Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Here’s a rant for people who build an online shop, and then forget what that www at the beginning is all about. Let me just describe five incidents I have had where I have wanted to buy something for someone in another country, and I couldn’t do it, because I didn’t live in that country. …

I’m not sure which bots wrote this or what if any human assistance they may have had in doing so (parts of it are so perfectly ridiculous that I feel like there has to have been some), but I enjoyed it more than I do most Christmas movies, so that’s good enough for me. By …

This one’s for Carin and my other Star Trek loving friends. Me? I have no idea who anyone is here, but I enjoyed it all the same. In the grand tradition of Star Trek captains singing holiday standards, for your consideration: “Wonderful Deep Space Nine” sung by Captain Sisko, Major Kira, Constable Odo, Lieutenant Commander …

Everybody, sing along! Having gridlock Christmas was almost my experience. The plan was to head out today and head for Mom and Dad’s place, about 300 miles away. But because the roads still sound like they suuuuuuuck, we decided to head out tomorrow. This decision was made with no help from the folks at 570 …
If you’re looking for a little holiday music to get you into the spirit of the season, you know, just in case all the damn snow isn’t enough for you, how about a little José Van Haliano? Music used in this mashup: Jose Feliciano – Feliz Navidad Van Halen – Ain’t Talkin’ ’bout Love Guitar …

I guess I have some time to write this as I sit here on hold with Via Rail figuring out the very thing I’m talking about in this post. As this snow storm of seeming doom rumbles towards us, the news can’t stop telling us to “alter our travel plans. They make it sound so …
