The Reviews: BostonHerald.com – the Edge: Time trials: CBS’ legal drama ‘Century City’ avoids future shlock Welcome to Dullsville, er, Century City So the reviews are mixed, but David and I enjoyed it. It gets the geek crowd and the Law & Order crowd on one sofa… And hey! In the “geriatric boy band” subplot, they killed Martouf again, those bastards! At least he got to play a hot looking 72-year-old. But on the other hand, they got freakin’ Anthony Zerbe to bust a few moves at Martouf’s funeral. Now that was funny. He looked like he was having a…

Okay, why do I as a non-technogeek (I am merely the moll or sheila to a technogeek) think this is way damn cool: Testing Begins & More Info about 3.0 03.16.2004 We’re taking our first steps towards the release of Movable Type 3.0. The pre-beta version has just finished its initial two rounds of alpha testing and we’re now opening the testing to a larger audience (we’ve picked 300 random addresses from those who applied and will be adding more as time progresses). The testing that we’re conducting will not only help ensure a stable final release but will also…

Okay, so Accordion Guy made me do it. BlogPolling Voting System seems simple enough, but for a doofus like me? Actually, I’ve been asking David to set up polls for me, but it was pretty far down on the list of to-dos around here recently. So this may be the way for me to go, since I got good results from using both Blogrolling and Bloglines. Yep – that’s the Amerkin way – outsource it! Let’s give it a shot… Well, I’ve got the right style elements working, but the radio buttons don’t show up once they’ve been clicked. Hmm.…

From Yahoo News: W.House Calls on Kerry to Reveal Names of Leaders I have to admit (gah!) that they have a point. It does sound a little too much like “the lurkers support me in email.”

A resort for “Family Friendly America” Casino- and vice-free resort fun for Mom, Dad, and all the kids (other kinds of families need not apply) Orrin Hatch’s American Dream.

Obesity too widespread to go without attention Probably a good thing that there’s no accompanying picture. If there had been, this might have ended up on Leno.

There are pockets of insane sanity in Utah – some of them are served by KRCL. I ran across the station one sleepless night on a trip “home” to Utah, at a pre-David time of my life when I’d end up sleeping in my old room at Mom’s house. There was usually a moment (usually late at night) when I’d start scanning for a radio station that sounded like it wasn’t based in Utah (translation: liberal politics, flexible musical format). And so I found KRCL, which intrigued me. It’s typical for a small :NPR station in the mountain states –…

Yesterday was from hell, but in a good cause, and a great party. My mother-in-law talked us into hosting a “surprise” birthday party for my father-in-law and 50 of his closest friends and relations. Here at the house. I didn’t blog anything about it for lo, these several months because there was a chance that he’d hear about this website from another family member. Now the story can be told of events leading up to Our Living Nightmare. A good time was had by all, apparently, except us.
