The (Other) End of the Internet

While helping the new neighbors unload their junk stuff, I noticed a really nice looking stereo cabinet and, for some unknown reason, all day I’ve been thinking about the “entertainment center” that my father had. He made it out of a refrigerator that he had gutted. To cover the hideous green, he screwed sheets of […]

I had never heard of fire glass until this morning. At first I thought it was just a special kind of glass that goes into those glass doors you frequently see in front of fireplaces.
Wrong.
These are small glass beads that you put in the bottom of a burner which fits in your gas fireplace.

That’s a […]

I woke up yesterday morning to the soothing sound of a semi truck positioning a mobile home on the property next door. Oh goody, neighbors! (sigh.)
Today was apparently Moving Day, as evidenced by the U-Haul that showed up loaded to the gills. I went out to see what was going on and, before I knew […]

If you were to draw a cartoon character based on a real person, and that real person happened to be Peter Mark Richman, then the cartoon character you ended up drawing would more than likely be Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

I’ve been quietly watching this develop for the last several months and, after what I was told this morning, I can’t keep my mouth shut any longer.
It started last June, when Google was due to release the quarterly page rank updates. Anyone who has a website and wants people to actually visit that site is […]

Okay, it’s a little late and I’m feeling a little punchy, so here’s a somewhat unique “Separated At Birth” entry for your enjoyment.

The Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man (Mr. Stay-Puff) had his 15 minutes of fame in the movie Ghostbusters when he was defeated while trying to destroy the Earth.
Who doesn’t remember The Michelin Man? He’s been […]

I saw an article just now that claims that with the housing market the way it is right now, this is actually an excellent time to buy a second home.
I understand how, with mortgages being foreclosed right and left, there are so many homes on the market right now that the average price is dropping […]
