A Real Vacation (I Think)

I’m to get up in about six hours, shovel whatever still needs to be packed into our trunk, and get out of here: Two weeks up in Cape Cod, and with little or no internet access. (What kind of monsters are these realtors?)
So I won’t be blogging — unless I do. A decision in the [...]

A Rose by Any Other Name….? (and an angry email)

In this week’s column at 365gay.com, I address the issue whether civil unions should be considered a serviceable political compromise for the time being, while we await full marriage equality. As you might expect, lots of comments have come in already.
But I wanted to share a very different sort of comment; one that you wouldn’t [...]

Don’t Mess With Idina!

Yikes! A silly post that I wrote about Idina Menzel last night while wasting time in front of the TV elicited some of the nastiness comments I’ve gotten.
Interesting. I’ve written about very sensitive stuff, including abortion, and generally gotten respectful disagreement. Granted, my tone here was snarky — but it was mostly a joke, people. [...]

New Blog on Nanotechnology Law

My colleague Jean Eggen and her co-blogger, student Eric Laury, have just launched a new blog dealing with the legal aspects of nanotechnology. It’s likely the first of its kind, and should be worth following for both law and science geeks. Here’s her description:
I am pleased to start the conversation in this blog on the [...]

A Few Days’ Respite

Starting tomorrow, I’ll be away from Internet access (OK, I’ll still have my iPhone) for a few days. So I’ve decided to take a few days off from blogging — for the first time since I’ve started, really. In my absence, several of my favorite posts from the past year-plus of blogging will re-run, with [...]

What is Wrong With Ann Althouse?

Ann Althouse’s blog features many funny and deliberately irreverent observations. I can’t always tell whether she’s being serious, and that’s OK — if not a job requirement — for a blogger. But it seems that her love of blog traffic (of which I’m admittedly envious) has overtaken her best judgment. Her recent post on the [...]

Next Step in my Plan to Rule the World: A Weekly Column at 365gay

Just a short post tonight to announce that, as of this Thursday (3/18), I will be writing a weekly column for the website 365gay.com.1  This will give me a chance to speak to a much larger audience, as the site is related to LogoTV, the gay and lesbian cable network. (Logo, in turn, is a [...]

My Big Fat Lead News Story on 365gay.com

Having seen my posts on the anti-discrimination controversy in Virginia, the Editor in Chief of one of the premier gay on-line news sites, 365gay.com, contacted me yesterday evening and invited me to submit a post on the subject there. I wrote it last night, and it went up this morning. You can find it here. [...]

His Heart Will Go On*

As I just wrote on the blogsite of my late colleague Bobby Lipkin, his first-rate site Essentially Contested America, will continue. His former co-bloggers will be joined by a third, and soon some of my colleagues will be joining them. This is the best tribute we might have paid to Bobby and his vision.
(*Apologies to [...]
