Jason Calacanis was detailing his new regimine for weight loss and mentioned Chana Dal. He linked to Bob’s Red Mill (which makes the best Wheat Bran) where you can order this stuff. Anyone ever had this? I’ll probably try this anyway, but I’m curious since I’m guessing Kroger or Meijer’s doesn’t carry this particular Bob’s […]
Because this country can’t be distracted enough, the Terri Schiavo autopsy is big news today. Apparently, baffling dozens of experts and hundreds of pundits, Shiavo’s brain was found to be half the size as normal for a woman her age. She was also blind.

My primary camera for the past 4.5 years has been an HP C618 digital, which has since been eclipsed by digital […]
So, over on the right side of this site (for those of you not using Bloglines) is a link to a Auchtoon, my friend John Auchter’s website. John’s a cartoonist (and a damn good one, too) who has a regular gig doing Op/Ed panels for the Grand Rapids Business Journal. His latest is related to […]
I couldn’t care less if chips for Apple computers were made by Peruvian children in a dark cave, but the zealots in the Apple camp are sure coming out with some interesting arguments about what could happen with the impending “switch to Intel”. One of favorite quotes is from Jason Kottke: but when you look […]
Go watch this before these guys get a C&D from Lucass (yes, I know it’s spelled wrong) or Steve “iSue” Jobs. Flash, but funny. Link
