So far so good, it works My MacBookPro is back and it works (well so far, a few hours). This MBP better stay lit, as in another day, I […]

flickr foto Gisela Storeavailable on flickr Small out of the way town south of Payson. This was the General Store and bar, closed for 3 years. I was poking around the net looking for anything about Gisela, Arizona, a town of minimal map dot size. For as many years I have driven north on the […]
Thanks to Todd for alerting me that a low life spammer was exploiting Feed2JS to redirect feed links to their product site. It was clever, coy, and annoying all in one package. The spammer was generating a feed that had embedded javascript in the channel->description field of the feed, and when rendered via Feed2JS with […]
It takes a creative mind to think of a catchy clog subtitle, you know, a pithy phrase that can run underneath the blog’s name.

The roaches are all […]
