Okay, so I looked at my own Livejournal today without being logged in, and oh my, the ads are horrible to endure. I need to move my content elsewhere, but still have my LJ friends be able to follow it. I’m thinking WordPress on Dreamhost, since I already have an account there. Thoughts, comments, etc? [...]
So, I got a friendly letter in the mail today telling me my house is being reassessed. Any suggestions on making that as painless as possible? Is it automated, or do homeowners get input, or? Something you get an accountant for, an attorney for, or just grin and bear it?
Sylvester Stallone makes an action movie. With Sly himself starring. And Jason Statham. And Jet Li. And Mickey Rourke. Also with Dolph Lundgren. Arnold Schwartzenager. And Bruce Willis. And Randy Couture, the UFC champ. And wrestling’s Steve Austin. And Terry Crews, the President in Idiocracy. If he only had Van Damme or Segal, that’d be [...]

You find a location on the map, it shows you what the average household makes, what percentage of that goes to housing, and what goes [...]
Joined FourSquare, basically to track how much time I’m spending woodworking. Thanks to a tax break by Congress, I’m able to take an extra course this year, so I’ll get my degree three or four months earlier. Finally adapted to a *much* earlier schedule, and getting out of bed isn’t hard at all now. And [...]
The Russians built some crazy churches out of wood, this dog has a freakishly long tongue, and the 2005 Steelers didn’t win because of their running game. On the other hand, here’s what not to say to 60,000 nuns, and apparently, peak helium might also be a problem in our lifetimes. Weird. Work is great, [...]
