Raise Your Own Chickens
I love this. K5 has a tutorial on raising your own chickens for eggs and meat. Chickens are a very enjoyable animal to have around. The gentle clucking is very comforting to listen to and their antics are enjoyable to watch.

Outage
Power outage on the north side. I think my stereo blew out. Or just the fuse. The thing’s old anyway – I mostly use it as an amp for the computer – the 3-CD player doesn’t work and I don’t play MiniDiscs with it anymore and the radio antennae doesn’t get reception since I’m halfway […]

Back to Thebes
My adaptation of Antigone is going to be produced in Ohio this coming fall! This was my thesis and project – sort of what would happen if Oliver Stone and Stanley Kubrick did a Greek tragedy. I read it now and see a lot of me intuiting things that I sensed were happening in the […]

Bush Cleans Glasses on Woman's Sweater
Hardly to be entered into the political discourse but a welcome example of his arrogance. During a commercial break on the David Letterman show, producer Maria Pope was on stage and discussing something with Letterman, and while she was standing there in front of Bush, George leaned forward, grabbed the back of her sweater and […]

Sex Offenders in Your Area
My sister sent me this link to Public Data’s sex offender database. Wow. I got a ton of them living all around me. Criminal Check

Bushworld
You may have read Maureen Dowd’s rip on Bush – if not it’s worth a reading: In Bushworld, our troops go to war and get killed, but you never see the bodies coming home. In Bushworld, the C.I.A. says it can’t find out whether there are W.M.D. in Iraq unless we invade on the grounds […]

Running PHP Through Crontab
A tidbit I learned from my webhost’s help pages was that you can use the lynx command to run a PHP script. Often webhosts don’t allow PHP to be run easily through crontab because of some kind of permissions stuff that I can’t really get quite clear on. Anyway – here’s the gist: It is […]
