Blog Carnivals: Why Do Them?

If you are a regular blog reader, you take for granted the phrases "link roundup" and "blog carnival". I assume everyone knows what I mean when actually, why would you unless you were blogging yourself? Since I explained these to Sean, I thought it wouldn't hurt to...

Link Roundups: Why Do Them?

If you are a regular blog reader, you take for granted the phrases "link roundup" and "blog carnival". I assume everyone knows what I mean when actually, why would you unless you were blogging yourself? Since I explained these to Sean last night, I thought it wouldn't...

Shameless Promotion: The Sex And The City Edition

Monday night I finally got to see the Sex and The City movie. Amazing. You should have felt the collective excitement that raced through the theater as the familiar theme music began to play. Goosebumps. Ok, it also helped that I was watching it in one of those...
