As Megan kindly mentioned, the Chronicle named this the blog of the week. We grant there is no accounting for tastes. And if I were not blogging this from the train, I would put in links to the posts they mentioned. Perhaps I will later. Meantime, please look around, and if you want to find some “this day in history” posts please click on the “this day” link above. Thanks!
Now that I’m off the train, here are the posts they mentioned:
“a look at the music videos Barack Obama fans have posted on YouTube”
“why Wikipedia’s overlords shouldn’t delete entries they consider to be underread”
Also, as mentioned previously, please look around; you can find “this day in history” items by clicking on the “this day” category.
Thanks again!

Unfogged in the Times, y’all in The Chronicle. I feel unloved.*
*By mainstream news organizations, that is. Fans of Hello Kitty are showing me much love.

You didn’t have internets on the train, did you?
You sat Bay-side, right?! And it was beautiful? Did you get drunk? You can do that on the train, you know.

You didn’t have internets on the train, did you?
With iPhone you have internets wherever you have cell coverage.
You sat Bay-side, right?!
Yep, both down and back.
And it was beautiful?
Yes, extremely, especially with this weather.
Did you get drunk?
No.
You can do that on the train, you know.
I know, but when I went down on Friday, my train left at 5:45 AM. And I had to give a paper just after lunch. And coming back, it was 9 AM. On Sunday.

I’m having a hard time figuring out what kept you from getting drunk. In either direction. But especially the way back.
