We are ona brief summer hiatus lately. We should be starting back up Real Soon Now (tm). http://www.misterbixby.com/blog/2006/09/09/special-announcement-the-second/ Welcome to the Bears SuperFan Blog readers! This is a dead blog (mostly), but the archives are there for your enjoyment. I recommend the Friday Funnies category. The geeking out category isn't bad either and there is plenty of politics if you are so inclined. However, I may not be blogging here, ... http://www.misterbixby.com/blog/2006/09/07/special-announcement/ I have basically abandoned this blog, but that doesn't mean I want 200 notification emails a day and the comments section littered with trackback spam. I will update the comment blacklist, but I have disabled trackbacks henceforth. http://www.misterbixby.com/blog/2006/05/23/word-from-the-admin/ In my second consecutive non-Annelle-related post, I, again, wade into the political sphere. I received a phone call tonight from Illinois Senatorial District 33 candidate Jim Morici. Mr. Morici asked me for a public show of support after giving his basic introductory spiel wherein he mentioned that he is a ... http://www.misterbixby.com/blog/2006/01/26/interesting-phone-call/ Snow falls in Hawaii.

We'll start there. While thinking about this process this morning, I felt the need to create the character as female. I'll just list as many names as I can think of in ... http://www.misterbixby.com/blog/2006/01/22/character-a/ Kathy Salvi finally starting using her blog, with only ten weeks to go before the primary. There are three posts on there. I hope she and her contributors pick up the pace. Really encouraging though is that commenting is allowed (although it is moderated, understandably, of course). I hope some ... http://www.misterbixby.com/blog/2006/01/17/ok-one-more/ There's going to be some serious changes around here. I'll be getting a plan finalized this week, but this will no longer be a fantasy-football politics-oriented blog. I've done that for more than a year now, and I have come to realize that without the horse-race atmosphere of a presidential ... http://www.misterbixby.com/blog/2006/01/16/ch-ch-ch-changes/ Jeff Dircksen over at Government Bytes blogs about the impending Nanny State starting with the anti-smoking laws I posted about here, only he did it better and much more concisely than I did. Also, less ranty. Go read that post, then check out his whole site. I hope my government-issued Nanny ... http://www.misterbixby.com/blog/2005/12/22/why-i-shouldnt-blog/ Check out the new Google Ads running on my site (what a waste of time that has been): Wonderful. If anyone clicks through (why start now?), let me know how that all works out for you. I'm sure it could have helped that guy at Caterpillar. Ah well, too little, too ... http://www.misterbixby.com/blog/2005/12/16/thats-just-great/
