Fri Jul 29 2005 09:03 (Leonard) It's Back:
I am reinstating the guest weblog while I go on vacation. My trusted lieutenants will provide you with the irreverent links and irrelevant commentary that you have come to expect from News You Can Bruise, or perhaps some other weblog. It's hard to know, but I do know that this rag-tag band of posters is your only hope for new content on the crummy.com homepage until I come back from Montana and Alberta.

For some reason Leonard owns a magnifying glass (lens, since it's plastic). This would be cooler if it magnified to better than 1.5x.

"Do I need a safeword to get you to stop pouring?"
Sat Jul 30 2005 06:15 (Pete) Mr. Joad's Wild Ride:
Today Annalisa and I start our drive out west.
On our first trip out, we lost a mirror in the middle of Nebraska at 80 mph, ran over a tumbleweed in Colorado, got our truck towed in LA because it was in 7th Heaven's shot, and almost rented Charles Manson's quaint Topanga getaway... here's hoping for a less exciting trip. Here's also hoping that I will be able to post while I'm on the road.
California, here we come!

From phone conversations today I gather that Leonard and Frances are visiting the American Computer Museum. In contrast, I'll be enjoying Will Franken's comedy shows tonight, whose most computer-related joke is probably his absurdist "voice command for file cabinet" bit. You can get a hint of that style in his "Show!" clip.
Note to local comics I saw in the back room of a pizza place last night: it is possible to do good spam and Match.com jokes. Please try harder.
