The only way that the weather in Chicago could be worse right now is if every slushy raindrop contained a tiny invertebrate parasite that burrowed into your skin if it hit you and screamed at a high frequency if it didn’t. It would be an itchy, icy, wet, miserable cacophony of cold, wet, itchy noise.

Aspeth, author of 12yearsofbeingannoyedbychloesevigny brought this to my attention.
Blogger Albert Foong over at Urban Monk has developed a really fantastic idea to increase link-sharing, while a major charity ultimately benefits with a nice cheque from the blogosphere.
Foong’s idea is called “Blog Apocalypse: 2 minutes from you, $500 (to $1,000) to charity from me” Here’s how […]

It’s been an interesting couple days here at work. Last Wednesday my laptop died. Last Thursday I spent all day trying to fix it and failed. Last Friday our IT coordinator was fired. She wasn’t fired for my computer crashing; that was just a bad coincidence. I actually feel bad for her. It was one […]

It will take me a couple days to get back into the swing of things around here after being away from the internet for the past 72 hours.

So awhile back I made a post called “Ambien Forces Married Couple to Sleep in Same Bed”
The post is intended to be humorous. It’s simultaneously poking fun at this country’s pharmaceutical craze as well as the growing tendency of married couples to sleep in separate beds (even separate rooms.)
As the post aged and […]

I have installed the DoFollow Plugin. In short, this allows comments you leave here to count as an external link to your own website. More external links result in a higher page rank for your own site. I realize that many of my posts don’t exactly beg to be discussed in the form of comments […]

Uh, perhaps I should clarify that. I’m quickly developing a short list of tagline phrases that are so overplayed that they automatically lead me to assume that the blog behind the link has absolutely nothing original to offer. In other words, they’re like a horrible body odor that keeps me away from your writing.
