Four Letters; "Web-Based Journal"
I subscribe to the Sunday New York Times, but I've never paid much attention to the crossword puzzle. I didn't grow up doing puzzles, partly because they strictly existed in pen-and-paper format and weren't accessible to me without someone else's assistance. But after seeing Wordplay with a friend last night, I'm considering shelling out a few bucks for a subscription to the electronic NYT Crossword Section. I have no delusions about being able to complete the Sunday puzzle, but I'm fairly confident that I could do a Monday or Tuesday puzzle without embarrassing myself. And perhaps by perfecting my crossword skills, I will win favor with my lord and liege, Jon Stewart, a renowned puzzle freak.
And speaking of the Times, here's an op-ed piece from today's edition by my friend Erik Lundegaard in which he responds to a somewhat trivial criticism of the new Superman film from the political right.
