As I noted below, some readers cannot view graphics on my site. Apparently, the culprit is Norton antivirus software (and possibly several other antivirus programs). Reader David Moschetti recommends the following fix for those of you running Norton Internet Security: 1. Click on the Privacy Control option. 2. Select Configure. 3. Select Advanced. 4. Select [...]

Reader Michael S. Sanders asks if he is “the only one who cannot download any of your graphics on your site.” No, Michael, you are not the only one. It’s a pretty common problem, unfortunately. Is there anyone out there who can help? If so, my e-mail address is malkin@comcast.net.

Tim Layden’s inspired choice gets my vote.

My Thanksgiving column is here. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday tomorrow. At the risk of offending the p.c. police, God be with you!

One of the special treats of the NR cruise was an advance screening of I Am David, a family-friendly movie that chronicles a 12-year-old boy’s escape from a Bulgarian labor camp. It’s scheduled for limited release in theaters on December 3. Check it out.

I am scheduled to be on Fox at 4:20am — yes, 4:20am — to discuss the latest goings-on.

Thanks to everyone who sent along birthday wishes and pumpkin pie recipes last week! We tried one with fresh pumpkin–using 1 medium sugar pumpkin–and another with canned pumpkin: I preferred the taste of the canned pumpkin pie, but you can’t get into the spirit of the season without going through the ritual of scraping out [...]

Meet Peter Darling.

Blogging will be light the rest of the day. Complete chaos here at Malkin Central — new move, sick kid, home office full of half-assembled furniture (if I have to lock another cam, my wrist is going to fall off). Here are some IDOI book reviews in the meantime… Thomas Sowell John Leo Andrew McCarthy [...]

Thanks to Brad for sending this Day by Day cartoon along. To borrow a phrase from Instapundit: Heh.

Am back home after a week on the road for the book tour. While I was gone, my son sprouted two more teeth and learned to pull himself up in his crib and my daughter learned to do the hula hoop. As I started sifting through e-mail and catching up with the blogosphere this morning, [...]

A few weeks after I started the blog, Pollyana that I was, I opted to throw open the comments section against the recommendation of several savvy blogfriends. Initially, the quality of comments was uniformly high. Readers stopped by to share their favorite war movies, for example, and posted their keen insights into the costs and [...]

Apropos of my USA Today column on security moms, the fabulous Sekimori has designed some Security Mom gear. More on security moms here and here. Update: From Sekimori, “Top Six Signs You May Be a Security Mom.” Reader Cathy Cloud e-mailed me asking where she can buy a “Security Grandma” t-shirt. Update II: Still more [...]

The Seattle Times details the security troubles with Internet Explorer. I finally got fed up with it two weeks ago and switched to Mozilla. Have been very pleased. (By the way, if you use Movable Type and find that your style buttons/customization bar disappears when you switch to Mozilla, see Sekimori and Dale Franks.) More [...]

People who use “dialogue” as a verb. People who use “impact” as a verb. People who use the phrases “issues with” and “issues around:” I have issues with X. Let’s dialogue about the issues around Y. Let’s not. Update: Florence King says it best. Update II: Roger Snowden has some issues around the phrase “no [...]

For all the hungry readers who have requested an RSS feed, it is now up! (God bless Sekimori.) My vocabulary has been growing exponentially in the last few weeks (puppy blender, technorati, .mu.nu, blogosphere ecosystem, Fisking, Hobb-ling, moonbats, assorted empires and alliances, etc., etc.). I had no idea what an RSS feed was until a [...]

Thanks to the fabulous Stacy Tabb of Sekimori, we’re up and running with a new look and a blog. Still working on putting together a blogroll and other de rigeur blogstuff. The kids are asleep and I’ll be tooling around. Let me know what you think.
