  • Steal these buttons!

    Posted a bunch of new mini-buttons (the increasingly popular 80×15 format) to Steal These Buttons, most of which you’ll see in my new button bar on the left. (Most of them are probably still pending, though, and not on the main page yet.)

    Want to make your own buttons like these? Well, the Make page on Steal These Buttons has parts that you can put together yourself, or for the lazy, there’s a motorized verision here.

  • Thirties

    I heard this morning on WTOP that a study announced that both geniuses and criminals do their best work in their 30s, and both mainly to impress the opposite sex. So, it’s comforting to know that my best days are ahead of me, but it begs the question— what about Criminal Geniuses? MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAA!!

    Anyway, last night and this morning I noticed that whenever I […]

  • Puppet Head

    So I heard on WTOP this morning that President Bush is leaving on a 5-day “goodwill tour” of Africa. In the meantime, the commander who led American forces to dubious victory in Afghanistan and Iraq setps down to let his sucessor handle the tougher job of making peace. Is it just me, or does anyone else think this all sounds like some plot straight out of Dave?

  • A Capitol Fourth

    So, for the first time, our family went downtown to view the Independence Day celebrations on the Mall in Wahington, DC…

    We went down an hour early to get space on the west lawn of the Capitol building for watching the concert that was to start at 8pm. When we got there, though, it was […]
