Love it!
From what I can tell, the kid’s supposed to be a lion, and there’s something about ransom and doctors. I’m not too sure, my Italian is too meager.

David Hasselhoff and wife injured in motorcycle accident blamed on “high winds.” It’s obviously not David’s fault; he has mad skills.

Birdies are Annoying

I know most people love the coming of spring, but when I hear these damn birds chirping in the morning, it makes me think that summer is just around the corner. I used to love summer, but seven summers in Georgia have trained me to dread it. I know that sounds pessimistic, but [...]

Think twice before opening a coffee shop and calling it Sacred Grounds, Hallowed Grounds, Fertile Grounds or any other kind of Something Grounds.
You really should halt yourself before paging me at 1 AM to say “thanks” for working so much. I have to sleep sometime, you fuck.

Why do we have a Bloogle?

Now that we’ve had a few days for it to sink in, I’m starting to see some truly interesting commentary on why on Earth Google would buy Blogger.
One of the more interesting takes I’ve read isDave Winer’s, although I do not believe he is correct in assuming that Blogger’s database did not play heavily into [...]

On another note, and an item pushing my life towards perfect, is the fact that I noticed a Mexican restaurant is opening where Margy’s Pantry used to be. This is big news. Mexican food within walking distance is a very, very rare and beautiful thing.

W3mix Contest

Tag! You’re Dead

I’m not sure what to make of this, but apparently there’s a subculture of bug chasers. The idea here is that healthy, HIV-negative men meet with and have sex with HIV-positive men “bareback” style. In other words, they are trying to become infected with the HIV virus, which they have eroticized and equated [...]
