Not X?

This blog is rated… PG? That doesn’t quite explain why I’m blocked by major filters. The rating changes depending on what is on the main page. I have a feeling that if it slurped up my archives, it would get a different rating, but even my cyberporn category only gets us down to an R. [...]

Sicko: Moore with less Moore

Went to see Michael Moore’s most recent documentary, Sicko, today. I enjoyed the film very much and strongly encourage folks to go out and see it.

1 and 1 Hosting Sucks

I’ve already complained about this once (1 & 1 equals 0), but it’s my blog so I get to again. If 1and1sucks.com wasn’t being squatted, I’d set up a site just so everyone would have a central location to complain about this company. I just got a letter in the mail from a collections agency, [...]
