I swear I had nothing to do with it… I use Thunderbird for all of my email services, and it does a fantastic job of pre-filtering spam from my in-box. I also subscribe to a number of newsletters, including both the Democratic and Republican parties’ official newsletters. Those I get from the Republicans get shuffled [...]

Real Espresso?
I’ve decided to break down and acquire a new, “real” espresso machine – I’ve been using a steam-driven Krups model for some time, but to be honest, it just makes good, strong coffee… Now I’m looking around for that ever elusive combination of good quality machine and affordable price. I’ve been scouring the web for [...]
Someone had a ‘duh’ moment
I’ve been an off and on E-bay buyer for years – nothing serious – but more than enough to recognize the potential for fraudulent bidding. The only thing that amazes me about this article is that the author seems to believe this is news; something novel and unique that has only cropped up recently, or [...]
Black Eyed Peas for New Year’s Day
Found this page to reference a tradition I’ve taken part of since learning it from my good southern friends, the Slades. Black Eyed Peas for New Year’s Day Blackeyed peas have long been a tradition for the New Year’s table. They supposedly bring good luck for the coming year, and eating them shows “humility”. Some [...]

Interesting Things This Week
I may make this a regular posting for these weeks when there isn’t much that makes me want to rant… Here are some things I’ve read/seen that I thought were pretty interesting this week: Danny Bonaduce vs. the “9-11 Truther” The original interview (Very entertaining!) Barrack Hussein Obama? Sure, it’s only a name, but can [...]
What story does this picture tell?
Found this on BoingBoing Vintage photo of dead horse raises questions A vintage Sheboygan photo, taken before the turn of the 20th century, has sparked some conversation in the community since its inclusion in The Sheboygan Press’ 2007 calendar. The photo, which is inside the calendar’s front cover, shows a scene at Eighth Street and [...]

Strange things happen to posts, sometimes…
Somehow the post I had thought eaten when my browser went where I hadn’t intended… reappeared after I had rewritten it. I failed to notice, so now there are two versions of basically the same post. The second one is better, and actually complete (and perhaps even worded a tad less harshly), and although one [...]
“Great Kid”, “Really Sweet Boy”
You may have heard about it by now. A violent animal was shot and killed last Friday while police attempted to serve a warrant for his arrest. His dog was shot too, which is probably the saddest part of this story. The details of the shooting are not out, but from the pieces that are [...]
Cyborgs Rock!
This rocks: Get Your Cyborg Name Thanks, John!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I was out of town over the holiday to celebrate the annual feast of the bird and give thanks for being who and where we are, sorry for being so neglectful. Maybe a few of you bothered to take the time to watch that video? Anyway… happy (belated) Thanksgiving!
“Conservative YouTubers” rolls into the top 10
Congratulations to the newly formed “Conservative YouTubers” group! As of tonight, it’s now in the top 10 and closing in on even YouTube’s own group. Too bad YouTube’s interface is so screwed up. I joined the group earlier today, but when trying to access it tonight, I get “join to participate”, followed by “you’re already [...]
