I want to do this. I WANT TO DO THIS. Let’s do this, you mokes. This is your official invitation to Songs of Good Cheer, the holiday singalong that my colleague Eric Zorn and I are hosting for the 13th straight year. Sorry for mentioning Christmas in October, but there are a lot of hyper-organized holiday lovers out there who make plans long before the last leaf falls. So here’s everything you need to know to join us. We hope you will. Who: A band of first-rate musicians from the Old Town School of Folk Music whose instruments include banjo,…

Yeah, I fixed it on Blogula but now I need to fix it again on the church blog and my Second Life blog. So there! One of the coolest things about WordPress 3.2 is its “distraction-free writing†mode. I’ve been eagerly awaiting using this feature on my own sites for months. Unfortunately, WordPress 3.2 also shipped with a font change for the HTML editor to a monospace font, which isn’t so distraction free when you’re trying to write. via Fixing WordPress 3.2′s HTML editor font UPDATE: And now I’m doing it again, because I didn’t do it right the first…

I just realized the plugin I had called Postalicious was no longer working; either my Feedburner feed of my del.icio.us links died, or the new www.delicious.com changes screwed up the feed at their end. Figured it out, fixed it, will see about creating some “stacks.” Followed one for Hyperbole and a Half, so let’s have caaaaake.

Headed to dinner with friends. Running late because I should have left previous thing earlier. # I refuse to be interested in a vegetable-decorating contest. # Was in a meeting recently where I was asked "How do *you* motivate people"? #blinkblinkheadlights # Naps have a high priority on weekends; the idea of *me* motivating somebody is like putting a cat in charge of cheerleaders. # Hmm, awesome redditor comments: "Terra Nova has a $20 million budget & uses Nerf guns as props." http://t.co/dbmu0Ffr # RT @DavidCornDC "First question to Herman Cain tonight: "What happens if the alligators touch the electric…

As a corporate travel agent who books business people into and out of Washington, I find this disturbing on a couple of levels. For one thing, some airlines (Southwest) will debit a travel agency the cost of a full fare ticket if they let a reservation go unticketed by the time the flight departs. Other carriers merely mark ticketed reservations that are not used (“no-showed”) as valueless for future use or exchange. On the other hand, I have access to some elevated customer service desks on certain carriers (including Delta), for which I have occasionally been really, really thankful. Delta…

Yes! It’s right here! I have had nothing interesting to say for weeks or months on end! Meanwhile, congratulations to Annie Mole for keeping her Going Underground London Tube Blog fresh and interesting for almost nine years. We’ve been back from our most recent vacation (to Colorado again) for a couple of weeks, yet today is the first time I’ve been able to tear myself away from playing Bejeweled Blitz and the TV long enough to upload some of the pictures… which may or may not get uploaded to Flickr. I’ve got some photos from the recent “Pet Blessing” at…

For some time now, I’ve been unable to blog easily from my iPhone because the “Press This” plug in stopped working well – I suspected it was because of all the extra crap Google Reader adds with the “$UTM” tracking codes to the URL. I’d also noticed that the “Press This Reloaded” plugin worked okay, except that the link it added was only “complete” (including the title of the page linked, the a href HTML tags) if I happened to select some text to quote. It turns out that’s the way Scribu, the plugin developer wrote it. He was assuming…

I just don’t understand why Air India didn’t just charter a bus for these people – their flight into London Heathrow was diverted to Gatwick, a little over an hour away. There are regular express buses (called coaches in the UK) between the two airports and there’s even regular scheduled bus services that are really cheap (the fare is about 25GBP). Instead, they were forced to sit on the plane for up to 9 hours while Air India waited for a rested crew to show up to fly the plane from Gatwick to Heathrow. If they’d been put on a…
