Happy Belated Birthday!
Whew, barely caught it! Happy (just 1 day late) Birthday to Karla! I hope you had a fantastic day – and may the future hold many wonderful things in store for you! (By the way, loving the new design! It looks great, Karla!)
Blocked Blogs…
The strangest thing is going on. When I’m at the office, I can’t access a number of sites – including Pixels in Time and Snazzykat. It seems that our office IP is blocked -not just my IP, but all of ours here (so Kymberlie can’t visit either from the office.) I also [...]
Announcements…
First off, a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Candi – today is the big day! I hope they are having a wonderful time! Best wishes in your forever together! (I also hope she will come back and blog again – I refuse to remove her from the sidebar because I won’t admit that she’s [...]
Is That Why It’s So Quiet?
Sue’s post about not commenting in Chris Pirillo’s blog got me thinking. Especially when I read Gretchen’s (uh, Mrs. Pirillo) comments. She wrote, “There are some blogs where I just am kind of “afraid” to post… mostly on the ones that seem to already have a really tight-knit comments posse and I think [...]
Get Out!
Dude, check it out! Al’s Journal – Al Roker has a blog! I loved the pictures in his photo section too. I’ve checked out his cartoons in the past. But I’m thrilled that he has a blog! [via Bona Fide Cynic]
Moving Time!
It’s moving time! But not for me – for Sherry! Lookie! Comments! w00t! Sherry & Karezilla moved in with Bran-O-phelia at BlogOmania! w00t!
I’ve had people ask me if BlogOmania is set up similar to some sites that have one giant account and then divide the account up among smaller [...]
Spread the Word!
Something to almost fill the void: Ads.com Launches, AdCritic Vows Competition. “After two years in development, Ads.com today launched a Web site where consumers not only can replay current television commercials, they also can get information about companies and their products.” I have really missed AdCritic.com ever since they shot down last fall. [...]
What Was That?
*cough* Fourth Annual Masturbate-A-Thon *cough* Hey Robyn! I wonder if we know *cough* anyone *cough* who would be a good contestant for this? I wonder if he could bring the secret files full of porn that I doubt his wife knows about? *wink* I just couldn’t let this one pass [...]
Lookie at the Links!
I found myself at Alexa and I wondered what I should search. I know! I’ll search for “blah”. Still #1 I see. But what’s this? You can see Related Info for: blahblahblog.com/! How cool! I love the “People who visit this page also visit:” section! Hey, I’ve [...]
Monday Mission 2.17 and Sappy Stories…
For a change, I think I’ll do PromoGuy’s Monday Mission on a Monday! NOTE: I stuck a sappy story in at the end too, just as added incentive to get you to read the whole thing…
1. When was the last time you pampered yourself? Hmmmm… not recently. I need to [...]
Things to Note…
In case you don’t read through all of the posts I made over the weekend, here are some things to note:
- You can now klip for this site. (Get KlipFolio. Read headlines. Super cool.)
- You can also get a klip for Well, Slap Me Silly!.
- Want to get a “digest” of blogs? [...]
Season Finales…
Tivo remembers to catch all of my favorite shows for me, but just in case – here is a list of when all of the season finales will air. [via Promoguy]
Speaking of season finales, did anyone watch the second Law & Order: Criminal Intent last night? Did you it give you flashbacks of [...]
Ants, Ants, Ants…
Tess ranted one day about ants. I posted in her comments a question – had she seen the article where Researchers find 3,600-mile ant supercolony. In case she hasn’t, there it is. [via Amit]
Too Quiet…
Know what’s difficult about BlogOmania being on such a stable server now? No one has any support requests! There is no stress and panic over the sites being down. Matter of fact, things have been really calm. I like it. It’s the way hosting should be. (I’m almost afraid [...]
It’s All About Real Estate…
Religion is not normally a topic that I discuss here, but it’s been on my mind today. More on the priest issue I posted about earlier. Marriage of Faith is an article about priests who have left their priesthood to become married. I came across it as I was looking for information [...]
New Photos…
New photographs added to the Pixelog. If you’re using the default skin here, you can see the thumbnails at the top of this page too. More to come later this week.
Save the Boobies!
Shawn’s Avon 3-Day Walk For Breast Cancer is next weekend. I am so impressed by all of the hard work that Shawn has put in training for this 60 mile walk. She is $150 short of her required contribution level. I’ll be making my donation May 1st. Won’t you help to [...]
Time for a Change…
This NY Times article (subscription required) makes some very good points about what has been going on with the Cardinals in Rome. The quote that sums it up best for me is, “We are angry that these spiritual arbiters are unyielding when the “sins” belong to us, not to them.” The are actually [...]
It Got Lost in the Translation…
Thought I would test out Lost in Translation to see what happened.
Original English Text:
To make a short story long…
Translated to French:
Pour rendre une histoire courte longue…
Translated back to English:
To make a history short long…
Translated to German:
Einen Geschichte Kurzschluß lang bilden…
Translated back to English:
History a short-circuit long form…
Translated to Italian:
Storia un questionario [...]
More Changes…
I have modified the random link generator in the sidebar of the default template (the one with the Pixelog photos at the top) so that they now display in alphabetical order. Many thanks to Jennifer for her help over at ScriptyGoddess to get this done.
I have also added a klip for this site with [...]
