Did I just bump into Til Schweiger?

Saturday, February 26th, 2005

Til Schweiger
I spent a couple hours bumming around Zeil today and ran into someone who looked VERY familiar… I couldn’t place where I knew him from, and by the time I realized where it was he had disappeared.
If it wasn’t Til Schweiger it was someone who looked JUST like him. So, Til if that […]

Embrash - Kottke.org == Kottke.com?
Quitting your day job to blog is silly. Quitting your day job to persue your journalistic talent is another thing.
Most of the blogs I read, I read for the links and BRIEF commentary, when people start to put too much time into blogging then your blog turns into an average […]

Death by Scrabble

Thursday, February 24th, 2005

So I was totally slaughtered last night! I thought that Stella was lucky with the two 7 letter words last time… but I was the one who was lucky in that I came that close.

Scrabble Babble

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2005

Stella and I pulled out our old scrabble board and played the first game in years. It was quite a good game except for the fact that half of the good words which I had were strangely “unacceptable”. I mean who invented these rules anyway? Since when were vax, exim, lmao, ada, gui, vrml […]

That was from the Excersizes […]

What’s the Story? By Aaron Wormus
So I’ve upgraded to WP 1.5 — not too shabby. Changed the theme too. Will be working on this over the weekend. Get my annoying ads back up to keep that revenue stream flowing (yeh, right!).
Anyway, I’m getting hammered by people coming in from google looking for nekked pictures of […]

ABC News: AP: Iraqi Died While Hung From Wrists
Very disturbing story of how one of the “ghost” detainees died during an CIA session which used “enhanced interrogation techniques”.
Read the story and then tell me how our secret interrogations and killings are any better than Saddam’s.
