WTF – Password required to read SL Blog?!?!?!

Check out this dialog I was just presented with when I opened Firefox to read some of today’s blogosphere buzz : Okay…  "Apparently there’s a picture or something in that blog post that is hosted on JIRA, which is causing the browser to ask me for my password", I thought to myself, "I should go [...]

Happy Father’s Day to Me

It’s been a pretty darned good day so far.  I’ve been baking and cooking a lot with my daughter lately – she’s been showing more interest in cooking again – and last night (at 11:00PM, I have no idea why) we had decided to make an apple-cinnamon coffee cake (click the image at right for [...]

And yet, a conversation [...]

Albertsons.com – Took my money, ‘lost’ my order
