The (Other) End of the Internet

I’ve been debating about something. I recently heard about something called Blog365 2008. The idea is simple, actually. All that is required is (at least) one blog post every day of 2008.
The idea intimidates me just a little because, while I do a little work for companies who pay me to either write posts or […]

Having just finished the Christmas routine, I find myself thinking about Christmases gone by. I keep thinking about the year I was about 4 (I think) and all five of us kids were gifted with these things called Mini-boggans. If you’re too young to remember these, they were your basic “miniature toboggan”, which is to […]

Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m being silly again. On the off shot that Mr. Nimoy actually reads this, please understand that it’s all in good fun

My wife and I were Christmas shopping recently. Big surprise, there. We were shopping online. Another amazing surprise, I know. Don’t ask me how, but somehow we ended up looking at ceiling fans, of all things.
