One of the side benefits of my new working/house-sharing conditions with Jim Groom is getting a chance to watch some movies together. I have a lot of backlog to catch up to his catalog, but this week we watched two classic films, that almost randomly had eerie amounts of similarity. The first was Blowup, apparently […]

But a challenge is a challenge, so I have an effort for the ds106 Make ’em Laugh assignment, submitted by my pal Darren Kuropatwa: Find a good, brief joke in a language other than your mother tongue; if you don’t know any other […]
cc licensed (BY) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog I’ve been pretty knocked flat by a cold I picked up on my flight home last Monday, most noticeably not having much energy to do much photography.
