Our American Cousins

Posted on March 2, 2003 by Solonor

Poor Eve didn’t find a place to put her most excellent comments about her home – Washington, D.C. in the What’s Not to Like? blog. (Did you know they have their own flag?)

So, I added posts for D.C. and for those remnants of colonial times: American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

I’m all about international peace and harmony, too. If anyone wants to start up a “What’s Not to Like About Canada, Eh?” blog, I’ll be glad to help!

Happy Blogiversary To Moi

Posted on March 1, 2003 by Solonor

March 1, 2002, 10:59 PM.

I stumbled into the blogiverse by accident. I finally got around to putting up a web site after years of whining about it, because I finally had broadband access and a smidge of free storage that came with it (and because I was about to turn 40 and thought I’d better the hell do it already).

Can’t Touch This

Posted on February 28, 2003 by Solonor

In a never-ending quest to come up with new and creative ways to make you afraid to get out of bed, the Justice Department is now confiscating ‘illegal’ domain names to use as Venus fly traps. I must admit, it’s a darling little plan.

TroopTrax

Posted on February 27, 2003 by Solonor

OK, this is my weekly “look what a good idea Michele had” post. Only this time I didn’t get a chance to help, because a bazillion others jumped in to make TROOPtrax a reality.

TROOPtrax proposes to send bucket loads of music CD’s to soldiers serving overseas. Whether you agree with them being there or not, there they are. So, I think it is a neat idea to send them some tunes. You can help by donating cash at the site.

The Cableman Diaries

Posted on February 27, 2003 by Solonor

One of my best friends down here in Florida is referred to on this blog as “Cableman.” Now, like every nickname, there’s a story behind that… not one that anyone who wasn’t there will understand, but hey it’s his birthday!

When Cableman first joined our company, he was just plain old Barclay. One of Barclay’s first assignments was to go to one of our customers in North Carolina and set up their cash registers to electronically transmit sales data to a PC at each of their 60 stores.

Sure, it sounds easy…

Show me the rest…
