Strapping on My Jetpack
This has been a rough couple of weeks at work, and naturally it’s culminating in one of the worst weeks I’ve had in quite some time. So I need something good to happen. Really, anything.

Blog Action Day 2011
This year’s Blog Action Day snuck up on me. Normally they send out a series of emails to promote the day months and weeks in advance so that bloggers like myself can prep some content. This year, I got one Friday telling me it was today. Not sure if I maybe missed some emails earlier, […]
Friday Funnies
I know you’ve put up with my goofy obsession with movie bloopers, and while you may not enjoy them all, you have to take a moment and check this one out. And if you can’t see the amazing movie screwup here, then you are blind and have no sense of humor. Because how this happened […]
