I’m very proud to announce DuPage for Dean, a new website for the Dean community in DuPage County, Illinois. This is a Deanspace site, which is a customized version of Drupal tweaked by dozens of Dean volunteers around the country specifically for Dean volunteer communities at the local, state and national levels. After just a…

… Well, not exactly anyway. But according to this article, I have all the makings of a cool guy: I get my music on my iPod, I drive a Volkswagen, and I own a Dyson. Who knew? Don’t know what a Dyson is? Then you just aren’t cool enough. (Oh, OK: just go visit their…

Yesterday’s announcement of Saddam Hussein’s capture was indeed a spectacular accomplishment for our military. It’s clear that consistent effort in intelligence-gathering, coupled with discipline and a few lucky breaks led to the capture of the most wanted man in Iraq.

What I’ve done is pretty straightforward: to visitors, nothing has changed. But for me, whenver I visit my weblog, I see an “edit” link next to every…

From my three year-old came these two gems while shopping for a Christmas tree… After spotting a nice 6’ tall tree for the house, I showed it to Ricky and asked what he thought. He took a few seconds, looked it over, then said, “No, I think we should get one with lights.” After that,…

And one prediction I made was that Iowa wouldn’t…

He signed more people up for DeanLink than anyone else in the country (469 at last count). He’s compiled a master list of every Yahoo group focused…

And no, it’s not a good thing. Thanks to an incompetent orthodontist who took my braces off too early as a kid, I’m now the proud owner of a mouth full of metal again. Technically speaking the braces aren’t metal but ceramic. That doesn’t change the fact that I feel like I swallowed a a…
