David is an occasional blogger, software engineer, Nintendo fanboy, liberal, news magazine addict, voracious TiVo user, and bibliophile. He was born in St. Louis, grew up in southern Indiana, and returned to St. Louis to attend Washington University. He hasn't managed to escape yet. He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

It is somewhat ironic that the FCC, which rules on decency "standards," comes across as so very fickle. In an article in yesterday's Washington Post, Lisa de Moraes illustrated their fickleness by documenting how they've treated accidental f-bomb dropping on broadcast television. (As the post is a family newspaper, she uses the euphemism "Vice President Cheney's favorite four-letter word" to refer to f**k. I also don't want to show up in a google listing for that word, so I'm avoiding it as well.) The article makes for excellent reading if you're interested in learning how the US government likes to make up rules with no regard to precedent in order to make political hay. Or something like that. It's good. Read it.
