Reviving the Dead | Part III
There was a delay in getting part III of this mind numbing series out due to certain unforeseen circumstances which I’m not going to tell you about. Some things just shouldn’t be mentioned online.
Sounds good doesn’t it?

Reviving the Dead | Part II

Attack of the low blood sugar
As most of my regular readers already know (all 3 or 4 of them), I’m not exactly what you might call a big guy. I’m more like that guy that has to run around in the shower to get wet. I’m actually more like the guy who has to run around outside in the sun [...]
The day the Social stood still
I’m not going to say that this day will ever live in infamy (it won’t) but much to the social set’s dismay, all of Twitter and rather large parts of Facebook went down this morning reportedly from DoS attacks. Now I have a Facebook account that I dabble in just about everyday for [...]
