In fact I tried contacting […]

Who’s Aisha? This is Aisha.   She’s on the cover of this week’s Time. And it’s part of a story on what women have to go through as the Taliban continues to have influence in Afghanistan. Read it and if you ever had doubts about the Taliban, you won’t anymore. Aisha had her nose and […]

I’m taking the train to Baltimore from Rhode Island to meet with some Red Sox fans to see tonight’s game against the Orioles. While this train has a few amenities like a snack car and electrical outlets so I can charge my phone, it does not have Wi-fi so links will have to wait until […]

I hope to do some linkage in Ithaca at a Starbucks, provided I can find one and since I’ll be on the campus of Cornell University, I […]

As I’m dealing with a flood in Rhode Island and while my native North Kingstown got hit with the most rain in the State, it’s not as bad as you can see in the picture below: That’s in Warwick near the Pawtuxet River and it comes courtesy of the Fox Providence site. Luckily, my town […]

I’m using the BlogPress iPhone app to see if I can use it to add posts instead of e-mailing them to Blogger. This will help especially if I’m on the road and can’t use my computer. I hope it works. – Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone UPDATE, 12:53 a.m.: It does work! Ok, this […]

For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been dealing with Internet issues at my office. Wireless or direct connections aren’t working so as I’m dealing with that, just know that when I get back on, you’ll get the links and Viewing Picks you have come to expect. Later today, you’ll get a link to a […]

All my plans for blogging and work have been shot to hell as my day was planned for me. I hope to be able to be back here blogging on Sunday. My apologies. No posts for Saturday. FML.

On Friday, all of my well-laid plans to have the Friday megalinks up by now were dashed when I was stuck editing a press release for over an hour today. I had a nice post of leftover Thursday press releases published when I noticed the layout was messed up. Then when I tried to correct […]
