Eric Holder...
 
...is supposedly resigning from his position as U.S. Attorney General later today.

Comments?

They didn't say what he will be doing. Also this has been in the works for a while.

NPR cites Solicitor General Don Verrilli as a potential Holder successor.

Who designed Ernie's website...1998?

In 1998 I stood in the ramshackle office space of a friend who had just started a webpage design business. It was called WWWebservers, which we mockingly pronounced with all the Ws. He excitedly showed off two of his favorite new tools, Google ("you can literally search for 'shit,' and a thousand pages about shit will come up," ) and Photoshop ("like Paint, but on steroids." )

A thousand pages, indeed. 1998 was a good year.

Clodfobble 09-27-2014 06:46 AM

Actually, shit, that might have been 1997. I can't remember when my friend broke up with the guy who connected us to those friends. Now I feel old.

The beginning of the web was an exciting time. In 97 we took a trip to NZ and on all previous trips we would get a copy of Let's Go to do the planning, but for this trip I was actually able to make reservations for a highly restricted multi-day hike on the other side of the planet simply by clicking the mouse a few times and hitting some keys.

Glad he is gone. Not hopeful for a competent replacement.

DanaC 09-27-2014 08:14 AM
