Ohio…

I saw on the news where they think the big blackout started somewhere near Cleveland. Now, as any good Ohio resident can tell you, Cleveland fully deserved it’s nickname (the mistake on the lake) long before this event occurred, but it somehow does seem fitting, doesn’t it?

BTW, some of the reasons Cleveland is known as the mistake on the lake? Well there was the time the river caught fire, not to mention the fact that the city was, supposedly, named after someone named Cleaveland, so it’s even spelled incorrectly! We won’t even get into the rich, mistake prone, sports history of the town either…. 😉

Now that I am one of those folks, I’d just like to say, I’m sorry. I take it…

  • Good morning

    Day 2 of Gnomedex today. Watched Chris get all jazzed about RSS. That was sort of cool. Skipped the Zone Labs session on security because I needed to plug in the laptop. It seems to have some difficulty with being run on battery power. Hope it’s not a sign of more hardware problems! Met JR…

    This morning the site is still unreachable but I thought I’d go ahead and post the latest news items, so you all have something to read when it does come back. (And yes, a move that requires going on 30 hours now is totally unacceptable, not a good start for this new company!) New Version…
