This is Michael Nutter, and he is going to run for mayor of Philadelphia. There is one large problem with this candidate, a problem that so far has been overlooked by the mainstream media.
Never fear. Once again I am using my grassroots journalist blogger skills to keep the citizens of our fair metropolis informed. […]

There’s some debate about whether putting trolleys back onto Route 15 (Philadelphia’s Girard Avenue) is a good thing, but whatever. The trolleys have returned, they look all cool and retro, and they replace those smoke-and-grime-belching busses.*
During many years of riding SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority) busses from Fairmount to Center City, I never encountered […]

‘Cause your friends don’t dance and if they don’t dance
Well they’re no friends of mine
It is time to put these outdated prejudices behind us. We must strive to embrace all of humanity—even those people who do not dance. It is not our place to judge, and we cannot truly understand those who do […]

I’ve been in the Information Technology (IT) biz for almost ten years. During that time we got some exciting stuff like the Internet, Y2K hysteria, dot coms, and dot bombs. I’ve adjusted from the comforting world of programming in COBOL/IMS/CICS on a central mainframe to the mysterious world of n-gazillion-tier applications and Microsoft certifications that […]

Visiting the Salvador Dali retrospective at Philadelphia’s Museum of Art made me realize that I don’t know much about this strange Spaniard.* I’m more of a Picasso woman, I guess, though thankfully my eyes and breasts are located in the normal places.
We all know about the melting clocks and the lobster phones, but did […]

Thanks to Clair, who probably just wanted to relax after a long day of work last Thursday but instead endured an expletive-laden phone call about DVD players and why the fuck would they put two red holes in the back when there is only one goddamn red plug and what kind of moron wrote that […]
