The “first” Robert Benchley was the one I thought I sort of knew, as much as you can know someone who died 11 years before you were born. He wrote brilliantly and hilariously for The New Yorker and Vanity Fair, won an Oscar and, by all accounts, acquitted himself with distinction at the Algonquin in [...]

Links in this post are NSW … but I can’t resist poking around a little to see just what Yahoo is going to be deleting when they blow away all the Adult Profile pictures.
You see, there is no actual site for Yahoo adult profiles, and they don’t show up in search engines. They’re just … [...]

Update: It’s now April 10 and Yahoo has apparently not yet taken down adult profile photos or eliminated adult profiles. Nor have they said if they changed their minds. Though they have issued a clarification of their original clarification, neither of which clarified anything …
And … April 11. They did it. Rachel’s photo is [...]

This almost sounds as though it is an e-mail hoax, but it is not. And I wonder if the brainiacs at Yahoo have really thought all the way through about what they just told me they’re going to do.
From my inbox, two minutes ago:
“We’re making some changes that will affect one of your Yahoo! profiles. [...]

I’ve yet to seriously attempt writing science fiction/fantasy for publication and I don’t know if I ever will, despite my love for the genre and the existence of a couple of plot sketches in the “ideas” folder on my computer. I haven’t really kept up with what is being done, even to the extent of [...]

… can manage to shunt the latest prostitution ring news off its front page, I certainly can’t leave it at the top of my blog, huh?
Nothing to see here about the governor of New York anymore. Nope. Or CYT (Cute Young Thing) “Kristin,” whose MySpace Page now has more than 7 million page views. One [...]

The Times is a paper I love to hate. I read it. I expect greatness from it, since it is, after all, The New York Times. I am disappointed far too often and far more than I was years ago.
Maybe my standards keep going up. It is possible. I mean, *I* expect to keep [...]

Yes, I had to look that word up, which is a little shameful to someone who has done hard toime as a newspaper columnist. Because every once in a while, you don’t have that big, delicious idea in time for deadline, and you do a “potpourri” column, blended from all the ideas that weren’t quite [...]

OK — I write this small article very carefully.
WordPress has a translation plugin. I am trying it.
Look to the right and you can see where you can choose your language.
I speak only English and a little bit of German and Spanish. Please let me know if the translations are horrible and I will remove the [...]

Medical travel continues to garner considerable media coverage. News 14 Carolina did this story yesterday; I post it in part because I’m included in the interview. They’ve got the before-and-after shots of my teeth in there as well, from 2004.
