Have I Mentioned That I LOVE Camille Paglia?

I have been reading Paglia since grad school, when she was lambasting the MLA, both in speech and in articles. I just about choked on my water while reading her piece at salon.com today. She is speaking about the absurdity of some of Dick Cavett's criticism of Sarah Palin's speech habits, and expanding that to the treatment she received from what she describes as the "bunch of tittering lemmings the urban elite have become", when out of nowhere she decides to have a field day with Katie Couric! Priceless.

What a great Friday morning!

Skype SL into a teleconference?

Being a MacUser, I just got this from Skype. Wondering if anyone has tried it out. Usually, if you want to pipe SL into a meeting/presentation, you had someone actually USE SL to do that. Now, it looks like maybe Skype will do it for you with screen sharing capability. I'm just wondering how good it will look....

WOW...Talk about bringing back memories! Check, Please!

Lisa sent me the "lost" Obama sortie on "Check, Please!", about the only show I watched while living in Chicagoland! I had completely forgotten what a hoot it was to watch Amanda Puck come out in those crazy hairdos, and to hear some good reviews on restaurants that my wife and I would then go and try out during the week. A classic must-see 2 minutes...but it looks like WTTW is going to put up the entire 30 minutes of the lost Obama show soon....stay tuned....

Uh-oh....

Twitter is apparently not so twitterific today....
