Sordid Blog

Can it really be two months since I last posted to my blog? Wow … the time flies. I was making such an effort to post while in London, and then that fell apart and then I thought, the week I get back, I’ll post the rest of my London 2009 trip entries (which I [...]

The magazine Fast Company reports on Chris Hughes, from Hickory, NC, and his work as co-founder of Facebook and on the Obama web campaign (thanks Towleroad).
I love this part: “At boarding school, he came of age more quickly than he had imagined. Part of that process was realizing he was gay: ‘I went to boarding [...]

Thanks to Towleroad for sharing the image below.  I suppose the reference to Dan White, Harvey Milk and George Moscone’s killer, continues to have cultural relevance for some homophobic assholes. Unbelievable. Dan White = Hero? Really? I was thinking more like “Dan White = Domestic Terrorist” … following Bush, I think I’m going to start [...]

Working on my blog has always been fun, but somehow, I’ve been letting work take over and not doing as much writing and blogging as before.  It’s hard to keep up with all the websites, the ones I used to enjoy skimming in the morning while having coffee and a bagel.  But with dogs to [...]

I think I’m definitely much much happier with the blog platform upgrade and the new theme. This one is a bit “boxier” than I think I’d have initially liked, but it works.  The colors are subtle and peaceful, and that seems good for the new year.  I also like the useful integration of my Facebook [...]

The time had come, as it does each Christmas, to rethink what I want to do with the blog and to update both the blog engine and the theme.  I have been running WordPress 2.5 for a year, and the major shifts that have happened in the last two platform updates have been amazing: more [...]

OMG … I laughed my ass off at this piece from upcoming season 2 of “Rick & Steve” … and I love that Andy Towle has a great sense of humor …

Those bitches …

So Orson Scott Card, whose Ender-series of books I’ve loved as some of my absolute favorite, has gone round the bend again with his own loving brand of homophobic bullshit. I guess you can love a book and an author for giving it to you without loving the person at all; perhaps they are [...]
