Dulcinea
Long night, good night. Tantek “You Should See The Other Guy” Celik joined me for a sushi safari. Who should walk in the door but Bubb Rubb himself. He was there moddin' the salmon skin rolls. I saved me some for brekfuss. As the evening progressed, we found our way to The Fillmore to see [...]
Baffled Beyond Belief
This is the weirdest Internet problem I've ever had to face. I can get to the Web just fine. I can use FTP just fine. I can send and receive e-mail just fine. I can IM just fine. I can get to all of Lockergnome's Web sites through my browser (obviously), but I can't access [...]

One of our generation's finest writers has finally jumped into the blogging world. And his entries are every bit as funny as his syndicated column. He called my chest a “bold new enterprise.” Funny.

She gave me a good guffaw, and was the random pick for this week's blib winner: “My xylem lies over [...]
Son of Blibs

Enter once lest you care to be disqualified. When we hit 100, that's when I'll pick a winner. You will know it is time to enter [...]
Half Mast
For the brave ones… too few knew you.
No Fly Zone
I'm saddened by this morning's Shuttle disaster, but I'm far from surprised. The families of Rick Husband, William McCool, Michael Anderson, Kalpana Chawla, David Brown, Laurel Clerk, and Ilan Ramon were part of an unscheduled experiment. “Let's see what happens when we don't give enough money to the space program.” Well, it's obvious to everybody [...]
