Sea Monkey Mania
It has come to my attention that there are those deprived individuals who
are unaware of the joys of raising sea monkeys. These are usually the
same deprived folks who didn't read enough comic books in childhood...or
adulthood, as the case may be. Get your sea monkey education/fix at

IBM = NAZI
Nothing changes...this allegedly vicious corporate money-grubber has a

of the moral or ethical implications....just my "freedom of
speech" opinion....which I might not have today if IBM had been an
effective service provider.

best deals on airfare and hotels through SideStep.

Butterball site...very cool around Thanksgiving
I found this one while researching a paper for a technical writing
class. (...was gathering the data to prove that not only was Song of
the South/Any of Harris's work NOT intentionally racial or politically
incorrect, but it was, in fact Harris's attempt to entertain and educate
on a dual level of mentality.) I know...not exactly technical
writing, but I've written enough software manuals, tech documents, and
memos....she said we could write about anything that interested us!
Wizard of Draws
Jeff Bucchino's awesome work.
