The Monday Meme: Political Privacy
Monday, January 7th, 2008I am a firm believer in voting. I wasn’t always. I used to believe that my vote didn’t count for much and I might as well focus on where I could do some good–with the people and communities directly around me. But I’ve realized the error of my ways, changed my tune and become a [...]

Monday Meme: What A Card!
Monday, September 24th, 2007You are The Magician
Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.
Eloquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing, you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.
The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting [...]
Monday Meme: Books from the Heart
Monday, July 9th, 2007I was going to do a more simple book meme, but this one which washed up on Byzantium Shores caught my fancy instead (link).
Recommend 3 books you believe everyone needs to read and say why people should read them.
The Bible: At least, make a good run at it. After all, it informs the religious beliefs [...]
Monday Meme: Goose Oil Rub
Monday, July 2nd, 2007I had intended to invite myself to a book meme today, but I’ve been called out for cooperation with another great pyramid scheme… all natural products at low, low prices per case!
Here are the rules: Eight random facts or interesting lies about yourself. Send me the link to your post when you’re done. Tag 8 [...]
Monday Meme: Take to the Streets!
Monday, May 14th, 2007If you’re reading this, it’s because the blog apocalypse has occurred. The light have been turned out. The party is over. The internet has kicked the bucket.
I’m not sure why it happened. It could be that the costs associated with maintaining web servers has become cost prohibitive. Perhaps there’s been a terrible war in that [...]
Monday Meme: Things That Make You Go, “Hm.”
Monday, May 7th, 2007 You may have seen the Thinking Blogger Award meme making the rounds recently (its source lies here: link). Well, Christy Dena of Cross Media Entertainment (link) has included me in her list of blogs that make her think.
So, now it’s my turn and I wrestled with this all weekend. I’d like to include everyone [...]
Monday Meme: Soundtrackin’
Monday, December 11th, 2006This mildly game-like meme caught my eye (caught my ear?) the other day. You fire up your MP3 mix and drop the songs, in order, into the slots provided on a “Soundtrack of Your Life” list. The result are typically pretty amusing and often times synchronous. Of course, the synchronicity in my list stems from [...]
Monday Meme: My Voice
Monday, November 13th, 2006Over the past year or so you’ve probably gotten to know my writing voice pretty well. But what about my speaking voice? Well, according to this test, I’m accent-less.
What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland
“You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You [...]
