What I'm Reading:: Check out the Book Club group for an exhaustive list.

What I'm Listening To:: Weirdly, lots of Robbie Williams. Or really, just three of his songs, over and over. And other things.

All that old crap + muckraker's guide

At some point, somebody asked me where all my old posts went. They can be accessed here: My Duke City Fix Morgue

Enjoy that. You'll need to scroll down a bit. Okay, a lot.

Also, I'm a big fan of the SF Reporter's Muckraker's Guide (thanks to Dave Maass for some great research).

Here's Cody Martin, at "the office". Vote for Cody on A Dog's Life (if you can find him).

This is my sister, the talented one in the family:
