Nothing to see here. Move along.

No, really… Nothing.

    • What Does It Say When A Comedy Show Does More Fact Checking Than News Programs? November 20, 2009
      Poynter has an interesting article, looking at The Daily Show as being a leader in media criticism, an area where it does an excellent job, even if that's not its intention. But, what struck me most of all in the description of the team behind the show, was that it has a full-time researcher and fact-checker, who looks for multiple sources to verify the […]

    • Michigan No Fault Law Update Should I Still Ride On The Shoulder? October 1, 2009
      Some of our readers may recall our article in the Spring 2002 issue of Michigan Bicyclist (http://www.lmb.org/pages/Resources/Legal/ShouldIRideontheShoulder.htm) in which we discussed whether or not cyclists were obligated to ride on the shoulder. It was our opinion then that it is good habit and common sense to ride on the shoulder if it is suitable. Suitab […]

    • Finding the laws that govern us November 17, 2009
      As many of us recall from our civics lessons in school, the United States is a common law country. That means when judges issue opinions in legal cases, they often establish precedents that will guide the rulings of other judges in similar cases and jurisdictions. Over time, these legal opinions build, refine and clarify the laws that govern our land. For av […]

Amazon++

Posted by wolfger on June 17, 2009

There’s been a lot of griping about Amazon lately, and what they do wrong. So I want to take a moment to point out something they did right. Amazon has made it possible to put items from any website onto your wishlist. This is freaking awesome. No longer do I have to collect a hodge-podge of wishlists and individual links to send to people who ask that twice-annual annoying question, “What do you want for (Christmas|your birthday)?”. I can put everything on my Amazon list, and send that out (linked for your convenience, in case you’re wishing to buy me something for my birthday). There is, of course, something in this for Amazon… but I think that it’s far more beneficial to users than to the company. And it’s also beneficial to companies that are not Amazon. Nice to see them doing something right for a change.
