Month: June 2002

I am currently preparing a cooler (or, rather, watching Jenn prepare a cooler) of food to take to the Elvis Costello concert tonight at Wolf Trap. Yea, me!

I want to give a quick apology for the lack of content on J’s Notes as of late. I mean, I’m not getting all the kick ass links I used to and I’m not even commenting as much as I used to, it’s just “post a bit here and bail” really. Sorry about that.

Though, my hits are up thanks to the US Open and one Ms. Elin Nordegren. Now I’m regretting removing her perma-links from the page. To all of you here looking for her, go digging through the archives of the last few months, I made a big post a while back with lots of good links. I’d dig it up, but I have to go help with this cooler now.

Later.

The warbloggers are coming, the warbloggers are coming!!! As Glenn Reynolds pointed out:

ATTENTION D.C. BLOGGERS AND BLOG-READERS: I’ll be up in DC on June 28, doing a panel on weblogs at the National Press Club with Mickey Kaus, James Lileks, James Taranto, and some other folks. It’s sponsored by The Idler; here’s a link to their press release. Should be fun.

I might have to go check that out.

The idea of 52 projects isn’t necessarily for you to do exactly these projects. Following something to the letter is never that much fun. The real idea is for you to do projects. Hopefully these projects will give you a starting off point, or maybe some inspiration, perhaps a reminder of the thing that you’ve been wanting to do.

(Thanks to Missy for all of the above links. I’m too lazy to find my own stuff today.)

Heroes Kevin Smith would be proud. (Thanks to Mike F. for the link)

Police Dog Accused of Racial Profiling

A Pennsylvania councilwoman has accused her borough’s lone police dog of racial profiling, leading to calls that the canine be killed.

Dolpho, a 5-year-old German shepherd, can sniff out the difference between marijuana, heroin and cocaine. The dog came from Europe two years ago and is trained in drug detection and patrol.

But councilwoman Wanda Jones Dixon said Dolpho can also tell the difference between blacks and whites, and should be put to sleep.
