Memo to Steve Jobs: Grow up

Apple wants everything with Apples to be, you know, theirs. Next up: a suit against Mott’s.

Let us not forget that Apple has been on the other side of this type of thing with The Beatles.

MSNBC likes big butts, and they cannot lie

From MSNBC’s “Gut Check America” page:

MSNBC Gut Check America-African American Women

A segment on “hip-hop hotties” is a great topic for a piece on Race in America.

Full Moon

February 20th was a full moon. I checked because I received two phone calls in less than an hour of people looking for a Brett Singer that wasn’t me.

I always thought my name was unique, but I guess not. There’s a D-level porn actor, a children’s book author, and roughly 30 people on Facebook.

Having the name in grade school was no picnic: “Singer? La la la! Sing a song, Singer!” “Brett! Bread! Brat!” That sort of thing. I haven’t noticed much name-related teasing going on in the limited sample of kids that I see, although I’m sure it goes on as much as it always did.

But two false positives on my name in one hour? Definitely Full Moon time. Next: a comet hits the earth…

It is most important that children should eat a good big breakfast. All the hundred-and-one things that you are going to do during the day–racing, jumping, shouting, studying–require strength to do; and that strength can be got only out of the power in your food, which is really, you remember, the sunlight stored up in it.

Sometimes, when you come down in the morning, especially if you haven’t had the windows of your bedroom well open so as to get plenty of air during the night, you may feel that you are not very hungry for breakfast. Or perhaps, if you have risen late, or are in a great hurry to get to school in time, you just swallow a cup of coffee or tea, and a cracker or a little piece of bread, or a small saucer of cereal…
