You can even be a spotter for GasPriceWatch.com.

I can say I knew him when he was just a lowly photographer
I’ve had many a conversation with Seth Gitner, a colleague at our sister paper in Roanke, Va.
The guy’s gone big-time now, garnering accolades for his multimedia work, including a Digital Edge award in 2006 for The Crooked Road.
He’ll be speaking at a National Press Photographers Association Multimedia Summit in Portland, Ore, at the end of [...]

Greensboro bloggers outside of outside.in top 10
It appears Blogsboro is not in the outside.in top 10 for “bloggiest U.S. neighborhoods.”
What is outside.in? I dunno. Another aggregator aggregating content, mostly news-record.com and gotriad.com content.

“The Godfather” video game piqued my interest. Now, I’m on the hook and two of the three game console makers are reeling me in.
Behold “Star Trek: Legacy” for Xbox 360 and “Star Trek: Tactical Assault” for PSP (see CNet story here).

Or not.
Plop, plop. Fizz, fizz. Oh what a relief it is.
Susan said very loudly, “No!!!” when I wanted to implement a new Wordpress plugin.
I said … “Ok, honey,” just because I wanted some place to sleep tonight.
But what a concept! A plugin dubbed “Ploppy.” You can use the Bristol Stool Scale to blog the state of your bowel movements. The plugin even has icons!
Should I [...]
