Small Town Values
Preface: This post works best if you play Lynyrd Skynrd’s “Simple Kind of Man” while you’re reading it. There’s been a lot of talk during the silly-season of this election about “small town values,” but no one really ever stops to define what the hell those values are (probably because the folks who are […]
Political Rhetoric- Examining Palin
Last night, the GOP presented its new star, Sarah Palin, to the world at the RNC. She delivered her speech with zeal and confidence, and I’m quite sure the McCain folks feel pretty damn good about her performance. I’m also pretty sure that after watching Palin, the “always-vote-Jesus” crowd might actually do something unthinkable come […]
Hypercooking–Gravy Edition
I’m sorry that I had to break this episode into two parts and then upload it on two different websites. Since YouTube insists on capping videos at ten minutes, I’ll probably be uploarding exclusively to Metacafe from now on. Keep an eye out for Ellie, my little Key Grip, at the end of clip two. […]
A Hypernote And A New Segment
So it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. There are two reasons for this: 1) I had to update WordPress, my blogging software, and the installation went horribly awry.

Working On It
I’m in the middle of upgrading my installation of WordPress. It’s gone okay, but there are several things that are still pretty much borked.

Our Troubles Are All The Same
I’m exhausted, so I’ll write a full wrap-up of my Boston trip tomorrow night. Till then, here are a few photos: Here I am at the Sam Adams brewery sampling some of their wonderful beer. I saw some of the native wildlife today. Cheers. It looks cool, but they have a huge gift shop. They […]

Can Someone Please Pronounce It “Bahstan” For Me? Please?!
I’m not a very good airplane passenger. I tend to get…well, nervous is a nice way to put it. Twitchier than a crackhead is another. But I’m proud to write that I made it to Boston with little to no flop-sweat on my brow. My conference doesn’t really begin until tomorrow, so today I just […]
Leaving On A Je…Wait, I’ve Used That Title Before Haven’t I?
I’m currently at the San Antonio airport on my way to Boston for a conference. I’ve got a layover in DFW, which apparently doesn’t have free wifi for some idiotic reason, and then I arrive this afternoon in the city of the Cream Pie (isn’t that what Boston is famous for? I’m fuzzy on my […]
