It seems as though the consolidation is finished. All the relevant information from the Joomla mess has been added. Surprisingly, it isn’t much. Period. I think the Joomla system is useful if you are a large group that needs to allow multiple people to post pages. However, for a single person I think something like […]
New(ish)
I’m redesigning the site. I am using a template that I am customizing to my needs, and I plan on integrating this into my personal site so that they are one. That way they will always look the same and I can just update one thing to update everything. That photo in the center was […]
Sharing Spin
I have a friend who sent me a link the other day to a video on the Internet. She and I are probably on opposite ends of the political spectrum. This video (http://www.eyeblast.tv/Public/Video.aspx?rsrcID=2036) is extremely critical of the candidate I support. While I value her friendship and the fact that we can share things like […]
Juno – Irreverent but irresponsible
I had high expectations for Juno because of the wonderful things I have heard about it from everyone. I saw it with my sister after she got it on DVD. The fact that Diablo Cody, the woman behind Pussy Ranch (which was first at www.pussyranch.net, then moved to http://blogs.citypages.com/dcody/, http://diablocody.blogspot.com/, and now blogs at MySpace: […]
Huge Chunk Of Antarctic Ice Collapses
It’s a couple of weeks old, but I don’t think it has gotten the attention it deserves. We really should be paying more attention to events like this. Please take a look.

World Swim Against Malaria
I will be swimming April 5th to help fight malaria! Please donate here: http://www.worldswimagainstmalaria.com/jen52. Every $5 donation buys a mosquito net to help fight malaria – a very preventable, treatable disease that kills far too many people every year.
Panic at the Disco – Pretty. Odd.
I bought the CD yesterday, based on the radio play of the track “Nine in the Afternoon”. I like the CD a lot. It’s reminiscent of the Beatles, Billy Joel, Elton John, and classic rock in general. The vocal harmonies are wonderful ear candy and the orchestration is fantastic. The problem is that PATD really […]
Gram’s Catholic-ness
I’ve been spending far too much time with my grandmother lately. Here’s the situation: Grandpa can’t drive because he’s in too much pain to walk most of the time from his Rheumatoid Arthritis and other ailments. Grandma can’t drive because her eyesight blows. I’m glad neither of them are driving – and you should be, […]
Hillary’s Best Argument
It seems that Hillary Clinton’s best current argument for why voters should vote in favor of her is that she can win in the “big” states. Frankly, this is (at best) just plain silly. Right now, the voters are voting for the Democratic presidential nominee. Her only *real* opponent is Barack Obama. If we are […]
Questions, Answers, and Relief
Questions: Why do people insist on driving their vehicles into ours? Why can’t my car door stay closed when I close it so the dome light doesn’t drain the battery? Answers: (to questions that may differ from those listed above) PCOS – at least it’s an answer and now we have a plan IE sucks. […]
