One of these things is not like the other

Once a month, Deb and I go out to dine with Mike, the graphics designer for the newsletter. It is sort of a tradition for the staff of Erie Gay News. (Okay, so there are just 3 of us. Whatever!) Today, Deb wanted to go up the tower at the Tom Ridger Environmental Center. . . . → Read More: One of these things is not like the other

GLBT screening at Great Lakes Film Fest

So, I took a half day off from work yesterday to go to the GLBT screening at the Great Lakes Film Fest. One of the films was the documentary, We Belong: The Movie, which was about 2 area teens and which was put together by Joe Wilson, who is from this area, and his . . . → Read More: GLBT screening at Great Lakes Film Fest

Bush jams foot in mouth. Again.

Sigh! Does anyone else get the extremely ironic humor in Shrub making a grammatic error in trying to reauthorize No Child Left Behind? Maybe we should be working on No Half Wit White House Resident Left Behind? Oh yeah, and if he mispronounces “nuclear” to have a second “u” sound, I think he should . . . → Read More: Bush jams foot in mouth. Again.

We had a call from the big bad conversion customer from last week. The person in accounting is rather uncomfortable with change.

Binging on Madrigals

Let me start by saying that my tastes in music have always been pretty odd. I also have some weird issues about listening to music that I particularly like around other people. When we were kids, my dad would sometimes get drunk, sit on the front stoop (ick! That just felt so low class), . . . → Read More: Binging on Madrigals

Chat with Mom and thoughts on the good and the bad of human nature

I had a nice chat with my Mom today. She has been through a rough patch, but is still her usual chipper and upbeat self. I guess that Monday she took my Grandma to have the cast taken off her arm. My step-grandfather has been having some mobility problems. He went from not needing . . . → Read More: Chat with Mom and thoughts on the good and the bad of human nature

Botched name silliness

I just overheard the owner of the company say that a local media had slipped up and referred to our company as Erie Custom Computer Appliances. Trust me. When it is found out who leaked about the upcoming PC/microwave oven (it supports Windows Vista AND is can heat a frozen dinner in under 2 . . . → Read More: Botched name silliness

Larry Craig memento for sale

Wow! Talk about capitalism at its finest, or most tawdry. Someone on eBay is actually selling toilet paper from the Minneapolis airport restroom where Larry Craig was arrested as a political memento. Hmm, maybe Larry is financing his legal fees this way? This is too surreal for words. Every time I have seen the . . . → Read More: Larry Craig memento for sale
