Back On the Air

By jelewis8 ⋅ January 17, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Fringe is back on the air after being spammed out of service. Given that spammers target older comments by a ratio of 8 to 1, the consequence is that I am now in the process of retiring all comments older than 30 days. I’d like to keep those threads open, but I’d rather have my [...]

Back From The Bay

I just returned from a trip to the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, where some friends have a cabana up above the beach area. I’ll have pictures up on my photoblog later, as well as an account of my visit. Suffice it to say it was relaxing and low-key–a welcome change for a weekend. I only [...]

I nearly soiled my shorts when the next best thing, Fringe, decided not to work, but then I realized it was just my network connection. Reset, [...]

Piper’s got some words for comedians who have been complaining that New York clubs have been raking in all their cash. I happen to know a stand-up artist here in Blacksburg, though I’ve never been to one of his shows). From what I understand, he’d be doing a lot better with the cut if he [...]
