Haven’t written many words here lately. Let me explain the reasons, in ordered-list format:
Been doing a lot of personal-type writing on my twitter account. For the best of these tweets, check our free rooster, bumper cars, destructoblade-wheelchair, Revenge is sweet, and blood is salty.
Also, I had this whole “What can go wrong with (the back […]
Okay, so last year I made my mom a web site for Mother’s Day. It’s at www.happymothersdaydonna.com , and it’s nothing extraordinary. If you’re reading this after Mother’s Day 2008, you can see what I did in 2007 here.
***SPOILER ALERT: If you, my mom, Donna Murphy, are reading this, and it’s not yet Mother’s Day, […]

First, before we go all-tetris here: Tonight the Colorado Avalanche got swept, which marks the third pro sport team in Denver to exit with a sweep in a row (Rockies got swept out of the World Series in October, Nuggets swept in the first round of the playoffs this week, and Avs in the second […]
This a selection from the book Take My Advice: Letters to the Next Generation from People Who Know a Thing or Two — the book is a collection of articles, bits and pieces from a bunch of different people. Roger Scruton is one of them (this is Roger’s web site), and he wrote this. I […]
