In the two or three column version of K2 and Wordpress 2.3.1, IE6 hangs and won’t let go until you kill it with Ctrl-Alt-Del End Process in Task manager.
Someone using IE6, which I no longer run at home, pointed this out to me. I know it’s K2 also because choosing another theme removes the [...]
Recently someone told me he was in a roomful of “do-gooders.” From the way he pronounced the word it was clear he found these folks infected with a strain of naivete that was outside the “real” world.

I can tell you that I wasn't surprised by who this quiz said I most agreed with, but that I'll most likely be voting for the candidate who showed up 5th on my list. Why? Electability. The candidate with whom I'm most in sync I doubt could get elected.
How about you? Do your results match your actual voting intentions?

I won’t go into much detail here, but thought that some might like to see the materials that we submit every year (it is generally a public record, so anyone has access to them).

In the past couple of days, I received several e-mails that go something like this:

Now playing: Jerry Douglas - A Remark You Made
Back before there was Jay the fat preacher (the force behind the empire that is Only Wonder Understands) and even before there was Jay the Methodist technogeek of General Conference fame, there was Jay the fat geeky sound guy. That goes a long way back . . [...]
