Superbowl Trivia - and Bram Stoker Preliminaries

01/23/08, 2:33 PM

I was talking with some other football fans today — actually, they were giving me a bunch of crap about the fact that The San Diego Chargers have never won a Superbowl.  I said I thought a bunch of teams had never even BEEN to the Superbowl.  None of us, it turned out, knew the answer, so I turned to…

Real Time Wikipedia Tracking Via Google…Weird

01/22/08, 7:32 AM

Check out this link…

And tell me that things have not started to get very, AI strange on us…

What that page is is a Google map that keeps track of every time someone updates something in Wikipedia, the online Encyclopedia, and tells you who did it, and where they did it from. It’s a very, very strange thing - cool, and…

Football Season Ends…the Words Continue

01/21/08, 1:34 PM

I sat and numbly watched my team, the beat and battered San Diego Chargers, lose the AFC Championship yesterday.  Then I watched the Giants end Brett Favre’s amazing run.  Both of these things depress me.  As a young lad, the Packers were my team based on a biography I read based on the life of Bart Starr.  I have come…

Proliferating words - and a blogroll, please….

01/19/08, 10:26 AM

One of the most confusing, irritating, and intriguing things about having a blog is the fine art of finding readers.  It’s all well and good to post and forget, and in a lot of cases I suppose that would work just fine.  This site, however, has the dual purposes of presenting my thoughts and words to the world, and attempting…

Black Sheep - Livestock Gone Bonkers…

01/18/08, 10:03 AM

Buy Black Sheep @ Horror Mall!

I didn’t go into this film expecting that the academy would bow down, and believe me, my opinion was vindicated. Still…this is a pretty funny movie. Genetic mutation. Tree-hugging terrorists. Mad scientists. Lycanthropic sheople… It really can’t get much better than this. We watched this film last night. I suggest you click on that image and buy it. Really. This…

Tales of the Southern Hotel - My daughter!

01/18/08, 9:37 AM

Okay, I’m a proud papa. My step-daughter, Stephanie, has been writing for years now. I suggested a while back that she gather the stories she’d written about Mary Lou, a girl who has dreams and visions that take her into the past of the Southern Hotel, which she and her family own and operate, and put them into a book.…

Collections Update - Free Stories

01/17/08, 12:22 PM

I’ve been busy updating the site.  I’ve added pages for my collections “The Subtle Ties That Bind,” “Defining Moments,” and “The Fall of the House of Escher”.  Two of them have free stories available to be read and enjoyed…more will be added.  These are all linked from the Stories link on the right.

I’m reluctant to give up on my database,…

RSS Hugger - a Site for Blog-love

01/16/08, 4:33 PM

Just a quick review here.  I was doing some research on promoting your blog (having this new one, and all) and it’s discouraging.  For the most part the big sites require a lot of input and effort on your part to compete for top spots, and they are PLAGUED with spam blogs - blogs that just collect headlines from other…
