Comment on Wired Magazine â€“ A Lesson in Bad Design by Michael Schuler

I was just complaining about Wired’s design and when I googled “Wired bad design” this was the the first on-topic result. I think I let me subscription lapse around 2008 because of it being unreadable, so thanks for the second opinion.

Comment on Third Hand Smoke by JBanholzer

Thank goodness you wrote this because it goes to prove your prediction of third hand smoke was ten years ahead of it’s time.

At the physician the other day, the nurse handed me a pamphlet on smoking cessation (I took up chew since quitting drinking) and while waiting scrawled an early draft of a poem about third hand smoke and hyperlinked in your blogpost here within a microdot of said poem.

To get to your post I had Googled in the search “Satire: Third Hand Smoke” and since I remember reading a funny piece years ago about 3rd-hand, figured to unearth it – or something similar.

Yours was the first to come up and it was 30-some down in the results. For convenience, I’ll repeat it here:

Unfunny for the sensitive

This fresh idea of third-hand smoke,
It is no longer, not merely a joke,

If you hug a smoker or two today,
Be brief, as smoke sticks, and then relays,

Unto innocents, via dark shirt,
Bad Smoke shall not filter, it is not inert,

New fanged Chemical Scientists insist,
For third-time transfers, then rich$smoke must exist!

– Comedian Nosmo King

Best,

Pence’s response was actually pretty good.

Comment on Blood Witness – A Novel by Dave Hitt by Jeremy

I’m loving this book so far. In response to Dave No Hit. I also escaped this religion 30 years ago when I was a young man. I had to hide my true feelings about it to get away. These are very disturbed people. Sadly some of them are related to me. This is a great representation of a young man trapped in this religion. Thank you Hittman
