My friend Andrea has released a collection of short stories for the Kindle (and lending library!) for a scant $3. I promise they are worth the money. So much so I’ll write my guarantee: If you don’t think they’re worth $3, tell me and I’ll refund your cash.

I’m fairly sure that even if this happened as described by the headline, he’d still be the most popular figure in DC sports. Even though he’s yet to suit up.

DC Folks, this needs a signal boost. Trusty’s is one of the places on a very short list to hold the event for the fall tweet up in DC. Make it happen.
Victory, and Vindication
Tonight, we watched as our friend Kenyan was elected to the DC City Council. We hosted events for Kenyan, built websites and email campaigns for Kenyan, built a phone system and a network for Kenyan. We walked blocks, made calls, sent email, asked for money, all of that.

So it’s the “thinking” man’s equivalent of “Hey! Watch This!”
Can someone explain...
This “Yolo” meme to me?

Biking in London
kymethra replied to your photo: So! This happened! I’ve got another 50+ to go, so…
Well done! I’m thinking about getting myself a bike as I need to do more exercise but don’t want to be tied into a gym contract. Am rather daunted by the thought of having to cycle in London!

Eff yeah, sharks.
