I’m fasting this week, not food or TV or beer or even the computer. I’m abstaining from work on one of my websites. I’ve got a site that most of you reading this already know about, PolFeeds. It syndicates news from Congress, the President, and the Presidential Campaigns, and with the election [...]

Moments ago Hillary Clinton, while announcing the votes of the New York delegation, moved to suspend the rules of the Democratic National Convention and declare Barack Obama the Democratic Presidential nominee by acclamation, thus suspending the roll call vote.

[Update] The official announcement is here: http://polfeeds.com/item/Message-from-Barack-The-Next-Vice-President

I’m a huge fan (of Good Stuff, not Top Chef), and I started a blog dedicated to reviewing their amazing burgers. My goal is to review [...]

Last night we had a bachelor party for my friend Devin. Devin has always been one for goofy fun, so we kicked off the evening by going out to a field and playing a game of whiffleball (complete with ghost runners), but instead of a whiffleball and bat, we had a Louisville slugger and a [...]

One of my goals for the next year is to start blogging more. I’ve decided that one of my life goals is to write a book, and if I’m going to do that, I need to practice writing. Lots of things come to me that I want to write about, but usually I either forget [...]
