In lieu of a post about the Braves’ relievers (I’ll do that next week), I’ll mention a few other goings-on. VBS – June 11-13 If you live in the Chattanooga area and need something for your kids to do next week (or, more aptly, need something better for them to do), I suggest Vacation Bible […]

WordPress Security Issues This morning during my daily tech blog reading, I read a headline that 49 out of 50 WordPress blogs are vulnerable! What a way to grab readers! This blog is powered by WordPress, and while I’ve had my issues, I wouldn’t trade the functionality for anything. I can do pretty much anything […]
Apparently I'm not alone
I noticed this morning for the second time that the layout on this blog had been changed against my will. It’s not a WordPress issue, it’s just someone doing a great job hacking my site.

My own Wikiality
Recently, I’ve been a little more active with Wikipedia, which if you’re not aware, is one of the internet’s best resources. A lot of academics like to make themselves feel better by scoffing at the encyclopedia that anyone can edit, but Wikipedia works remarkably well for what it is, and its use is continually on […]
A good old-fashioned link dump
I read a lot of blogs, mainly in the realms of general news headlines, technology, politics, sports, and comedy, along with the blogs of several of my friends and acquaintances. As the number of blogs I read increased, I found the need to save time by using an RSS reader to aggregate everything into one nice, neat […]
