Show Your Pride…
A few weeks ago, our challenge for the Blogwhore game was to create a meme. Rannie’s meme was to Show Your Pride.
I wanted to write something back then, but what could I write? I’m not gay. I’m not bisexual. But today it hit me. And I realized, we should all [...]
Has Anyone Read the Constitution Lately?
Our country was set up as a system of checks and balances. We have three separate and distinct branches of governement to keep things flowing through the proper channels. So it really annoys me to read that Senators call Pledge decision ’stupid’. Hello? It’s not up to you. It was [...]
Boston Bound, Baby!
What are you doing for the 4th of July? Me? I’m going to Boston to see Jennifer! Whee! Sam and Rachel too, of course! Tuesday night, I’m Boston bound. So much to do! So little time! We’re working on coordinating getting together with Susannah and Erika and [...]
The Blind Date…
Why on earth do the people that go on Blind Date seem so surprised when their date completely sucks? Why? Have these people watched the show? Almost every date ends in date hell. What makes them think that their date will be so special and that it will work out? [...]
Empty Gold Box…
Running through the Gold Box, I wonder if it will have anything I want?
:: 4-piece Crib Bedding set – Huntington. Nope, no baby.
:: First Toys. Nope, see above.
:: Nutty Elephant. Augh!
:: Antiques Roadshow Board Game. Why is there an Antiques Roadshow game? I like the show – but a game? [...]
I Want to be a Toys-R-Us Kid…
I don’t normally post things here that I post over at Blogwhore: the Webgame because you really should be there reading the posts. We are down to the final 5 and tomorrow there will only be 4. I’m still in the game, but it’s getting close and the race is truly on.
I liked [...]
I’m Confused…
I don’t get this whole “trackback” thing, so now I’m making a post to link to Todd’s post about the feature and Kristine’s too so maybe then I’ll understand…
Edited: Nope, linking like that doesn’t work either. Can someone please speak slowly & clearly to me and tell me how this thing works?
One Nation…

Get Off of Me!
I hate pop-up ads as much as the next guy, so I found it quite amusing to see this headline… “Publishers of Web Sites File Suit to Stop Pop-Up Ads” (NY Times, Free subscription required) These are just web site publishers – they are publishing companies and they have filed a suit against Gator. [...]
Coming Soon…
I have a migraine and I’m tired of working on this proposal. Just thought I’d share that moment with you. Meanwhile, the purpose of this post is to say that if you’re one of the 8,000 people that I owe an e-mail to from earlier this week or maybe even last week (ok, [...]
Now That’s a Rant…
My post about the Pledge of Allegiance issue was pretty tame compared to the awesome post that William wrote today. William? You’re my hero.
How I Long for Those Days…
Yesterday Kymberlie posted about one of my all-time favorite commercials, EDS.com’s Cat Herding. So I asked her if she had found a source for the “Clinton’s Final Days” video since AdCritic.com shut down. Today she hooked me right up … and you can watch it too here!
Well Now…
So if you go to MSN an do a search for “women of enron” my site comes up as the #1 result. What’s up with that?
Ok, This is Just TOO Cool…
Want to know when your favorite blog has updated without looking online? If you have MSN Messenger, the BlogToaster will pop up with a notification for you of the update! I am so there! [via Kristine]
MovableType 2.2…
With a brand new site design, MovableType has released version 2.2, loaded with tons of new features. If only I had time this week to upgrade… maybe over the weekend or next week, but not right now.
I Don’t Build Things!
Damn it, Amazon! I don’t build things! Kymberlie gets lanterns, meanwhile Amazon thinks that I am rich and I need some serious power tools! (I’m only posting the price that the gold box offered it at.)
:: Milwaukee 18-Volt Hatchet Sawzall, 6-1/2-Inch Circular Saw, 1/2-Inch Drill-Driver, and Worklight Combo Kit with Contractor Bag [...]
Well, Does Mr. Rodgers Live There?
I’ve received mailings about The Neighborhood from MCI. Unlimited long distance, phone service, call waiting, caller ID, voicemail – all the things I use for one price. The cost is about the same as I pay monthly to SWBell, but the huge perk would be unlimited long distance calls. I never call [...]
Under God…
Pledge of Allegiance ruled unconstitutional: “For the first time ever, a federal appeals court declared the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional Wednesday because of the words “under God” added by Congress in 1954.” [via Choire]
While I agree to an extent with the premise of this fight (the separation of church & state is pretty clear) [...]
Wake Up Call…
It seems like the French got a wake-up call. They were Alarmed by Anti-Tobacco Ad. I’d have to say the ad was pretty effective and got the attention it deserves – which is a good thing. Even as a young child I wondered why people smoke when it can cause cancer and [...]
Hide Outlook…
Ever wish you could minimize Outlook to the system tray? Well, now you can. “HideOutlook creates a Tray Icon, and allows you to show and hide Outlook by double clicking the icon. It can also be set to hide Outlook when you minimize it.” Sweet! [via David Gagne's Work in Progress]
