I see that the service I use for my blogroll has been aquired by the Canadian company Tucows.
Tucows was one of the first sites I visited when I was new to my computer.
Blogrolling.com has been an excellent tool.
It’s really easy to use, which is always my favorite thing about anything technical.
Tucows is also going to [...]

Back at the hotel, we heard the chimères had been ordered by the president, desperate to hold on to power, to target journalists as a way of forcing the international community to send in troops.
As Jean-Claude drove the vehicle up the steep incline to the hotel, he crossed himself and said another prayer. I called [...]

I’ve never heard Howard Stern and [...]

People die in movie theatres with a relative degree of regularity.
So, why does this heart attack death rate a mention?
That isn’t a rhetorical question.
Cre8d got tickets and went to see Gibson’s movie. Rachel keeps things in context.
I suspect it’s going to be a continuing subject on blogs for awhile as the marketing machine kicks into [...]

I’ve seen extreme tracker go down from time to time.
It’s the blue globe on the sidebar you can click on to see site traffic.
It hasn’t been working properly for quite some time.
But I’ve never seen a Forbidden 403 error.
