Noise
Occasional and random personal reflections by Doug Kaye.

The Tick. Is anyone else out there watching the new live-action version of The Tick on Fox? Great, mature writing. No canned laughter. Good stuff.

Safire vs. Ashcroft. "Great op ed piece today by Bill Safire in the New York Times." [Source: Doc Searls]
I listened to Ashcroft testify in a Senate hearing today. This guy's out of control. (Remind me sometime to tell you about being in that room, covering the Senate Watergate Hearings for NBC. Fascinating.)
Speaking of Safire, I thought it was really cool almost exactly a year ago when I wrote to him complaining of the media's use of the word "chads," pointing out that "chad" is already plural in the same sense that "dust" or "snow" are plural. I received this reply from Safire:
Dear Mr. Kaye:
You were good to write. (That's better than
"It was good of you to write," because sentences
beginning with "it" are boring.)
Your comments go into the thought processor
inside my head and may one day pop up in a column.
Thanks again (which is repetitious but not
redundant).
Sincerely,
William Safire
Okay, so maybe it was a canned response, but sure enough, a few weeks later he addressed the issue in his column, and I became an instant celebrity among my family and two or three friends who read his column.

Odd Todd is Unemployed. I got a link to this Shockwave movie from my friend, Eric. If you're unemployed, ever been unemployed or worried about becoming unemployed, you gotta see it. Maybe more than once. [Source: Odd Todd]
