A couple of links this morning that relate to some previous posts:
A while ago I addressed the perception that Barack Obama wasn’t black enough. As it turns out, some pundits (*cough*Fox News*cough*) feel he is too black. The guy can’t catch a break! Well, ever the font of wisdom, The Daily Show addresses the Obama […]
And it sure doesn’t stand for Wednesday either. Tomorrow marks the end of the Extended Holiday Season that I hate spending without a significant other (Thanksgiving to Valentine’s Day). And I have been single throughout. Not for lack of trying either. It’s been one of the most frustrating times I’ve ever had.

Had one of “those” experiences with amazon.com this week. On Jan 25 I placed an order. I was able to choose the Super Saver shipping. Now, I can be impatient, but it is sometimes worth it to suffer the catastrophic isolation of not having books to save a buck. The next day, I realized my […]
My RSS feed list is ridiculous. I won’t lie and say I read every post title of every feed, but I probably look at around 70% of them. And I read the post of far, far too many of those. I am an infovore. I’m currently at 119 subscriptions. I love RSS. My bookmarks list […]
