Old Geezer's Comments

Not buying it. When we were in our twenties, we had two children, a job at a place where they were going through periodic layoffs, a similar debt for college (although without the easy terms of today's college loans), a mortgage and two car payments. What we didn't have was an upbringing that told us we were bound to succeed, a trophy for every kid on the team or the expectation of an instant Vice Presidentship. We were too busy trying to succeed to worry that life just wasn't fair.

The beauty of this is that your message is behind glass and can't be taken down by someone else, it can't be altered and it does get taken down after a short period of time. No snarky additions to your note and no three-week-old messages.

Anti-barnacle weights. They were hung down just below the surface of the water and electrolysis kept barnacles from growing on the hull of a ship at anchor.

This would be the perfect Esquire fashion shot if it included the fact that the shirt was $1800, the tie $750, the blazer $3600, the slacks, $1175 and the shoes $950 and that Darth was heading off to another day at the office.

I think this might have to do with how many arrows are being shot in each person's direction. Mr. Average has this as a very important communication. Ms. Vice President sees this as one of five things to deal with. Madam Sr. VP has to dash off a note between ten other things. Managing Dir has learned to write the same way s/he speaks; in terse phrases that cover the subject before moving on to the next twenty issues.

I am one of those who think Boing Boing destroyed the look of their blog by "improving" it.

We all want to be modern, up to date, fresh, etc., but if it ain't broke don't fix it.
