Freegeek is pretty straightforward: if you’ve got computer skillz and you’d like to put them towards something concrete, what better concrete thing than a computer? FreeGeek works this way: Whether you want to volunteer here to learn new skills, perform community service, get credit for school, or just support the cause(s), we have room for […]

commenter’s remorse

September 5, 2007

4

Most people’s first introduction to writing for blogs is commenting on other people’s blogs; it’s a gateway drug for sure! Some, in fact, develop more of a reputation as commenters than they do as bloggers, and if your wit and wisdom is expressed best in two-to-three sentence bursts, that’s probably right and good.

August 27, 2007

I like this series of videos; alas, their blog seems not to be updating much lately, in addition to being in a template too narrow to display YouTubes properly. As usual, I’ve put the video over the jump so it doesn’t slow the blog down for people on dialup. This is a good basic meditation, […]

To murderer Geraldine Beasley of 2500 block of Victory Parkway, even the phantom of an imaginary quarter she might give away was worth more to her than the life of 44 year old Donald Francis. He asked her for a quarter. She shot him dead. Donald Francis, who police believe was homeless, stood outside a […]
