Gather.com Piece

Friday, October 13th, 2006

For something a little different than the 10-word uninformed rants here, you can go to Gather.com and read a 1,000 word uninformed rant.

Required Reading?

Friday, October 6th, 2006

I was, to say the least, surprised to find my rant on permission slips on the reading list for a class assignment. (Inflating my ego two notches past the previous "intolerable" level.) Even more surprising (or maybe not) was that I used to work with the teacher's husband. This is why ...

Other Ventures

Friday, October 6th, 2006

I was offered a chance to write some words on the Montana election over at Gather.com. I've put the first one up, a recap of the Senate race to date. There's probably nothing that you, dear reader, don't already know, but go on over and have a look anyway. Gather is a social ...

From The Ditka-Tionary

Sunday, September 17th, 2006

Ya gotta Love Mike Ditka. I have to do an OS refresh on this machine today to get rid of some cruft. Wish me luck, and I'll talk to you later.

Just For Reference

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

I don't know why, but it strikes me that now might be a good time to read 'Da Rules, if you haven't already.

Cha-CHING!

I'm #1! I'm #1! I'm #1!

PONG Still Around?

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

Sho 'Nuff. I just wasted 20 minutes playing PONG. I think PONG is older than me. Not quite? Well, almost, dammit.

No Such Thing As Bad Publicity

Monday, August 28th, 2006

I just got off the phone with John Adams of the Missoula Independent, who is doing a feature about blogging, presumably to appear in Wednesday's Thursday's edition. I'll keep you posted because I do love reading about me.

I Knew This Would Come Back to Bite Me

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

I'm at #3 for this search, down from #2. I'm not sure if this person was looking for the actual rules for playing cornhole, which incidentally, can be found here, or just looking for people who feel that, as Beavis might say, "Cornholing Totally RULES! RULES! RULES!"

The Past 2 Months, Condensed

Saturday, July 22nd, 2006

Once upon a time there was a non-conforming sparrow who decided not to fly south for the winter. However, soon the weather turned so bitterly cold, that he reluctantly started to fly south. In a short time ice began to form on his wings and he fell into a barnyard, almost ...

Still Kicking. Mostly.

Thursday, July 6th, 2006

I see that some of you are still hanging around, despite the lack of any real content around here. I do appreciate that. It's humbling. Things around here have been . . . interesting, and as the weatherman might say, "...with a high probability of continued interesting." Or something like that. Thanks for ...

Test Pattern

Saturday, June 17th, 2006

Off the air until 6/26. At least I'm off the air. You may hear something from Gman or the gang, but I'll be incommunicado until at least 6/26. There are scads of emails and phone calls that I need to get caught up on, and if you're among those, ...

Mother Said There’d Be Days Like These

Saturday, June 3rd, 2006

Well, actually she didn't, inasmuch as today, I am wanting to split town and join a monastic order — a flagellant order, no less. Simply because it would be less painful. Is my moving stress showing? Really. Be honest now.
