone from using the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin. The catch here is that all of the sites in Multisite share the same pool of resources.
