 Admit it. Your seven-year-old nephew could out-HTML tag you any day and you think that a Cascading Style Sheet is something with a thread count. That's where the Mediabistro mothership comes in. They've asked us to tell you about the upcoming weekend course in [...]

After a bit of a rocky start, the Tim Geithner reboot hits pay dirt.

How bad does it get when you have to call 911 on a cop who is responding to a noise complaint?
It happened in San Diego County last weekend when a deputy responding to the noise complaint appeared “out of control” with a “raged look in his eyes.”
