The Ape Man: In Praise of Vagueness

http://apshort.blogspot.com/2011/01/in-praise-of-vagueness.html

Wednesday, January 26, 2011. In Praise of Vagueness. Matthew Yglesias notes today. That a number of commentators are chiding Obama for being too vague in the State of the Union and not offering enough specific policy proposals. The State of the Union is usually a place to describe goals, not tasks. One of the worst things about Bush's SOTU speeches is that he routinely threw in specific tasks he wanted to accomplish and then he would just sort of abandon them later for no obvious reason.

The Ape Man: ATS Rentals Review

http://apshort.blogspot.com/2011/01/ats-rentals-review.html

Saturday, January 29, 2011. I recently rented a Sony camera from. The way it works is that you order online and ATS ships the equipment to a location you choose. This was imperative for me because I was not able to transport equipment to Tampa in a cost-effective way, so I had the camera shipped to my uncle in Orlando, who kindly drove up to assist me with the film. I left some of my own equipment in the box and ATS even shipped it back to me! I get much in your theme really alissa milano. Thank your ver...

The Ape Man: July 2011

http://apshort.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Monday, July 11, 2011. Recapping the Last 10 Years of Republicanism. This all actually happened. In fact, I left out a bunch of stuff. Now we find out. That over this entire period Fox News' parent company has been spying on numerous British government officials including the Prime Minister, accessing his bank records, impersonating officers of the court and even Brown himself, and bribing active duty police officers to collect personal information on Brown from police computers. In October 2006, the the...

The Ape Man: August 2009

http://apshort.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Wednesday, August 12, 2009. Uncle Kevin came by some time ago to comment on the previous post. He made several points that were important and incisive. The Afghan/Pakistan region is currently one of several in which an wide confederacy of actors are operating against whom we have complaints. It is merely the case that Afghanistan is a useful place with which to do battle with this confederacy. The local civilians merely get in the way, or are useful as methods with which to engage the confederacy. The US...

The Ape Man: Michael Mandel on Innovation

http://apshort.blogspot.com/2011/01/michael-mandel-on-innovation.html

Thursday, January 27, 2011. Michael Mandel on Innovation. Michael Mandel breaks down. The State of the Union's focus on technological innovation, arguing that the US should focus on areas where we already possess a big competititve advantage over the rest of the world. I personally don't see the US as facing a choice between clean energy research and biomedical research - I think we can do both and do them well. But the big problems with these things come on the production and consumption side, not t...

The Ape Man: Me and Angelo Dundee

http://apshort.blogspot.com/2011/01/me-and-angelo-dundee.html

Friday, January 14, 2011. Me and Angelo Dundee. That's a joke - apparently I say "So." at the beginning of every interview question I ask. What can I say? I'm a pro.]. As you probably know if you're reading this blog (which was defunct until very recently) I've recently filmed an interview with Angelo Dundee, the great trainer of fifteen world champions including Muhammad Ali. You'll notice the sound is really bad - that's because I haven't cut in the sound from the good mic; this is the multidirectional...

The Ape Man: December 2008

http://apshort.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, December 10, 2008. Newspeak of the Week - Conservative Firebrand. A conservative firebrand is someone who is always willing to speak out against the powerful - on behalf of people who are even more powerful. Friday, December 05, 2008. How to Read a Windows Registry. The main challenge when reading the Windows registry is telling the difference between useful keys and malware and bloatware keys that can be - and should be - safely removed. Tuesday, December 02, 2008. Amanda M writes on Pandagon:.

The Ape Man: May 2009

http://apshort.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Monday, May 04, 2009. Haven't updated in a while; for that reason I'm sure my readership has dwindled to the point where I'm basically telling this to myself. That's fine; I'm writing it mostly to get it out of my head where it's driving me a little crazy. We have seen throughout the last several years that in fact these policymakers were correct in their belief. Given enough arm-waving and bloviation about ticking time bombs and other such nonsense, many Americans do in fact appear to be able to int...

The Ape Man: October 2009

http://apshort.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Wednesday, October 28, 2009. To Sleep, Perchance to Dream. When I was in the eleventh grade I voiced a theory, whose hypothesis I had subjected to the usual rigorous four-second cogitation period, that all poetry was about death. The idea greatly upset my English teacher; naturally I immediately adopted the half-baked argument as if it were revealed scripture. High school WAS stupid, an endless parade of nonsense that no sane person would ever countenance. It was a time of slumber, in which the vario...
