The Observatory: Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
http://timothyyoung.blogspot.com/2008/10/wikipedia-free-encyclopedia.html
Tuesday, October 14, 2008. Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. I find myself referencing Wikipedia in my day-to-day conversations more often than I care to admit. Whenever I share what I've learned from reading Wikipedia I'm usually careful to preface it with a qualifying statement along the lines of, "According to Wikipedia." or, "I read on Wikipedia that.". I figure that's a sufficient means of safeguarding my reputation as someone who is wise and knowledgeable. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Friday, January 23, 2009. I Hope I'm Wrong About This. Of course we'll explain to them before we get there that we expect them to be on their best behavior. But my children don't seem to be able to understand what best behavior. Means Whenever I try to to explain the idea to them they smile and nod and say "Yes Dad" and immediately begin looking for a piece of furniture to use as part of a gymnastics routine. Did I say I'm feeling apprehensive about today's outing? Links to this post. I already have my p...

The Observatory: Annoying Lyrics
http://timothyyoung.blogspot.com/2008/09/annoying-lyrics.html
Tuesday, September 23, 2008. I realized something the other day. I had always known it, I just never knew I knew it. I don't like ambiguous song lyrics. They annoy me. I came to this realization the other day while listening to Doug Fabrizio's talk radio show Radio West. He was interviewing Paul Muldoon, poetry editor of The New Yorker Magazine. I tuned in just in time to hear Mr. Muldoon recite a piece written by the much lauded Bob Dylan titled, simply, 17. After crashin the sportscar. Arms were sticki...
