Addicted to Starbucks

Add comment October 29th, 2005

Uhh… Hi, my name is… uh… Alan Howard. And ummm… I'm addicted to Starbucks.

I blame my friend Garry, who started me on this path some years ago, when we first started getting together and discussing my Star Trek: Rebellion game. We'd get together a couple of times a week, and he'd be my sounding board as I came up with ideas for developing and maintaing the story and the website.

Ever since then it's just been getting worse. Now I come here by myself, not needing the presence of any friends to join me or provide an excuse. I sit here alone, drinking that insidious chai latte, watching the asian babes - ahem, the people - walking past and writing for my blog/s.

Iran and Israel at each other’s throats

2 comments October 28th, 2005

From the ABC News:

Israel's vice prime minister said Iran should be expelled from the United Nations after its new president said Israel should be "wiped off the map," and Britain summoned an Iranian diplomat Thursday to protest the remarks.

From What Really Happened:

Okay, let's just step back here for a little bit of context.

AIPAC is pushing for the USA to attack Iran for Israel

AIPAC spurring Congress to pass sanctions bill against Iran

Israel says Iran close to having a nuclear bomb

Israel warns on Iranian "nightmare"

Iran the next nuclear threat

"I am shit in his life"

I feel sorry for the person whose search for the following statement brought them to my site:

"doesn't matter I know I am shit in his life"

They didn't stay, however, so I guess they didn't find what they were looking for. The world is full of sad people, with sad stories and sad experiences. I wish I could be of help to some of them.

New website changes

Add comment October 27th, 2005

What do you think of the new look? I've got boxes around the posts to highlight them a bit more, in order to enhance the headings and make them stand out a bit, and moved some of the sidebar content around. Does it look and feel better to you?

Oh, and thanks to Not PC, I've updated the Recent Comments to be JUST how I wanted them! Yay!

Hat tip to Not PC for a link to some tips on Better Browsing (and Blogging). It involves using Firefox, which is something I've been using for the past 6+ months, and have already found a lot of great extensions. Go read, you might find something you like.

Blog Review: Bark / Bite

Title: Bark / Bite

Description: “Are you gonna bark all day, little doggie? Or are you gonna bite?”

What I like about this blog is that it bites! The author doesn’t hold back on the language, especially when he’s disgusted about something. And he sure does find something to be disgusted at on a relatively regular basis!

It’s a blog that’s mostly about US politics, and the author’s view of it. I’m suspecting that if he carries on having the fits of pure anger that I see every now and again, he’ll end up having a heart attack!
