Zeroization What it is

A troll for all seasons

Matt Sanchez is up to his dirty tricks again, but unwittingly sullies the name of his right-wing associates. First, The Weekly Standard reports that The New Republic’s Milblogger Scott Thomas Beauchamp (identity now revealed) dispatches were fabricated. After raising a such a big stink, it turns out that TNR’s source was none other than our favorite gay porn star, former male escort, Wikipedia editor, alleged thief, and obsessive egosurfer Matt Sanchez. So much for reliable sources.

The New Republic has since found corroboration for almost everything they printed. Media Matters has since called Sanchez on his bullshit. Time Magazine’s Swampland blog has also picked up the story. Blogger Nate Nelson wants to ensure quite reasonable that this chicanery isn’t being done on the public’s dime.

You can always count on Mateo for laugh.

Fun with Mortgages

The Big Picture (great blog) sums up the story of the subprime meltdown very nicely in this post. Check out the nice graphs of Q2 delinquency rates and where they are occurring. All told, it had a troubling (though deserved) effect on investment bank share prices and market caps.

Moleskines

After many years of loyalty to Clairefontaine notebooks, I’ve switched (some may say I’ve seen the light) to Moleskines. I still really the Clairefontaines, especially the feel of and quality of the paper, and I will still use the large hard-covered notebooks, but convenience has won out. I really like the features: the hard cover seems very durable, the elastic strap keeps the pages together, and it’s a perfect pocket size. They’re also available in square rule which is my preferred line style.

Ad Revenue

Filed under: Business — Mr. Zero @ 1:05 am

Thanks to Google Adsense, this site may soon pay for itself, which would certainly be a great thing. I’m far from being able to retire on the income though. It seems it takes a lot of effort to make any dependable amount of money, beyond a few clicks here and there, it just feels a lot like work, which is really beside the point, isn’t it?

Central Park Fountain

The Central Park Resevoir Fountain was operational again as of yesterday. It shoots water 60 feet into the air, quite pretty to watch.
