Cohen, the caped crusader
Check out this video of Cohen with his cape on, riding his scooter down the hill a little ways. I love the leg action in particular.
I detest marketers [Updated]
[I actually wrote this post earlier today and published it. Then I thought better of my initial impulse and unpublished it. Inquiries about the "missing post" prompted me to publish it again but this time I've anonymized it a bit.]
Today I experienced yet another example of Web -2.0 in action. I heard via [...]
Six years of blogging
Just a quick note to acknowledge an important milestone for FML: today marks the sixth year that this blog has been in existence. To be fair, it really wasn’t a blog at first in the sense we now take for granted. There weren’t many readily available blogging platforms that I knew about [...]
A sad day for one cougar
In late February I mentioned the fact that an honest-to-goodness mountain lion (a.k.a. cougar) was spotted not far from where we live. In the past few weeks there have been more sightings in the surrounding area. I’m not positive they involve the same animal but it seems quite likely to me.

Hillsong
Tonight when looking at YouTube videos I was startled to come across a video of one of this week’s American Idol episodes featuring the eight remaining contestants singing “Shout to the Lord”. This is surely one of the greatest praise and worship songs ever written. It was written and first performed at a [...]
Top ten posts of the past week
I’m going to try something new, and highlight popular content judged by number of views, in a summary post each weekend. If this isn’t useful, let me know by commenting. I’m using the WordPress.com stats plugin to determine what is popular. I really like it so far mainly because I think it [...]
My Grandma’s scrapbook
I have many memories of our family living in Detroit, MI with my maternal grandparents in their basement at first, and then living in our own house down the street later on. This was from 1970-71, a relatively short period of time but one filled with a lot of experiences. I was about [...]
