I’ve had a couple of people ask me if I’ll be covering various topics. Short answer: probably not, if you haven’t seen it here. Longer answers:
- Wal-Mart fires four employees for disarming a shoplifter: no, because Jay G. has already covered that better than I can.
- Borders: no, because Lawrence is on top of the story. I am concerned about how this will effect my sister, but there’s a support group for her. (Yes, I did steal that joke from FARK.)
- Watson: no. I was trying to gather some thoughts on the subject, but am somewhat handicapped by not being able to watch the games. In the meantime, Ryan North of Dinosaur Comics (who has studied computational linguistics) posted some pretty good commentary. This FARK thread, believe it or not, is also worth reading.
- Guns in libraries and open carry activism: no, because between Breda, Say Uncle, and the Atomic Nerds, everything that needs to be said has been said.
- Car GPS systems: already covered. I generally don’t shout “Shut your w—e mouth!” at the GPS when I’m using a GPS, because I’m usually with my mother in her car and that seems somehow inappropriate.
