That one right there, crossing the finish line
of the 43rd Annual Birch Bay Marathon at 3:31:43.
Quote: “I’m totally wearing this medal to school tomorrow.”
Not sure who’s prouder, him or me (or his mom).

Thought you were guaranteed the right to speak out by that silly little thing, the Constitution? Well, maybe you were wrong. “As she fights to keep her job at Central Bucks East High School, 30-year-old Natalie Munroe says she had no interest in becoming any sort of educational icon.” –Pa. teacher strikes nerve with ‘lazy
Continue reading In Which I Wax Somewhat Rantic (Again) BRIGHTON, ENGLAND, SEPTEMBER 2009 I wake up in a hotel room 5,000 miles from my home in Seattle. After breakfast, I step out into the salty air and walk the coastline of the country that invented my language, though I find I can’t understand a good portion of the signs I pass on my way—LET Continue reading The Other Side of the Turing Test Because three people have DM’d me on Twitter to ask why: For the context, check here, here, and here (read all three). The hook on the end of a tape measure is loose for a reason. It slides just far enough so that you get an accurate Continue reading Completely Irrelevant Fact o’ the Day By now, the story of Judith Griggs and “Cooks Source” magazine is all over the internet. I’m going to assume you’re familiar with it (if not, go read this article at Wikipedia, which I’m fairly certain is not the “my own Wikipedia page!” she may have been fantasizing about a year ago), so I’m not Continue reading The Price of Innocence Proof that I really do exist outside the story… My son, Warrant Officer Aaron Montgomery, and his wife, Lt Anne (Rocky) Montgomery, graduated on 27 Oct 2010 as United States Army helicopter pilots.

You know what’s dumb about these Continue reading So we’ve all got these smartphone thingies, right? Because if “Doh!” could be linked to dada, that would just be too cool. Ok, a slightly twisty, bumpy road for you to follow this morning: I’ve been following @jdistraction on Twitter for some time now, but haven’t actually made it all the way to her blog. You know how it is; too many things to Continue reading A Little Detective Help, If You Would? Google seems to truly believe that all information in the world should either be free, or should result in an income stream for them. First, they try to claim every copyrighted work on Earth, scan them, put them online, and make money off them, now they seem to think that all of your email contacts, Continue reading Just a quick note re Google greed (and spying) A Non-Review I don’t really believe that I’m qualified any longer to compare ÜberTwitter to any of the zillion or so other Twitter clients for BlackBerry, since I have given only the most cursory glance to any of the others for quite some time now. So this isn’t a fair and balanced review in any way Continue reading ÜberTwitter – Still Everything TwitterBerry Wishes it Was |
