      I thought Jess had a tech blog. This one's all about cleaning the house. Screw that.

      That Stacy Brown blog is embarrassing. It's worse than Webster's.

      Stacy Brown's reporting in general is an embarrassement. Would somebody please, please tell him to use a notebook and/or tape recorder for God's sake so maybe he can report accurately instead of from memory.

      In most arguments, I look for the side yelling "shut up" -- and then I move to the opposite side.

      I'm sorry, maybe I'm missing something or maybe Mr. NEPAMedia incorrectly described the column, but it's about cleaning your house, not technology. Not a criticism, just an observation.

      "Care to post an example of your fine work?"

      Plenty of my fine work, and that of the people who work for me, is posted if you know where to look. Just Google my name and there's tons of hits.

      Love this line from Stacy's blog bio: "He has authored three high-profile biographies and have won several journalism awards."
