There are real people with actual livelihoods at stake here. Stop playing childish games and just approve the budget so you can back to bickering about truly pointless things and being generally irrelevant and overpaid. This isn’t funny. Sincerely, A Concerned Consituent
Obsessively over-analyzing the word “grey” (or “gray”)
Someone on Twitter that I follow mentioned the allegedly “British” spelling of the word “grey”.

Upon reading this, it is your formal duty to bust anybody who violates this rule in FF threads. It’s not Legos, it’s LEGO. […]

Not only that, but we’re bringing our oldest son along so he can witness history in the making. If this stories are to be believed, tonight’s rally […]
Rearrangementations
It was spring cleaning today on the Nerdflood blog. I moved a lot of stuff around on the sidebars because I wasn’t liking the arrangement. There was more stuff I wanted to add, and things that needed removing. I cleaned up my “Find Me Online” list to only show places where I actually currently tend […]
I know, I changed the banner YET AGAIN
The wife didn’t like the font of the new banner, so I made yet another alteration. I’m very happy with this one and can guarantee that it will remain on the site for at least another day. Beyond that point, no promises.
