Well, we all know that my site, which you are currently reading, is now known as “Big Pink Cookie”. Tonight, thanks to the Mirror Project, I came across cheesedip.com. Then in the comments on Ernie’s blog, I found turkeydinner.net. This made me start to wonder – what other blogs are out there with food names, that aren’t food related blogs at all? Know of any? Anyone?
A big, huge Happy Anniversary to Kristine & Eric! The two of you seem to be a match made in Heaven and I wish you nothing but a life full of love & happiness in the lifetime ahead!
While surfing a few blogs lately I’ve noticed a trend, and it’s driving me crazy. The whole “see more” CSS thing is going from being handy to being overly abused. Seriously folks, you don’t need to set up *every* entry that way. I have come to your blog to read. I want to read without having to click “read more” on every single entry. Please? I don’t want to touch the mouse. I just want to read. If you are posting it, doesn’t it stand to reason that it’s worth saying? Then why hide it? Why do I have to hit the “read more” just to read a basic post? Do you do it because you think it makes your site look less cluttered? But … isn’t clutter what a blog is all about?
Don’t get me wrong. I think there is a time and a place for an extended entry. You have a particularly long post that you just want to offer a teaser too – great. Or you have a picture that you want to hide so that if someone is browsing at work your “rack photo” doesn’t pop up on their monitor, that’s wonderful. But do you have to do it for every single post? Am I the only person that this is bothering? I mean, you know …

Glory, glory hallelujah! Antiterror TIPSter plan to be overhauled! “A Bush administration proposal for a network of antiterrorism tipsters is being overhauled, thanks to harsh criticism that it would encourage Americans to spy on one another.” Someone finally woke up and realized where this was going! “The program came under heavy assault from civil libertarians and many in Congress, and the House passed a bill last month introduced by House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas, that would prohibit it.” PROHIBIT it. And if that wasn’t enough, “the Postal Service balked at its inclusion and other industries also expressed reservations, saying they didn’t want their workers looked at by customers as potential spies.” [via kuro5hin]
Thank you for proving to me, for a change, that there are still a few sane people in our government. I guess it is noteworthy that Duhbya is down here in Texas right now. I wonder if he’s communing with his cows again?
I’m off to celebrate. Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves how wonderful this moment is. Share your comments, I’m quite curious what you think.
