Month: April 2005

Ernie the Attorney is now blogging at Tech FengShui, a blog that focuses on making technology simple and useful. This is supposed to be simple? I missed that memo.

Over at BenedictXVI.com, Rogers has a couple requests in exchange for transferring ownership of ‘benedictxvi.com’ to the Vatican. My favorite, number 3: “Complete absolution, no questions asked, for the third week of March 1987.”

I wrote earlier this week about our week in Florida, and alluded to my laptop woes. Here’s the rest of the story: we flew to Orlando on Saturday morning. On Sunday, after a busy morning, we got the kids back to the room for a nap, and I fired up the laptop to catch up…

Chris Casey recounts a sad day in Congressional history. I remember this when it happened — I was in law school, and had to repeatedly assure classmates (and one incensed professor) that it couldn’t possibly be true.

EchoDitto weighs in on 2008.

Definitely my vote for best April Fool’s, BoringBoring, a parody of BoingBoing. A few months ago, Erik had a great idea to do a parody of Boing Boing, which we thought we’d call “BoingBoingBoingBoing” (slogan: twice the boing!), but neither of us had the time to do it right.
