Last man standing:

An LA Times article looks back at the East Coast / West Coast rap wars that claimed the lives of Tupak Shakur and Biggie Smalls, among others. The evidence implicates Sean P-Diddy Combs' crew.

Strange bedfellows:

It turns out now that support for Hillary Clinton is a vast right-wing conspiracy. I'm unconvinced.

Almost there:

I think it's time to say goodbye to Moveable Type. First the comments broke after I was attacked by comment spammers. An upgrade broke my ability to go in and edit templates and I was getting tired of the interface and lack of customization. So I tried Wordpress. I was not initially excited but the more I explored, the more I began to like it. I installed the newest version, 2.5, last week and now I am excited about it. I wanted to tweak the style code (I used a free theme that, layout-wise, was what I wanted) but first I had to learn how things were structured; where files were kept and how they were referenced. Most of that is done and I have a few things that have to be done with the design. In the meantime, I'm working on photo workflow from Aperture. I think I have that down but there's some testing to go. So the bottom line is that I expect to 'go live' here in the next week or so here and close down the old site -it'll still be there for archive searching. Wish me luck.

First, there's the retro 90's visual explosion style of the page. Then, there's the 'then and now' photos of criminals, the bald guy news, the daily sentencing, the cops and robbers report, the radio promotions and the Outrage of the Month.

And here's our guy's page. Talk about a study in contrasts.

All over but the shouting:

The Speaker has dropped all pretense of having an open mind on casino gambling. Now we'll see how quickly all those undecideds become no's.
