I feel better. Thanks to the CVS-brand version of Zyrtec, I can breathe, sleep and surf the Web for the usual graphic goodies. With all the money I’m saving on tissues, I might even buy a new laptop. Kungfugrippe has a hilarious take on SnowLeopard and the cult of Mac. Speaking of SnowLeopard, wikidot has [...]

And we’re back. Sometime Monday the domain mapping that transforms mild-mannered “pubtech.wordpress.com” to it’s super hero identity “publicious.net” expired. Silly me, forgot to pay the bill.
