• Goodbye to "My Notepad" on the Main Page

  I loved my notepad.  It was a way for visitors to leave instant feedback or notes on "One Thing I know" without having to go through the process of leaving a comment.  The writing on the Notepad (A Google Gadget) often took on a life of its own as well.  For instance the most recent [...]

• How Evil Am I?

  A couple of my friends, Jim and Julie, have taken this quiz.  I am certainly not angelic, but when you answer three of the questions with "Habakkuk," "Jesus Freaks," and "Reverend,"  this is the result you can probably expect.
    How evil are you?
  And here I am in my angelic garb [...]

• From My Notepad

  Here is the conversation from my Notepad from last week. Just in case you want to read it.
  Anyone have a new topic?
  How about Lent?  Anybody "giving something up" for it?
  Sex, but then I gave that up years ago, so it’s no great sacrifice
  Hahaha! 
  I’m not really sure what the point [...]

• Jott - An "F" for Transcripts of Yesterday’s Moviepalooza Posts

  Yesterday, while attending AMC Movie Theater’s Annual Best Picture Marathon, I used Jott.  One of the things that Jott can do is to take your short phone calls, transcribe them, and then post them to your blog.  I don’t know if the connection was bad, I was talking too fast, or if there was just [...]

• Third Moviepalooza Post

  Hi, Will here.  The movie I just saw was Atonement, and I have just a couple of things to say:  First, Keira Knightly she needs some intervention.  The girl is most anorexic person I have seen in a long time.  Secondly this movie is probably the fourth weakest of the best picture nominees. [...]
