We all know someone whose uncle’s cousin’s wife’s brother-in-law forwarded them an email that conclusively PROVED that Obama is a Muslim (photos wearing turban! In Somalia-wherever on God’s earth that may be!!1!) , or a Jew (photos wearing yarmulke! At the Wailing Wall!!1!), has black children, is the right-hand man of Bin Laden, leading to…

Circa December 2006, a new meme started creeping around the blogosphere. It’s hard to pinpoint the originator, but it is lost in the mists of the hoary internet past. No one is willing to take ownership of the first time this game of Blog Tag was started. It is simple: Tell five secrets about yourself…

A couple of days ago a friend forwarded me an email that she received from a friend of hers. No, this was not a "from a friend to a friend to a friend" type of chain letter originating at an obscure source. The message came from a "real" man with a name whom my friend…

(Pssst….this is just a test of sorts to check the embedded video feature. I’m sure these videos have been already around the internet for some days now. Don’t be afraid that we…

Recently Matt went to an art show. He saw art and he met people. During the course of events the artist informed him that computers have watered down our lives like ice does to Coke. But Matt wasn’t drinking Coke – with or without ice. He drank beer and ran into some obstacles with the…

I will be leaving town tomorrow for a few days. Unless someone else posts in my absence, the blog will not be refreshed after Tuesday, possibly until early next week. In fact I foresee a spotty blogging schedule during the entire month of May and perhaps the whole summer. My co-bloggers too will get busy…
