I now know what I’m going to do with this USB key that I have. Thanks to linklog and Jon for this.
What else do you folks do with your keys?

Finally Got Around To It
I’ve joined the 21st Century and have finally gotten around to installing MT-Blacklist. I had my breaking point last night when I had to remove about 90 comments. So it’s installed now. I’m still considering a move to WordPress or MT 3.0, but I’m certainly not doing 3.0 until MT-Blacklist works with it.
If anybody cares, my blacklist is here.
Whoopsie
Kerry picks Gephardt?!? I don’t think so. Reminds of the (in)famous “Dewey Defeats Truman” headline.
Besides, we all know that if you’re going to dig around the Web to find a leak on who John Kerry was going to pick for his Veep, you know that leak will show up on an aviation message board. Where else would it be?
Update on 7/7: They ran a front page correction. At least they have a sense of humor about it.
Jack’s Taking A Break
My bet is he will stage a comeback — I don’t know what kind of comeback, but only something intelligent and insightful, as he always has been — but Jack Bogdanski is calling it quits. There was even a feature in today’s Oregonian about it. Jack mentioned this site as a daily read, for which I am flattered, and if anybody is coming here because of the article, welcome!
Jack, you will be missed. Even if you don’t blog yourself, share your comments on the news on the rest of our sites. I know you don’t comment here much because it’s not a Portland blog (because I don’t mention you or Portland directly or because my content is absolute crap — either way seems reasonable), I do expect to see your name in the comments of the Portland area blogs.
The Blog As Career Tool
It’s nice to know that someday, if it came down to it, my blog may help me land a job. Link via Contentious.
Just an FYI
When your wife has a knife in her hand, and wants you to change the channel, you might want to do what she says.
I Wouldn’t Be Able to Crap
Here’s a picture of a public toilet in Switzerland that’s made entirely out of one-way glass. No one can see you in there, but when you are inside, it looks like you’re sitting in a clear glass box. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I could use it.
