Packing Up the Boxes Again
I remember sitting in my college dorm room, circa 2005 trying to figure out Xanga. Xanga! That’s when I first started blogging. I didn’t stay at Xanga long. It was like a drafty apartment.

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed Review
Last night I saw Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, a documentary starring Ben Stein as narrator and interviewer.
