At some point, I'll figure out the javascript to change the bright red "Upcoming Show" post heading to a duller colored "Past Show" once the date of the show...

I was a genius. I had carefully crafted some code to work around the limited length of the Blogger Pro title field, which was routinely getting filled with the...
Uh oh! Jeff has figured me out: However, I have a feeling that "Who likes Kites?" is going to make a major move soon... it appears that Erik is brewing up some...

Why do people insist on going through revolving doors two at a time? Just now, on my way in, a lady decided to cram into the opposite chamber with her friend,...
