I added a plug-in to my blog software which finally allows me to blog from my cell phone. We’ll see how this goes.

Blazers: Did I mention I picked up a ticket package a few weeks back? I gave a few of the seats away for Christmas and will no doubt be giving a few more out as things come up down the line. 20 games for $100 is a helluva deal. Yesterday’s game [...]

When Urban Meets Rural
December 29th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · My American Life, The Couv

Jack Bog has been all over this issue surrounding Turbo Tax mistakenly donating kicker checks to the state education fund. As he continued to dig yesterday, he brought up a fascinating observation.
