GOAT! Food! Goat food!
Click To Play
I’ve seen this new snack food in the convenience store on campus that’s got a very eye-catching display and fancy package, but it also lacks a visible price tag and touts premium features like, you know, vitamins and protein and energy and health, or some approximation thereof, so I’ve avoided it in favor […]

Newt’s Magical Goose
Newt Gingrich posted a silly challenge on YouTube the other day. He wants people to submit 2 minute videos that “a sixth grader, or a member of Congress” can understand, explaining how any tax increase would threaten to kill the Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs, i.e., the American economy.
Obviously, this ignores […]

Them internets don’t always work right
TGI-the-F-F, as they say, as I wrap up this week by staring at a notch waiting to see some crack and writing yet another geeky post in what is by far the geekiest week this blog has ever seen.
Poli-geek analysts from PrezVid to TechPresident are rehashing all the armchair quarterbacking going on about the […]

Site Meter pushing too many buttons
Starting with mine.
You other bloggers out there might want to check the performance of your sites if you’re using Site Meter.

UnCon-vinced? Keep watching
So I’ve got my second unconference under my belt, and I still have to pause for a few moments before I answer the question I get from friends, “So how was it?”
First things first, let me say that the organizers, particularly Amber Rhea, Rusty Tanton, and Penny Haynes pulled off an excellent event for the […]

Uncontastic
At another “unconference” today — a word I still don’t like but am willing to give the benefit of the doubt. This week: PodCamp Atlanta, new media geekery to the max. I’ll be heading up a session on Podcasting and Politics, and the fact that this is an UNconference makes me feel a […]

Much a-twitter about nothing?
Updated update: Welcome blog carnivalers: look for me and other local nerds in a story about Twitter in the AJC Living section early in the week of April 1.
So the first thing at the top of my Google Reader list over coffee this morning was a post by a self-titled Web Strategist that sings the […]
