Good Grief! moves to a new host, shit breaks
Blogging about blogging is sooooo tedious. Therefore, I will not blog about blogging. Instead this blog is about how I am not blogging about blogging and in fact am not blogging much at all because of a blog project that is keeping me too busy to blog. When the super-secret blog project […]
And now, a word from my lawyers

I do not blog about my personal life

Yeah, yeah… Google has some super cool applications. As you surely know, Google Maps makes Mapquest seem so late 90s. And Gmail is great once you embrace the “no folders” way of thinking.
