Blog Traffic Exchanges


Found a review of most of the blog traffic exchanges over at Happy Sam. I think I agree with his assessment of the top few traffic exchanges he has on his list, and now I’m going to have to check out the others I’m not currently using. Here’s his top 12 list with caveats:
“…heres how [...]

Update - Photo Gallery


Just an update that the photo gallery is now online for Gangstas & Hugs. The link is in the top menu bar under “Photo Gallery”. You can view and browse photos that were attached to previous blog posts, along with pictures that were never put up on the blog. You can leave comments and even [...]

Color Change…


I know, I know… but I swear this should be near the end of the changes to the template. I’m tired of coming back and having it look different every time I’m here too. I was just studying some other color schemes and noticed that all the gray in my blog might have [...]

Video - Harlan McCraney


I know this is an old video by internet standards. But I just saw it again, and laughed my ass off. Thank god for comedians that can poke fun at all the shit that makes us angry. I don’t know if I could stay sane without this type of stuff, and of course, The Daily [...]

Addiction, not early as sexy as it sounds…


I seem to have a semi-addictive personality. And it’s not the kind you think of. I’ve never really been caught up in drugs, and even drinking I don’t go that overboard with. OK, maybe I go overboard a little when I drink, but it was a lot worse when I was in college. I’m referring [...]

Intelligent Design and Idiots


It’s a sad time we live in when our education system starts taking such drastic steps backward. The New York Times reports that the Kansas Board of Education voted 6 to 4 on Wednesday to encompass Intelligent Design as hard science in biology classrooms. The only bright spot I can see out of this [...]

Picture - Swim with the fishes…


Well, winter is coming to my neck of the woods, so I have to get my koi ready. Specifically I have to make sure the pond’s ready for falling leaves and freezing temperatures. I spent this whole weekend fixing leaks, cleaning filters, and getting in 50 degree water. All for some fish that eat everything [...]

Karaoke Gone Wrong


Ladies, ladies, ladies… have I got a treat for you. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to experience a Karaoke session devoted to you, and only you? Well, please click on the picture of Fred Marshall here and have a look-see. I’m not sure if you could find a better example of [...]

Plug-A-Friend - The Churning


I know I said I’d stick to ’smaller-type’ blogs for these posts, but I have to give some love to JJ and the gang over at The Churning. He’s a cool cat that responds whenever you email, and even sent me some stickers when I requested them. Pretty cool ones too.
I know there are a [...]

Lowest Common Denominator Syndrome


Well, I lost at Battle of the Blogs… again. I’m not surprised though. I’ve come up with a pretty plausible theory why I appear to suck so badly. It has to do with LCDS, or ‘Lowest Common Denominator Syndrome’.
You see, blogging might have started as another form of nerd outlet a few years ago. And [...]
