I have nothing to add to this

I <3 doggies

I’d like to con­grat­u­late Naomi and Mark on their new arrival.

Easter weekend hiking at Beaver Lake, Baldwinsville, NY

It was that, or give the Web cam away

I put my ham­ster Web cam, fea­tur­ing Dream­si­cle, back up. Because it’s 1997.

Virtual clips

I finally have a decently-formatted vir­tual clips page online. I’m link­ing to my author pages at the var­i­ous sites I write (or used to write) for, and direct links to some of my favorite work. For Con­sumerist and AOA, I list every­thing, since I don’t have enough pieces for either to bother pick­ing out favorites.

This com­ing week is National Vol­un­teer Week. Haven’t heard of it? Nei­ther had I, until just now, but I like the idea.

…I do sort of like

Bad pizza, free publicity; free pizza, bad publicity

On Tues­day, I made my first Con­sumerist post, which is some­how now push­ing 300,000 pageviews.
Today, I made my sec­ond All Over Albany post, which doesn’t have quite as much traf­fic, but my pho­tos were still met with con­tro­versy.
