I'm the village idiot, I don't have anything to do with this pathetic little opera, I just felt like passing through!
Smittie I read Engadget pretty much daily. They had a t-shirt contest, they posted the results, they aren’t allowing comments on their web site and I feel strongly enough about this that I have to comment so I’ll put it on mine. Go here and take a look at the winning t-shirt. Now take a look … Read more
In the course of migrating from Eclispe Hosting (which was bought by Jumpline Hosting) to Host Excellence I upgraded my Movable Type install to 3.2.

This smacks of childishness. And that is not to say the the Republicans aren’t equally capable of such childish behaviour. Only that the Dems were caught at it this time. Of particular interest to me is the line of reasoning or lack thereof. It is quite possible that the reporter intends to present the Dems … Read more
