Today is the All-American race day, the annual 1100 miles of racing during Memorial Day weekend.
Both the Indy 500 (the Indy Racing League Series) and the Coca-Cola 600 (the Nascar Nextel Cup Series) are today - making today one of my favorite days of the year.
I’m cooking today - beer brats, corn on the cob, [...]
If you haven’t already (and you blog), you need to upgrade to Wordpress 2.2.
It’s not an option, but a mandatory security fix.

The guys over at Common Craft have created an incredible resource for those that don’t really understand feedreading.
Feeds are an amazing. Seriously. Instead of having to go around to every web page I want to check everyday (trust me, there are a bunch), I simply go to my feed reader and see all [...]
Frequent readers probably noticed that I recently switched themes. I was using Hemingway Ex, a theme I still love.
