I would like to start off by stating that I have been waiting to post until I have had enough time to write a super well thought out piece about something very relevant to the issues we face today. This has been a bad idea though because this amount of time either never comes or […]
I’ve listed below the 10 most common dog and cat names based on a recent analysis of VPI’s 450,000 insured pets: Dogs: Max, Molly, Buddy, Bella, Lucy, Maggie, Daisy, Jake, Bailey & Rocky. Cats: Max, Chloe, Lucy, Tigger, Tigger, Smokey, Oliver, Bella, Sophie & Princess. Two things of note: 1) Max wins for both and […]
My friend, who has been working on Obama’s campaign for the last almost two years now, sent me the video below which, while being Pro-O, is definitely entertaining. Via YLFO
I have no clue how Yahoo! got the Tolkien estate to give them rights to use Bilbo and Gandalf to advertise how you can text and chat inside Yahoo!’s email offering. Half of me thinks it is oddly interesting to “watch” Mr. Wizard and the Halfling converse as if they were 15 year old girls. […]

Since my last post: I rented with friends an apartment house near the Leidseplein in Amsterdam and then the following weekend a swank hotel room with […]
It has never happened before in club history: Ebbsfleet United will be playing in Wembley Stadium in the FA Trophy final on May 10. I am so happy for all the supporters who have rooted for the team for the past few weeks, years or decades. The future is bright. Up the Fleet!
