Re: Housekeeping Notes: Friction Tape, and an Update

The Tumblr type thing (it's called "post formats") doesn't work in every theme, but from what I understand, it works with most. Should probably also say that it's in Wordpress 3.1, at least, so you may...

Re: Pre-Election Meditation from The Dangerous Servant

Your vote almost certainly won't change the course of the election (so "you lose" no matter what), so your vote's value is mainly in what you signal to future contenders, and especially those who will...

Re: Pre-Election Meditation from The Dangerous Servant
