Note for Haloscan Users:

Over the past month or so Haloscan started (the end of July) handling of trackbacks has improved though it is still pretty broken for carnival type posts. Now, instead of rejecting every attempt to ping it accepts single pings for a while and then will start rejecting them. I will keep trying to track back to Haloscan boarders but can make no guarantees for any particular week.

Note for Typepad Users:

Typepad continues to behave similar to Haloscan for trackbacks. I been able to get trackbacks to most, if not all, Typepad based boarders. I have to do it one at a time and wait a while in between pings but Typepad does not go into semi-permanent rejection mode like Haloscan.

Olympic Posters

haha.nu has a collection of Olympic posters - 1896 to 2012.

Through 1952 only St. Louis, 1924, failed to show some reasonable facsimile of a human particpant. Of the 15 posters from 1956-2012 only 6 show what appears to be any kind of human form.

Are the participants no longer relevant to the idea of fostering international communication and peace and now only a sidelight to the marketing?

Happy 4TH

Ahh, what to post today? Of course, some or all of the Declaration of Independence.

But plenty have already done so. May I recommend Randy Barnett's complete posting. If you have not read the Declaration in the past month or so today is a great day to do so.

As Kip says: the "war for independence"_wages on.

It's Time For You to Follow the 20 Commandments

Twice the number of the original for your sinning pleasure. Read'm all, chuckle and modify your behavior as appropriate. Examples:

#18 Though ye may tag some Posts as Humour, it is Madness to believe that All will consider it so.

#19These Truths are not set in Stone, but pixelated Dust, and will change as surely as the Tide will ebb and flow and the Multitudes will swoon over another Fit of Hissy by the Paris Hilton of Babylon.

Really, though, don't sin.

Broken iPhone Review

There are lots of rave reviews of the iPhone floating around out there. No links as you've been sleeping if you haven't seen plenty by now.

However, this three word review just does not go well with the picture...
