No, not here. Old friend and sometimes contributor Anthony Cartouche is filling in for Roger Ailes (no, not that one) while he’s off on vacation. Here’s hoping A.C. gets another fifteen minutes of fame to match the quarter-hour he got last year when both Huffington Post and Atrios linked to one of his posts. This year, shoot for the moon — a recommendation on Kos!
Tags being The Big Thing, I’ve been diligently going through all my old posts and tagging them. I’ve got it so that there are only three remaining ones without any tags at all. The way I see it, there are two possible approaches. One is to be deadly serious and …
I decided to go ahead with the new theme, based on one of my “Great Swamp” photos. I’m still debugging it in some of the more obscure browsers (I’m looking at you, IE6), so let me know if you see anything especially wrong. Some of the new features are the …
As of 1Q 2008, IE still dominates the browser market with something like 79% of the market. But as they say, your mileage may vary. Here’s a small samplling of how it varies by content type. Working off of stats from a few sites I manage or have access to …
I don’t have many sunrise shots — because I don’t want to get up that early! The sun itself isn’t something you take a picture of. But I’ve got some sunset shots. What do you make of these? That, by the way, is the way the cloud really looked — …
This site’s design is a little over two years old, and it’s time for a change. I’m working on something that looks roughly like this, though with the spacing and font colors adjusted so it’s legible:

Now I apologize in advance if you got one of those messages from “Pulse” signed by me. Here I thought this was a legitimate social networking site. Not that I need another social networking site in addition to FaceBook (which I barely need anyway) and LinkedIn, but I got an invite from someone I know, so I accepted.
I envisioned headlines like, “Lifelong Indians Fan Found In Pool Of Blood.” But Anthony Cartouche is back blogging, with a top-10 list of reasons why he hasn’t been posting — and grist for this blog so I don’t have to come up with reasons of my own anymore. Welcome back, …
I finally got around to upgrading the blog software. There’s a generation of plugins coming on line that weren’t compatible with the version I’d been using. One of the toys I wanted to work in is a poll. Click through and try it out!
Huh? You ask? Old friend Anthony Cartouche, formerly of Waffleass (now defunct due to staff issues) has launched his new effort, Yazoo Street Scandal. The blog is only two posts old, but give him a visit and show your support of his fine work.
We’ve been online here at tom-mcgee.com for a year now. Thanks to all (six) of you for your support! Later on I’ll try and put together a statistical rundown of what’s been hot and what’s been not. In brief, though, the biggest seller has been a piece I wrote last …
Our ten-thousandth spam comment rolled in today, “buy bontril.” Jonathan over at snook.ca writes recently about “the death of comments.” The discussions that make blogging compelling are getting routinely trashed, and more and more sites are cutting off comments altogether, making it a one-way dialog — at best. Commercial automated …
Spam spam spam spam Spam spam spam spam You know the song. As this site approaches its first anniversary, we’re also approaching another milestone: 10,000 pieces of blog spam. Mercifully, the spam filter has caught all but a few, otherwise I’d be spending the entire ten minutes of free time …
