Comment spam is getting out of hand, so implementing some changes. Sorry for any inconvenience.

My monitor died yesterday, so no posts until I get that replaced…

Sorry for missing the post on Monday, my grandmother passed away Monday morning. We’ll return to our previously scheduled frivolity next week.

I was checking out StumbleUpon when I came across an idea put forward by DayJobNuker called “IReply“, which was expanded upon by BloggerBingo as “Be a Community Builder“. I really like this idea and think it could be a great way for C/D-list bloggers like myself to get some exposure, and to help out others of our ilk. It basically boils down to this – if you leave a comment on my blog, I will:

• visit your site (if you link it in your name).
• visit several pages, not just one.
• leave a comment on a post, provided I have something to say about it.
• Digg you, submit you to StumbleUpon or Reddit, or another social site – provided I like the content
• click on an ad, as long as I don’t violate any terms of service by doing so.

What I won’t do:

• accept spam comments. If your comment doesn’t apply to the post, I’ll mark it as spam and delete it.
• accept adult content. I try to run a PG-13 theme here.
• click through to adult content. Employers don’t like that kind of thing. Neither do wives (at least not mine).
• subscribe to your RSS feed. I’ve got too many as it is (unless I really, really, really like your site).

I’ve got a backlog of comments that I haven’t taken the time to visit, so I think I’ll go do that now.

Mark your blog with one of these icons (courtesy of DayJobNuker and BloggerBingo).

We’re heading back to the “trabin” this week. I’ll be back in time to post something on Friday.

Ah, it’s vacation time again. I’ll be at the “trabin” (that’s what we call the trailer house in the woods – it not a cabin, it’s a trabin) in New Mexico – near Angel Fire for the week. No updates until July 30th.

Happy birthday to my wife, who turns 29, yet again…

My mother-in-law gave me a great t-shirt a couple years ago. It says, “I never knew what true happiness was until I got married… and by then it was too late!”

Happy 15th anniversary to my wife!

As you read this, I am currently suffering through another family camping trip in the Pecos Wilderness (northern New Mexico) with my family and 2 of my bro-in-laws. If all goes well, I will be back sometime late Monday, dreaming of a shower and my bed. See ya’ll next week!

Well, the update worked…

I changed themes as well, gotta finish customizing this one. Not sure if I like it or not. Leave a comment and tell me what you think.
