This is Epth Nation

Epth is a state of mind, not a place. Reading this will give you a virtual drivers license in that state, but you'll still need to be 21 to purchase alcohol. And you can't get any there anyway, so stop asking.

Blogroll

You'll be happy to know that the tech showed up at 10, but my supervisor called in.

And Dan Davis (thank you, Dan) pointed out to me something about Alias I had noticed but had neglected to mention: The actor playing Jack Bristow has the smallest mouth in the history of ever. It's like he's a different species of human or something. And the girl who's supposed to be his daughter has this huge mouth. Is Jack not Syd's father? They've hinted that SLoane mght be...Or am I overthinking this? Is this in Season Three?

Since I can't figure out how to do a blogroll yet, here are some of the blogs I read:

This Blog Sits at the Intersection of Anthropolgy and Economics -- more interesting than it sounds.

Wonkette -- Liberal snarky insider DC blog. Almost too snooty (and hateful of Conservatism) for me, but they always come up with something interesting. It's mostly a collection of links to news stories on the web.

Touchstone Blog -- Christianity and the Media, mostly.

Get Religion -- Based upon the quote, "The Press just doesn't get Religion."

Witting Shire -- Eastern Orthodox Husband-Wife team comment on things.

Dr. John Mark Reynolds -- Proponent of Intelligent Design Theory.

D! Magazine Frontburner -- Dallas Media Insiders, giving inside info on Dallas. It's fun if you live here.

Bob Sturm Blog -- Dallas radio host on my favorite station, 1310 the Ticket, he's sportsy.

I think it's interesting, this Blog revolution that's going on. There is literally no better place to get information than from a responsible, intelligent blogger. Counter-intuitive to the conventional wisdom that says that if it's on the 'net, it must be suspect. I'd take what these people write far more seriously than your average newspaper reporter. There's bad reporting going on everywhere. Blogs are a way to combat this. It's as if the world woke up and learned how to think critically about things they were being fed. First talk-radio (although those people also do their fair share of spoon-feeding and manipulation), and now blogs. We will be free of Big Media's machinations very soon. Maybe.

Mark Cuban has also noted that blogs give celebrities the chance to respond to things more quickly and wide-rangingly than say, a publicist would. Oh, were that this would be the end of publicists...I can dream, can't I?
