I’m always the last to know these things, but Bear has a weblog as well. Nifty stuff, heya dude. I have to admit that seeing yet another weblog with a look that isn’t using the default movabletype styles makes me want to do some cleaning up like foz has done. Found this out from this

I’m not sure what it is about karma coming back to bite or kiss you in the posterior area, but it seems to be flooding back my way nicely. Not only do I have 3 days a week work, plus two other projects on the side, but today I got a call from one of
