Specifically, I created a composite feed that takes the last three entries from any of the content that I create anywhere on the web, and outputs an integrated feed. This is a very important thing, and, for some reason, is not as simple as you would think. ...

There are words and phrases that particular individuals use over, and over, and over. This is even more true of politicians on the campaign trial ... Mon, 11 Oct 2004 18:54:37 -0500 1097538877 http://www.growlers.org/log/12/ Sometimes when I am playing the guitar, I accidently play something wrong, and it is totally right. Then I want to tell someone else what I've discovered, but I don't know its name. I could call it the Bizarro Lobster Claw chord, or the Angry Weasel Paw chord, but (1) that's a lot to say when you're yelling chords across a room, and (2) that's a...

I mean, what if you could make your very own warning sign that, instead of the always witty "STOP", or the hilarious "SPEED LIMIT 25", said ...

Given my internal state at the time (hungry) I wondered how fireflies might go about eating, and upon what they might dine. The answer is not particularly satisfying. The...

I happened to mention the little known fact that the Axis of Evil, of which North Korea is an inaugral member, lies along a single straight line on a Mercator projection map. ... Tue, 17 Dec 2002 15:35:03 -0500 1040157303 http://www.growlers.org/log/4/ While watching the Lions morph into a football team last season, RJ noticed an advertisement for the Jeep Wrangler that made the claim that "Jeep Wrangler owners speak a language of their own." In the commercial, an attractive capitalist girl makes eye contact with a rugged capitalist boy in a picturesque capitalist eating establishment, writes som...
