Mascot madness?
In keeping with our Olympic theme, I’d like to post a link to a page about this year’s Olympic mascots.
I might be really tired and in the middle of a crazy story deadline crunch…but I find those mascots and the video on that page mesmerizing. Especially early on in the video, when the whale-person mascot [...]

Welcome to 2010.
I say “Twenty ten,” by the way, if anyone is wondering. I saw an article about “Twenty ten” versus “Two thousand ten” or “Two thousand and ten,” and the faux-debate made no sense. What’s the most important Strunk and White rule? “Omit needless words.” Twenty ten.
