I haven’t posted here in quite a while, so I’m late to publicly wish my brother and new sister-in-law congratulations on their recent marriage. We all had a lot of fun, I was honored to be part of it, and the kids even took part (hey Jeremy, where’s the box with the rings you’re supposed …
A little Star Wars nerdery via I Love Charts: an assortment of underachieving AT-ATs. (Love the Subaru BRAT-AT.) Update: these (and other cartoons) were actually done by Lunchbreath.
I just felt the need to give some positive feedback to Raynham Hardware. Our basement, like many people here in our area, took in water. In the past we’ve never even had so much as a puddle, so we didn’t own a water pump to take care of it, and everyone we knew who had …

Dick Maul’s Bike Shop held a contest at Skater’s Edge in Taunton, MA today. It was great seeing some old friends and a lot of fun shooting BMX again (it’s been a long time). Here are some shots from the contest:
‘Freedom’ and Faux Populism [W]hen freedom is invoked by the GOP it means liberty for corporations. It’s big government getting out of the way so big business can step up. The GOP wants Chevron, Haliburton and United Health Care to have more independence – not the Joe Everyman, Six-Pack or Plumber they try to appeal …
