Afro-Cuban All Stars are playing at Goucher and you don't have to pay anything to see the show! Think Buena Vista Social Club, only with a killer horn section. If you want to go, just call this number and reserve yourself some tickets. 410-337-6333. Update: Tickets are no longer available.

My dentist and I talked about HIPAA compliance during my appointment. In other news, Merriam-Webster updated their entry for "boring" to reflect the new level of mind-numbing esotericism achived in Columbia, MD today.

Latest stupid blogger fight: Eric Brooks versus Sayed Razavi.

In the one corner, a blogger keeps trying to get his blog into a egoboo system, and complains when it doesn't work (0) on his blog (-1). Then goes and adds a racially charged insult in the comments (-1). In the other corner, designer of interesting database driven game site (+1) sees the insulting post and decides to ban said blogger via e-mail for what he said (-1). Then goes one step further and nails himself to a cross with a forum post about how rascists won't be tolerated in his game (-1). Blogger gets pissed and posts a longer diatribe about how not only does he not care, he loves the attention (-1).

Final scores: Eric -3 points. Sayed -1 points. Sayed deserves less ridicule, but they both look stupid.

Update: Eric Brooks links this page from his. I, the shameless whore, give him (+2) for a pretty good troll show and for the link. New score: Eric -1 points, Sayed -1 points.
