Two Year Anniversary: What a strange trip it’s been


It’s official. Gangstas & Hugs is now two years old. Who would have thought it was possible? Thanks to this blog, I’ve been able to waste time and obsess over page views like it was going out of style. It’s been fun though. I never imagined it would last this [...]

I haven’t read Harry Potter, and I’m proud


I admitted in my post on pop culture that I’ve never read a single Harry Potter book. Never, nunca, nada. Little did I know I wasn’t the only person in the world who has never read a Harry Potter book.
Someone then suggested we start a club for people who have not read Harry [...]

Upgrade to Wordpress 2.2.1


I don’t write about behind the scenes blog stuff much anymore. But I got to thinking that maybe there are some geeks like me who actually like to hear about that kind of stuff.
I upgraded to Wordpress 2.2.1 this morning from 2.0.5. I didn’t run into any problems, and all the plugins seemed [...]

Where the hell have I been?


I keep checking back on the blog to see if I’ve made any new posts, and for some reason I’ve been remiss in my duties for weeks now. I’m not sure what posts I thought I might write while I wasn’t writing any, but it sure was disappointing to come back to old posts [...]

Anna Nicole is gone, but I’m back


It’s been quite a while since my last post. I’m not exactly proud of that, but a lot’s been going on in mojo’s neck of the woods recently that is both directly and indirectly responsible for my brief hiatus. Most recently, my beloved Kentucky Wildcats couldn’t buy a three-pointer in a near-upset of [...]

MySpace Gal Steals a Blog Post


I’m not usually one to make a fuss. OK, actually I am. And I couldn’t help myself when I came across this MySpace blog post. It’s a blatant cut-and-paste job of a brilliant write up on hangover cures I wrote exactly a year ago. As you can see from the screen [...]

BlogLaughs Reviews Gangstas & Hugs


The author of BlogLaughs asked me if it would be OK for his readers to review Gangstas & Hugs. I said yes. After all, how bad can it be, right? After such a scathing review by I Talk 2 Much, I think my skin has thickened up quite a bit. I’ll [...]

Diaper lovers agree: G&H Rocks!


I was doing my usual browsing of the feed stats over at Feedburner, and decided to see if anyone had signed up for the email version of the G&H feed (You can subscribe too!). To my surprise, there was a sole subscriber! I was ecstatic. I couldn’t control myself. Who could [...]

425 Feed Readers? Unpossible!


Yesterday was the highest traffic day at Gangstas & Hugs in recorded history. Not surprisingly, it was directed to a post of a video that I had nothing to do with creating. All I wanted to do was share the stupidity of a father who let his 14 year old behind the wheel of [...]

DNS Error


Imagine my surprise this morning when I loaded up Gangstas & Hugs and got one of those typical ‘parking pages‘ for domains that aren’t registered yet or have expired. I frantically start checking all of my account settings with my host provider, and sure enough, I had paid my domain renewal fee. I [...]
