Killing me softly…

I am officially putting a bullet in this blog. It just makes me feel like a nagging homework assignment that I keep missing. Also, the amount of spam I get on this thing is out of control, even with the help of Akismet (which manages to kill a TON of it) Instead, [...]

Wow! Google wi-fi…where are you???

Jesse is staying at the lovely Portola Plaza Hotel and asked if he could put off his code check-ins for a day or so.  Why?  Look at the rates they are charging for wi-fi?!?!?  This is insane.  Remind me to never stay there.  File under “screwing over guests who have no other options”.  BTW, for [...]
