Readers know my personal disdain for Bill Clinton. But longtime readers will also know I have always defended his solid centrist, smart record in office and defended him against his most over-reaching enemies. Tonight, I think, was one of the best speeches he has ever given. It was a direct, personal and powerful endorsement of Obama. But much, much more than that: it was a statesman-like assessment of where this country is and how desperately ...

The DNC convention is, simply, spring break for Democrats. Denver in August is like Cancun in March, minus Señor Frog's and wet t-shirt contests. People come here to drink. And drink. And when they're done drinking they network for a little while. And then they start drinking again. It's a convention lubricated by sweet, sweet liquor, the cause and solution to all of life's problems (to quote Homer). (Simpson). The speeches have been great. Well, ...

I think it’s different for everyone. That moment while you are beginner with CSS when something clicks. You just start to get it. That is your CSS “Ah-ha!” moment. You might not instantly become a CSS master, but from this point forward, there is no going back. Because everyone enters the field of web design with different backgrounds and under different circumstances, I think the “Ah-ha!” moment is different for everyone. A true beginner with ...

In what might be his most controversial attack ad in a campaign dominated by them, presumptive G.O.P. presidential nominee John McCain today launched a new TV spot attacking Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill)'s two children. According to political insiders, a negative ad targeting a rival's offspring is highly unorthodox, especially when the children in question are under the age of ten. But after the two Obama kids scored in their performance on national television last night ...

From the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz: DENVER, Aug. 25 -- Jon Stewart ripped the cable news networks Monday as a "brutish, slow-witted beast" and castigated Fox News as "an appendage of the Republican Party." Wearing a gray T-shirt and a healthy stubble, the "Daily Show" host told reporters that Fox's fair-and-balanced slogan is "a (expletive) you to people with brains" and that only "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace "saves that network from slapping on ...

Let's take a look at how you can use your computer, cellphone, and digital camera in conjunction with the free, cross-platform application Evernote to remember everything for the rest of your life—or at ...

@eingy I've been playing around with and love it as a concept. I keep trying to work it into my workflow and haven't been able to get it in completely. I keep telling myself it is because I don't have an iPhone so I can't take and note photos with it. The OCR is amazing!

Lola had an interesting question about retirement: I asked if, by calculating our monthly expenses, we could multiply that by 200, and if that would be enough to retire. So, if one’s expenses were about $24,000 a year, if having $480,000 would be enough. And you said - rightly so - that this figure doesn’t include inflation, and that a safer amount would be close to 2 million! That’s a lot of money, and I ...

So I want to be a farmer. Nothing fancy. A flock of sheep, some fields of hay, a few humble acres. I'm not ashamed to admit that it's a personal goal for my future workplace to be littered with feces. But what can I say? I'd rather be outside knee-deep in sheep excrement than indoors screen-deep in emails. If I can pull it off, in the next few years I plan on moving into the ...

The DNC is barely under way in Denver, but protesters are already making themselves heard. Their message: "Fuck corporate media!" and "Fuck FOX News!" That's the response FOX's Griff Jenkins receives when he throws himself into a swarm of marching anti-war protesters. Jenkins plays incredulous well in this clip, considering he's there specifically "to cause trouble." He asks over and over again why the protesters don't believe in freedom of speech—the irony of ironies, since ...

In the presidential race of 2004 we had the Two Americas. In this year's race we have the Two Obamas: the one who has drawn repeated comparisons to JFK, RFK, and MLK, and the one who has drawn comparisons to Adlai Stevenson, Michael Dukakis, and John Kerry. Whether Obama will win the general election depends on whether he and his campaign make sure that the right Obama shows up for the remainder of the campaign. ...

Democrats are more nervous about Barack Obama's prospects than they were a month ago, the New York Times reports. Maybe his new ad -- a jauntier, more aggressive attack than the campaign has released before -- will help. To the tune of Sam Cooke's "Wonderful World," a vocalist sings of John McCain: "I'm not up on the economy ... don't know much about industry ... really can't explain the price of gas ... or what ...

I packed for Denver still hoping for Hillary. I'd never seen a major campaign miss a move this obvious. But unable to reconcile himself or many of his supporters to the idea Obama at least went with a very plausible alternative. Joe Biden adds experience, foreign policy expertise, a certain old slipper familiarity, at least to Washington types, and when he isn't in full-throttle-expound mode, a pleasant almost folksy charm. A Scranton born Catholic, he ...
