Random Tuesday Stuff
This came through a LinkedIn connection. Four out of five Internet users participate in some kind of group in the “real” world, compared with just 56 percent of those who don’t use the Internet regularly, according to a new study from the Pew Research Center’s Internet and American Life Project. Those figures rise to 82 […]

Golden Globes
Chris Colfer won for Best Supporting Actor in a TV or whatever the category is. He also denounced bullying in his speech. During his tender acceptance speech, Colfer gave thanks to 'the kids that our show celebrates that are constantly told no by bullies in their school and they can't be who they are…Well, screw that, […]

My blog and “Free Wi-Fi”
It was brought to my attention that Panera Bread allegedly blocks my blog because it falls into the category of pornography and nudity. I say allegedly because I haven't tried for myself, not because I doubt the veracity of the report. I appreciate the feedback and will be investigating. So I'm going to try hitting […]
County Chief Executive Possibilities
Michael Lamb Rich Fitzgerald Mark Flaherty I’m not sure we can go too wrong with any of these candidates for Allegheny County Chief Executive.
