I figured I better post something up here, so people won’t think I’ve just shut down the blog. I haven’t. I’m still extremely discouraged by the fact that my log files showed an average of 250 visitors per day before I tried to move the blog to Aplus.Net hosting and now, after that fiasco which […]

I’m not feeling much up to writing right now. As anyone who read my previous post knows, my grandmother recently passed away. The funeral is Friday. Feeling a little morose, I’ve not done much more than work a little on fixing some parts of the website (including the links on my curriculum vitae page and […]

[T]ime is not like space. And when you put something down somewhere, like a protractor or a biscuit, you can have a map in your head to tell you where you have left it, but even if you don’t have a map it will still be there because a map is a representation of things […]

Apparently, I missed Haiku Monday. So I decided to make tonight “Haiku Wednesday Night.” As I pointed out over at Chepooka’s — still one of the best websites around — Haiku is normally comprised of 17 syllables in a 5-7-5 pattern. I actually enjoy Haiku. It’s quirky. Reminds me of Hector Hugh Munro — a.k.a. […]

The astute reader will have noticed that I haven’t blogged in several days now. Interestingly, I haven’t suffered much in the way of withdrawal. No doubt that’s because what’s been keeping me from my blog is finishing off a brief for a Hell’s Angels case I’ve been working. Arguments only in that brief consumed 151 […]

The theme over at Chepooka’s place this week seems to be “food.” Since there’s no time right now to do the work I normally do for my regular type of post, I thought I’d go ahead and post my own food entry. Actually, it’s more properly my wife’s food entry — except for the occasional […]

Ms. Claus was a hitat DAK’s Christmas Party! This morning, I’d like to wish all my readers who celebrate Christmas a Very Merry one! As you surely must know by now, I don’t personally celebrate Christmas, because I’m a Jew. But my wife and I use that as an opportunity to help our friends and […]
