voyons donc If you visit Quebec, just say this a few times per day.  You can add a "ben" in front of it as well. 11:57:45 PM | permalink

Salon's covering more than USA Here and here.  I wish Salon could cover the world all the time but I realize how expensive it is.  I was a little disappointed when most of Salon Premium was political coverage but now that it includes all articles  I feel like I'm getting a lot more for the cost -- which is fair.  (as long as more people subscribe so we can keep Salon going, no matter what Penny and Weisblott say) 11:51:13 PM | permalink

Tina Brown makes it interesting I normally wouldn't care about the subjects she's been covering but she's got such a nice style that I pay attention to her.  (some of you may have to watch an ad, but at least it's still accessible)  Teevee?  It's almost my first-year anniversary for giving it up.    Tim Russert?   Stephanopoulos, Clinton press-secretary, or something, right? 11:42:26 PM | permalink

If tired of 2003, read 1659/60 Sunday 12 February 1659/60 In the morning, it being Lord’s day, Mr. Pierce came to me to enquire how things go. We drank our morning draft together and thence to White Hall, where Dr. Hones preached; but I staid not to hear, but walking in the court, I heard that Sir Arth. Haselrigge was newly gone into the City to Monk, and that Monk’s wife removed from White Hall last night. Home again, where... 11:36:30 PM | permalink

New home and Movable Type soon tenorman.net is now live but there's nothing yet there.  I've just e-mailed the great team at Movable Type and I hope to be set up shortly.  I lack their expertise with setting the software up and even when I'm set up it may take me awhile to learn the ropes. I've enjoyed my time at Salon and the Blogging Network but I really want my own place with Hosting Matters. I thought it would be more expensive but I don't use much bandwidth so I should be fine with the $6/month package.  Even though I was at two places during the past year I used only 5 MB at my Salon Blog.  Radio software would have cost $40/year and my own server will cost $72/year so that's not much of a difference.  Movable Type is free but I will donate once I'm set up.  I'm still not as comfortable as most when it comes to expression but this blogging thing is helping me a lot.  If only all the social phobes could have their own place -- other than the spam-troll-infested Usenet. (I haven't visited that group much but there's lots of "snap out of it" and "F*%) this and that", etc.) I almost went back to digital cable but blogging is better and if I really want to be entertained I'll visit theatres and/or get a membership at the National Film Board. Oh, and Videotron, kiss off with your outages. 10:10:19 AM | permalink
