Blogging With No Exit

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

Crossposted from my EchoDitto blog.
I am not a developer. I’m a writer with just enough technical knowledge to be dangerous. So there’s probably a lot I don’t know about creating blogging software. I’m not the guy who builds the platform. I’m the guy who comes goes comes in, redecorates, adds some content, and makes […]

Fitzmas/Fitzivus Coming Soon?

Friday, May 12th, 2006

Are the rumors killing you as much as they’re killing me? The latest is that in the pas week Rove told Bush and Bolton he will be indicted and will resign once Fitzgerald announces the charges.

Kill a Liberal for … ?

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006

What is with with right wing nutbags and death threats? Now Susan Sarandon says she’s gotten some too. How soon before someone gets killed just for being liberal?

Rove Indictment Due?

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

It’s been a while since we were counting the days ’til Fitzmas, but it looks like it may be time to start the countdown again. Shortly after news that Karl Rove has cut back on his policy-related duties (maybe the ones that required a security clearance?), we have word that Rove is meeting with FItzgerald […]

Video Game History

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

If you’ve ever spent all night playing a computer game, realized the sun was rising and wondered how it happened to you, check out this Google Video Discovery Channel program on the history of computer games. It’s long. Something like 46 minutes, but interesting viewing nonetheless.
And, yes, the first computer game I owned […]

Worldview Quiz

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

You scored as Emergent/Postmodern. You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don’t think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take […]

History Lesson c/o YouTube

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

OMFG. I know it’s not Saturday, but start your morning with this cartoon. Just trust me on this one.

Why wasn’t this taught in school when I was growing up? I agree with BattlePanda. YouTube has proven it’s worth. I just wonder how long people will be able to get away with posting this kinda stuff […]

Pandora’s Sidebar

Monday, April 24th, 2006

I’ve taken to exploring Pandora on a regular basis to expand my musical horizons, based on stuff I already like. So I added my Pandora favorites list to the sidebar. (There’s an RSS feed too.) If you have any recommendations, I’m always open to new music I might like.

CoComment

Thursday, April 20th, 2006

Lately I’ve felt like I haven’t been reading and participating in discussion on other blogs enough. So I registered for an account at CoComment, to keep track of my comments on other blogs. And to give myself an extra push, I’ve added a CoComment box to the sidebar, to show where I’ve commented and to […]

About.Com’s Top Blogs for Gay Men

Wednesday, April 19th, 2006

About.Com listed this one among the top blogs for gay men. And I love the description: "An in-depth social and political commentary from a gay, vegetarian, Buddhist, liberal African-American father. Need I say more?"

Coca Cola Adds Strife

So much for having a Coke and a smile.

Pictures from the Egg Roll

Monday, April 17th, 2006

Mine are coming, I promise, once Parker has gone to bed. (I spent more time taking video footage for Logo than I did taking pictures.) In the meantime, check out the pics from Joe Tresh. 

Video from the Egg Roll

Monday, April 17th, 2006

Still recovering, but here’s a bit of an update. As we were walking up to the White House gates this afternoon, were were approached by two different television crews. The reporters were great, and one of them even told us afterwards that she has two gay sons.

I also got to play at being media myself, […]
