Vampire Panic at the Boston Latin School
Final Edit: This whole story was basically blown out of proportion. A few students believed they were vampires. One student may have bit another student in the neck. The Boston Police were called in Wednesday for a supposedly “unrelated matter” (Boston Globe), which fueled rumors. To conclude, 99.9% of the Boston Latin School student population […]
The Vin Diesel Formula for Whether You Should Proceed with Potentially Dangerous Technology
A few days ago one of my facebook buddies (my profile on facebook) commented about how he was: supporting Skynet by linking Facebook and Twitter. Having earlier taken the “Could you survive a Zombie Invasion?” quiz, I knew we would be safe from zombies as I am apparently all that is man when it comes […]
Cash-flow free for nearly a year!
There was a lot of positive response to my post two weeks ago about living carlessly for a year, so today we’ll look at my financial situation and how I’ve been living with a very meager incoming cash-flow for the past year. Though a little bit of money flowed in here and there via various […]
How Battlestar Galactica Will End
Basically, everyone will die. They destroy the evil Cylons but the black hole sucks them in and the screen fades to black as we follow them into the depths of the gravity well. Science fiction geeks the world over will riot at the Sopranos-esque ending. Kara Thrace will literally be the harbinger of doom, as […]
My 2009 Final Four Picks
Just like last year, I’d like to take a moment (just sit right there) to share with you my 2009 Final Four picks. As I haven’t watched much college basketball this year I likely will not fill out a bracket. However, since I got 75% of the Final Four correct last year, let’s expand it […]
Why You Shouldn’t Order Business Cards After Midnight
Recently I haven’t been updating this blog and our various blogs run through The 42nd Estate as much as I’d like but for good reason. We’ve been doing a lot of behind the scenes work to pump out new services and implement a slick new design for The 42nd Estate. Well, a few days ago […]
Blighted Edward Everett Square Building Set for Renovation
As a longtime resident of the Edward Everett Square/Polish Triangle area of Dorchester, there has been one building which has been a blight on my neighborhood as far back as I can remember. The building is the NE Brake Building located at 1299 Massachusetts Avenue. Well, according to The Dorchester Reporter, this building is (finally) […]
My Content Syndication Policy
Recently I discovered a local newspaper was publishing my blog content on their site. At first I was pumped but when I took a look at the page where they were syndicating my content, I quickly noticed that they were publishing my entire feed! Doing so actually ends up hurting both the news site and […]
My New Server’s First Test
Yesterday was a pretty big day here at Prose of a Pol. I woke up rather early yesterday, at 4:30 AM to be exact, and felt energized and ready to be productive after only four hours of sleep. I immediately began pumping out posts. First I published a trailer of a Battlestar Galactica remake that […]
Car-free for nearly a year!
For the past year I’ve been nearly car-free. I won’t say it’s been easy but my only regret so far is that I did not start driving less sooner! My unofficial count is that during the past 365 days I’ve either driven or been a passenger in a car a total of less than fifteen […]
My Comment Policy
By Adam on March 3, 2009
Ever since moving this blog over to dofollow, I’ve noticed an increase in questionable comments. What I mean by that is comments that seem relevant to the post content but are spammy because of jamming keywords into the username field or the actual site linked is spammy. It’s these borderline comments that I’d like to […]
