Random Acts of Mind by Dones

My ‘Weird Products‘ post has garnered a significant award this week, namely the Homer Simpson Transmundanity Award from MC on his blog. I’d like to give the following Dave Foley acceptance speech in reply (please understand this is from a Kids in the Hall skit): [Title on screen reads: "Career Ending Moments in Show Business [...]

I finally found the statistics page of my website host, and I am more encouraged about the overall number of people coming to my website as a whole. I had to go by pages served instead of total hits to avoid it including all the webcrawler traffic and the images I host here for use [...]

One of my earlier post series was Government Improvement Week, posted the first week of 2005. In observance of Independence Day next week, I would like to announce Government Improvement Week 2006, beginning Monday, July 3rd, right here on this blog.

[waits. listens for echo.] No echo in here, so I know somebody’s around… I’m real close to deciding on my blog templates despite [...]
