My friend Jason refers to his own ‘random stuff’ posts (which I intend to mimic here) as RCIMT, or “Random Crap In My Tabs”. Most of what I intend to put into this post is from tabs currently open in one of my browsers. Some of those tabs have been open for weeks, waiting for …

Still Here
- By Dan Johnson in Unrelated
Yes, I’m still here. I haven’t been feeling well lately, which leaves me with little enthusiasm for making posts that scathingly blast one thing or another. Back to the doctor on April first, then maybe I can get back on the road to posting regularly. —Dan

The Bane That Is No More
- By Dan Johnson in Crackpottery, Religion, Unrelated

A Birthday Celebration for Mike!

I’d like to welcome some people to the real world, but they aren’t here yet.
