Hate Rock, Racism and Heavy Metal

So, I first posted this article here, and linked to it from my writing blog. But then I changed my mind. So head over and read it there.

Pizza Politics

Finally, someone with the guts to say what we’ve all been thinking. If only our political commentators were as insightful as those who write on pizza…

This info has been out there since late last month, but it’s yet another reason why Mitt Romney may not have carried Iowa in the Republican caucus last night. The man must have alienated the pizza partisans in the Hawkeye State:

And from the original article linked to from the above blog post:

I just can’t imagine the American people electing as president someone who does that to pizza. I’m not saying a president has to have a special knack for eating pizza - what you call “pizza talent” - but he or she has to respect the pizza, and look comfortable with it.

And of course I find this 2 hours after dropping $15 for a PictureSync license :-\

Update: Well, after only giving it about 2 seconds worth of effort, the flickr plugin didn’t seem to show up where I expect it to (export menu, etc…) so I’ll just use picturesync for now. And it uploads to both flickr and facebook simultaneously… :-)

Blog Post Category/Tag Trauma: Deal With Useless Categories

This is exactly what I’ve been worrying about for ages! I tend to wayy overcategorize (i have like 80 categories); and the difference between tags and categories was totally lost on me. Lorelle does a great job dissecting and differentiating between the two, and addresses some problems that go along with each system.
