end of Unofficial Month of Blogging 2011 – but Bin Laden is dead, so who cares?

| May 2, 2011

Seriously. I was going to type up something about how focused blogging made me think/act/feel blah blah but I can’t really get my head around anything else right now. So, thanks for all who played (see the sidebar link), and thank you to all involved in taking out Bin Laden!  

For the Horde!? Additional participants in UMoB

| April 2, 2011

What’s the best way to be productive?  PEER PRESSURE!  OK, maybe not, but it helps.  I’ve invited bloggers from the horde to join in my little made up event.  It’s going to be weird not going it solo for the 3rd time. Weird = good. Of course, anyone else who wants “in” (whatever that is) [...]

Welcome to the Unofficial Month of Blogging, Now with “Things people never ask me”

| April 1, 2011

I figured I’d start off Unofficial Month of Blogging (UMOB!  U-mob? Bom-u?) by dredging up and finishing my oldest post draft (from Jan ’10) and finding a way to post links to lots of old posts.   I think I was probably going for something humorous, but I think I lost that track, so I’ll [...]

blogtrophy

| February 15, 2011

It’s like a combination of atrophy and … something else I’ve already forgotten.  Entropy?  But not at all like a catastrophe. I just haven’t felt much like posting lately.  There are one or two things I kind of wanted to write more than a paragraph or two about but then… meh. I’m still here, I’ll [...]

trying out Disqus comments

| January 7, 2011

I figured I might as well give it a shot. As of right now, *all* of the blog comments are AWOL…but they are supposed to come back.  I suppose I should have backed up before trying this but hey, <insert colorful idiom here, preferably one with deep cultural significance and somehow involving a rhino>, right? [...]

Rest in peace, UBM

| March 31, 2010

David Mills, aka the blogger known as Undercover Black Man, passed yesterday of a brain aneurysm. I’ve been following his blog for a couple years.  He was not that old.   To just die, out of nowhere?  So tragic.  I don’t have anything eloquent to say.  My heart goes out to his friends and family. Here [...]

For those new folks that are stumbling in lately..

| March 1, 2010

I see a few of you.  Go stats page!  No pressure to say “hi” or anything – although it definitely might make me smile a bit if you do. In light of the digital foot traffic, I thought it might be a good time to post a general little summary of what it is I [...]

de-d*nkification

| June 24, 2009

Note: No d*nkeys were harmed in this post. If I have any avid blog readers, they may have noticed me removing all direct traces of the infamous “d*nkey p*rn” phrase from my blog.  It was funny for a while, but now I’m trying to clean up my hits and see what people are actually finding [...]

end: Unofficial Month of Blogging ’09

| May 2, 2009

So I managed at least one post every single day last month – I think for the first time I’ve done this in the 4.5 years I’ve been blogging. Interestingly, I don’t think I got many more comments than I would in a standard month, nor did I really pick up any new active commenters [...]

Blog has moved!

| March 26, 2009

Did you notice? Hopefully not too much. Why? More customization: I can dl whatever theme I want (even though I’m not using that).  I can edit the .css and .html for the themes (you may not notice but I will!). I can hopefully allow other kinds of media embedding – wp.com embedding was driving me [...]
