Back by Popular Demand
Actually no demand at all, but I’ve added the poll back onto the site. I don’t think anyone missed it, or if they did I didn’t hear about it. But, as Say Uncle says, “Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.” I think he only says that because “Powered by Spite” was taken. [...]
New Digs
  Big changes here, obviously.  I have a lot of other changes planned as well, but will phase them in gradually.  Some things remain the same though–bad writing, lame attempts at humor, and uninformed opinions remain. Basically I’d hacked the other theme up to the point that something had to be done.  I’m not [...]
What She Said, Part 5,307
Jen is channeling my thoughts.  However, she writes better than I do and probably smells better too. The question shouldn’t be “which of those two are you voting for” but rather “why are you tolerating a system that is stripping you of your right to fair process and what can we do to change it?” Stop settling [...]
Email, Blogging, and Twitter Explained
SVD is documenting his forays into these mediums (where else) on his blog. All of these things mean so many different things to different people. Here’s how I like to describe them… When I send you an email, it’s the equivalent of me inviting you over to the house for a cup of coffee. We’re [...]
Great News Story–You Forgot Something
Silence pointed out a story in the Tennessean this morning about political bloggers in Tennessee. Newscoma points out something too. Not a bad story but it amazes me that they didn’t link the bloggers they were talking about. Come on ‘Coma…what part of “they don’t get it yet” don’t you understand? Giving credit where it [...]
Twitter “Buys” Summize
The official addition of search–real time search–is definitely going to take Twitter to the next level and offer up monetization possibilities, but at what cost? I don’t expect Twitter to go on commercial free forever, but is summize going to take the spammy stuff we’re already seeing there to the next level too? And how [...]
WordPress 2.6 Nice
WordPress 2.6 has been released, and there are some really nice features in this version. The biggest new feature to me is the revision history, which allows you to compare every revision of a post and also gives you the option to revert back to previous versions.  Other really cool features are a live word [...]
Carnival of Local Political Gaffes #1
Welcome to the June 16, 2008 edition of carnival of local political gaffes. This is the first edition of the carnival, and there wasn’t much notice for submission, so contributions were light overall, but there is plenty of great stuff here, at least if you live in Tennessee. Christian Grantham presents: Mt. Pleasant Commissioner charged [...]
Pouring The Coals
It doesn’t seem like very long ago that The Missus and I would spend way too much time watching something boring on TV or being distracted from writing by some other excuse. But for the last week or so it seems like we’ve been doing very little but writing. Last night we had to actually [...]
Found–Another Good WordPress Resource
I’ve been spending the last few days working on a couple of new projects that I plan on launching later this week or early next week. On Monday I put my first WordPress plugin out for the world to, uh, bash. Just kidding (not really). I’ve been lucky enough to find a few people who [...]
