I came across this list of words the BBC doesn’t want people saying. There are more than seven.
I was rather surprised to see how high on the list “nigger” is for the BBC, since, well, American TV seems to have no problem with it. During one of the breaks during college I happened to catch […]

Published January 2nd, 2007 in Friends & Family, Links, New Categories and Welcome. 0 CommentsMy friend Alex Lee just started a blog. He of course did this after having witnessed the enormous success of this one…..
Since I imagine that many of my friends will be starting blogs at unspecified times in the future, I’m also making this a new category.
Quick Link: a rare political post from Hugh MacLeod.
Food for thought:

And while on the subject of the Arab-Israeli conflict, I’ll point out that my friend (and fellow Yalie) Aatif Iqbar often has interesting things to say on the issue, including this recent post. Aatif may not have clever cartoons with his writing, but how on […]
I wasn’t planning on writing anything to commemorate 9/11, and I’m still not going to. I do figure, though, that I should bring attention to this amazing cartoon from Hugh MacLeod (in case you haven’t noticed, I’m addicted to his cartoons).

Published September 6th, 2006 in Chess and Links. 0 CommentsTwo quick posts during my first week of classes (this is the first). It’s not my usual idea of what to post about regarding chess, but I thought it was pretty cool, so I’m showing off this link. Discovered via http://del.icio.us/tag/chess.

The Only Constitutional Lawyer in Congress
Published July 28th, 2006 in Soapbox, Voting Rights and Links. 0 CommentsOr at least that’s what I was told about DC’s non-voting representative Eleanor Holmes Norton by someone or other. More importantly, however, this segment (found through http://del.icio.us/popular) from The Colbert Report shines some needed light on the issue of DC’s undemocratic status in our political system. If you want to do something about it, check […]
This is why the Boylston Chess Club’s blog rocks. Hopefully, I’ll have enough time to hang out there once in a while in the fall (it’s in the Boston area).
