Last night Jen and I watched the HBO special Live from Baghdad, which is the story behind the story of the Gulf War — the last time a Bush was running the country and the last time we were targetting Saddam for his oil. It follows a CNN crew, led by characters played by Michael […]

Over the weekend while at Viansa, Ben busted out his and Jess’ awesome new Canon G3 for a handful of photos. Among them is a funny one of Jen and me with the Viansa boar, which happens to be a replica of the boar in Florence whose nose you’re supposed to rub if you want […]

I’ve been working on some cool feature enhancements to my blog the last couple days. Yesterday I finally assigned all my old posts to a category (and created the new television category), and I added the view archives by category listing on the home page (that includes the total number of posts associated with that […]
