The Mook cell phones are disconnected until Friday or Monday, so we’ll be even harder than usual to reach. You can try the house phone (which is a fax line) or just drive on out.

A surprizing bennie of being a PPC skinner: I got a piece of free software sent to me today! Free, I tell you! Spb is looking for people to compete in their skinning contest, so apparently they spammed a few skinners from Wincustomize and gave us free copies of their software so we could make […]

Yesterday, I took my husband to see the midwife. No – he’s not pregnant! But he did have a big cyst behind his ear, and she removed it for him. She’s so cool! If he’d gone to a ‘real’ doctor, it would have cost ~$300, wasted a lot of time, and the removal procedure itself […]

I really want to redesign this site, but I haven’t got the time! Argh!

I think the whole problem with this era is the people in it. Seriously. No discipline, no restraint, no one knows how to listen or be compassionate.
