Friday wrapup (May 21 2004 23:47 GMT) - I've had a busy week since coming home -- at work, mostly. What I'm doing is interesting, but I can't talk about it here! I've been so busy, in fact, that I haven't even fired up the XM radio software all week. But it's about time to call it a night and a weekend. Shabbat Shalom! |

Name That Band (May 21 2004 23:27 GMT) - Reading this nifty article by Nick Hornby in the New York Times, I was intrigued by the following passage:The pop music critic of The Guardian recently reviewed a British band that reminded him — pleasantly, I should add — of "the hammering drum machine and guitar of controversial 80's trio Big Black and the murky noise of early Throbbing Gristle." I have no doubt whatsoever that the band he was writing about (a band with a name too confrontational and cutting-edge to be repeated here) will prove to be one of the most significant cultural forces of the decade, nor that it will produce music that forces us to confront the evil and horror that resides within us all.Fucking. Awesome. |

Golf at Redlands Mesa (May 21 2004 23:23 GMT) - Today, the Ski Boy and I played golf at has to be one of the most stunning courses in the US - Redlands Mesa here in Grand Junction. As Golf Digest said: Positioned beneath the slopes of jagged buttes south of Grand Junction, Colorado, in the shadow of the towering pink and red sandstone face of the Colorado National Monument, Redlands Mesa is like playing golf along the bottom of the Grand Canyon, with a couple of sojourns to the Garden of the Gods thrown in. That quote might seem like hyperbole, but trust me - it's right on. What a flat out magnificient place. |

Selective Memory (May 21 2004 23:19 GMT) - I'm beginning to question my trust in the factual accuracy of The New York Times (link via Atrios): In a front page New York Times article this morning, David E. Sanger quotes a senior U.S. intelligence official's assessment of Ahmad Chalabi's information on weapons of mass destruction, which was distributed so avidly by the Times itself in the run-up to the Iraq war: |
