I’ve been seeing lots of referrer hits from MySpace on my site lately, so I thought it was apropos to point to this article on Kuro5hin: MySpace: A Place for Dolts. It’s just too funny not to, and it’s full of great soundbites. You see, when you sign up for MySpace, you instantly have your… Continue reading MySpace rant

Poker (or Wil Wheaton) doesn’t make it right…
I don’t care if it’s poker terminology or not, the expression “bluffing into the nuts” is just so, so wrong. It’s simply the gayest phrase ever.
Bend bloggers galore
Yep, a new Bend blogger: Rhysently. First saw this today show up linking to me in Technorati, and ORblogs has it listed as a new addition tonight. Only two entries so far, but I found them quotable: Anybody who doesn’t live in Central Oregon is a sucker. This is the most amazing, beautiful place on… Continue reading Bend bloggers galore
Portland for the weekend
Yep, we’re heading up to Portland tomorrow, for the weekend. We’ve got a bunch of clothes shopping to do. And appointments to keep. And friends to see, if there’s time. With all the running around, I wonder when (if) we’ll find time to relax… Taking the laptop, though, so I’ll still be checking in.

Bend SummerFest

The weather was decent while we were there, except for… Continue reading Bend SummerFest
Another Bend blogger
I’ll post about the Bend SummerFest tomorrow I think, but I just wanted to get something out there tonight, and I note that ORblogs is reporting another Bend weblog: under the ponderosas. Right on.
Did Barcelona close down?
In this case, “Barcelona” refers to the restaurant in Downtown Bend, in the St. Clair building. The reason I’m wondering if they’re closed is because they have a banner reading “Restaurant fire sale Monday” and the interior looks, well, disassembled. Anyone know what the scoop is?
Lurker Day
Shannon did a lurker day on her blog a couple of weeks ago and said I should do one, too. Okay! Since it’s nearly midnight, let’s call Friday “Lurker Day” on chuggnutt.com! If you lurk on my site, make a comment! I’d love to hear from you. Even if you’ve made comments before :). And,… Continue reading Lurker Day
