Recently, as he was going through some old magazines from the 1930's, he ran across an article in Homes and Gardens about Hitler and what a ... http://www.bloggerblog.com/2006/12/23/hitler-and-copyright/ Most blogs that I see are not remotely spider friendly. By that I mean the search engine spiders have to wade through a good bit of html only to find there isn't much there but the posts. Each and every blogger has to view their blog the way the spiders ... http://www.bloggerblog.com/2006/12/26/spider-friendly-navigation/ Cesar Millan was not a name I was familiar with, although I had heard people talk about The Dog Whisperer.  This TV show is a take off on the “Horse Whisperer,”  a movie about a guy who could work with troubled horses by simply getting intimate with them.  The Dog ... http://www.bloggerblog.com/2007/07/22/pssssst-there-is-no-past-or-future/ I'm going to tell you a story so scary you will never be able to look at a lift (or elevator for you Americans) in the same way again.

I hated the DVD/Divx war, and I’m hating the HD-DVD/Blu Ray war even more. I want to upgrade to High Def disks for my DVD collection, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to choose one of these formats.  Drew posted earlier today about Microsoft announcing ... http://www.bloggerblog.com/2007/07/27/target-goes-blu-ray-exclusive-in-store/ Don’t take life too seriously. Don’t take life for granted. Anything or anyone for granted. Use your time wisely. Listen to those older than you - they have wisdom. Being defiant gets you no where. I am not weak for leaning on Everlasting Arms. (Whoever told you in the first place you should be guilty?) Love God. ... http://www.bloggerblog.com/2007/07/29/things-ive-learned/ I read a quote by Drew Barrymore in my local newspaper recently that made me nod my head in agreement. She was talking about dating when she said this, but I think it applies to other relationships as well: "The only fundamental rule for me is to just be yourself. ... http://www.bloggerblog.com/2007/07/30/freak-flag/ Well, it’s been a long time coming, and for football to be the impetus is just fine by me. Finally Iraqis have something to celebrate, and in this case it’s something that has united them more than any other occurrence in recent history - the Iraqi national side has just ... http://www.bloggerblog.com/2007/08/01/thousands-fill-the-streets-of-baghdad/
