Steven Johnson and Anil Dash in a to-the-death cage match to prove who loves Manhattan more than the other!
I love it when people enjoy their town or city. I know I love Montreal like they both like Manhattan.

Steven Johnson and Anil Dash in a to-the-death cage match to prove who loves Manhattan more than the other!
I love it when people enjoy their town or city. I know I love Montreal like they both like Manhattan.
The Montreal Salon des vins is on this weekend – in fact it starts tonight at the Palais des congrès.
Did you see the photos, published on the weekend, of the US-flag-draped coffins on a transport plane? Well, those were pictures you were never meant to see (by official Pentagon policy), and it seems that Tami Silicio was fired for her efforts. I guess you have to expect to be let go if you defy a policy as publicly as she did, but nevertheless the episode shows to what lengths US officials will go to prevent the public from understanding the realities of this (or any) war.
A picture is no longer worth a thousand words. In the digital age, photographic evidence no longer means ‘proof’. The point that gets missed, however, is that it’s about time – photographs never consisted of proof of anything, have always been subject to doctoring and manipulation, and anyhow have weight far beyond their supposed “truth” or “fiction”.
welcome to a new weblog, Mobtown Blues, by longtime pal Kevin M. A great upgrade from his not-often-updated old journal site. Hopefully the more atomic weblog format will be more conducive to regular posting for our Baltimore correspondent.
