The 4c Bloggers’ Club: Join Now!

My innocent post the other day about making 4c a week generated, if not a buzz, then a few hearty nods of agreement and slaps on the back. It seems there are a few bloggers out there like me who are not quite swimming in gold coins yet and are obsessively checking their stats waiting […]

Ricky Gervais: Not Priceless

Tonight I went to see Ricky Gervais live (not dead) at Madison Square. I was so excited. I’m a huge fan of the painfully funny Office, UK version, and Extras, and I’d seen excerpts of his stand-up shows on YouTube and they were brilliant.
Anyway, the show was due to start at 8pm, but at 8pm […]

He sounds extraordinary. I’m going […]

Guess the Paycheck and Win it

You may have noticed that I’m interested in these ‘review me for a link to my better-ranking site’ initiatives. I think they’re a very clever, mutually beneficial idea. I reviewed John Chow dot Com yesterday and I’ve reviewed Career Ramblings too. Career Ramblings linked to me promptly but John is a bit backlogged with all […]

Avoiding Unwanted Mergers

This morning I went out to get some milk. I live in New York, so this involved heading to the store, not milking cows.
