Chiefs vs. Dolphins – Friday Night Football

Thursday, October 20th, 2005

NFL Ticket better be handling this game… Friday night at 7 PM EST the Chiefs will play the Dolphins in Miami. Should be an interesting game with the practice week cut short on one day’s notice. Crazy hurricane season has now even disrupted Kansas City Chiefs football. When will the madness end? Seriously, though. At [...]

They Say It’s Your Birthday

Wednesday, October 19th, 2005

It’s my birthday, too, yeah! 32 is a much easier birthday than 30 or even 31. I’m finally starting to feel like, “Hey, I’m in my lower 30s… that’s not too bad.” After all, if 40 is the new 30, that puts me in my mid-20s right?

Another big fat oops. Sometimes I think the spammers are destined to win. If I could do it all over again… I’d install blog software that never listed referers as links in a public stats page. What seemed like a cool feature turned out to be a hole exploited by spammers in an attempt to [...]

Yahoo! Podcasts

Monday, October 17th, 2005

Check out Yahoo’s new podcast search! I like it. Actually, I haven’t had much time to give it a thorough going through, but my podcast is already there, so I’m happy I don’t have to submit it to get it into the system. Several of you have giving me repeated reminders that I haven’t actually [...]

A Different Kind of God – 2

Sunday, October 16th, 2005

I’m reposting this because first I had the link wrong… then my comments were broken for a few days. So here it is again: A different kind of God… That’s what I’ve discovered over the past six or seven years. A different kind of God than I’d been taught about from my youngest of days. [...]

Comments Working Again

Sunday, October 16th, 2005

Mike was gracious enough to email me and let me know my comments were broken. Oops. I’ve had HUGE issues with referer spam. Basically, unethical search engine marketers write scripts targeting certain blogs (based on the software they use) to get referer hits. Even though I’ve taken public stats off, I”m still in their system. [...]

More proof that Wal-Mart is evil And what was so bad about this poster that the Secret Service took it? Okay, maybe, and I mean maybe, a case could be made for them investigating (I don’t even reallly believe that, to be honest), but to take the poster? On a Bill of Rights project? Supporting [...]

Weeds on Showtime

Friday, October 14th, 2005

Update: And now…   Click for Weeds Season 2 on iTunes! Weeds just finished its first season with quite a cliffhangeresque bang. I’ll save the spoilers, as you can still catch the final episode of the season tonight at 10 and 10:30 PST. So, for those of you who haven’t heard of the show, Weeds takes [...]
