I had no idea that Obama's mother was an anthropologist! Say no more!

Brief Introduction

That is, the introduction of the 'brief' blogging tool. I've been on hiatus so long that there's many topics I should address but not enough time or energy to do so with thoroughness (thoroughty?). When I entitle a post with 'brief' it means that I'll deal with the topic in a sentence or two.

Brief: Space Madness

Found a fun link to wav-sound files of some of my favorite insanity. Like Ren & Stimpy. Site's called "Frogstar" which is evocative enough. Enjoy.

This is a backpost finished 4/10/08, but who cares really.

Belfry WebComics Index

Some dude(s) put together a list of (what appears to be) all the comics found on the internet. WOW: The Belfry WebComics Index

I Wish I Did This

I had totally forgotten about this link! This perfectly elaborates my previous post (rant) about information technology. Bravo to the author, Justin Kahn: Powerful Stories Made Impotent by the Introduction of Cellphones.
