Happened to stumble upon Twitter. Not yet sure what it is other than another social networking website people can go to just blab about whatever they feel like at that moment — sort of like talking out loud in a room you think is probably empty, but may suddenly have a hundred people listening and [...]
Conspiracy theorists must be having a field day after NASA’s announcement that they had lost the original film taken of the first moonwalk. For decades, the walk on the moon has been regarded by some as a hoax, and the misplacement of the primary evidence might seem suspicious to the already jaded. Some of the [...]
I took a picture this weekend at a children’s birthday party. It was unaltered from the original; there was no cropping, brushing, exposure correction, filtering, or any other editing done to the photograph. I know it’s not a great photograph, and certainly not an example of my best work; it was simply a candid photo [...]

Along with some personal contact information, I sent the following email message just after noon to the California Integrated Waste [...]
Yes, Stephanie has returned! The deranged Playmate, her ill-gotten claim to fame being sprawled spread-eagled on the pages of the November 1992 issue of Playboy, has focused her venom on RR…, posting a dozen or so ramblings in her own infamous style, spewing her unwarranted filth across the comment section of my “personal” Internet. Her [...]
I was reminded the other day of how hated we Americans are. An admittedly stupid website was reporting that Pippi Longstocking is a Satanic character, and the visiting Swedes (Sweden being the country of Pippi’s origin) let their opinions fly:
Another stupid American; the world is full of them!
You’re probably a stupid American áššhølë!
