Boing Boing: Google launches Picasa 2 I’ve used Picasa/Hello, but stopped using it a while back because it wouldn’t go through the work firewall. Not that I did anything like that at work, mind you. This seems to be the full-on Picasa for free, where before it was just the Hello piece. But just the other night I was in a panic trying to find images on one of my many harddrives. So, we’ll see. I liked using it for my Razzberry Vinaigrette blog.

Episcopal leaders: We’re sorry gay bishop caused tension The American Episcopal House of Bishops met in Salt Lake to come up with this message for the rest of the Anglican Communion regarding gay clergy, bishops, marriage, and things gay in general: ”We as the House of Bishops express our sincere regret for the pain, the hurt and the damage caused to our Anglican bonds of affection by certain actions of our church,” the bishops said. ”We express this regret as a sign of our deep desire for and commitment to continuation of our partnership in the Anglican Communion.” I’m an…

George Clooney helped plan and recruit celebrities (aka “slebs”) for disaster relief again, this time for tsunami relief. The telethon aired Saturday. Clooney also put together and recruited for a 9/11 sleb telethon. He’s a standup guy. I always thought he was mystery sleb bloggist “Rance.” Not so sure now. The very funny lady who has taken over the old Rance digs as a favor is keeping the lights on with some good stuff and the old crowd still gathers, but we all still wish the real Rance would please stand up again.

Hey, remember me? I used to blog here, back when I a) wasn’t spending vast amounts of time at work and b) wasn’t obsessed with getting the Holy Moly website / blog ready for primetime. Yeah, between work and blog, a lot of VERY late nights this past week, and not sleeping well besides. I haven’t quite pulled an all-nighter, but there was one night when I was up tinkering under the hood until 4am. Well, that’s gotta stop. At work yesterday I joked that I was accepting offerings of drugs, liquor, and chocolate and threatening to go to the…

I grabbed a handful of this on my way out the door tonight – some hotel dropped off goodies. I can’t believe an office full of women wandered off and left it all, frankly.

I’m trying to figure out a way to get Full-screen calendars in Movable Type [dive into mark] to maybe work as an ongoing events calendar for the Holy Moly blog/website (which is otherwise coming along). I hit a point where I really needed an events calendar that can be updated by anyone with a sign-in, or at least easily updated via email to yours truly. David implemented one that I currently have linked off the new and the old site, but it’s FROM HELL to update. And I’d like the ability to make a blog entry for an upcoming event…

Another recap-let saved for posterity: Another unlovely leg unfolds as a rush through a gate leads to a couple of bumped heads and an explosion of temper from Freddy that has not been hinted at until now. You know it’s getting bad when Jonathan is telling you to calm down. It turns out that water polo isn’t very hard, but spicy soup is extraordinarily difficult, and may just wind up in a puddle under your chair if you’re not careful. But seriously — don’t puke it back into the bowl, because that is really disgusting. Jonathan does some more out-of-control…

At the next challenge, the McLeods were the only team to choose paddling a boat on the Danube River instead of scoring a goal against a Hungarian water polo player. “We had no idea that the national team was so terrible,” said Hera. “They didn’t block one shot. If I would have known that, I would’ve said, `Dad, put a Speedo on. We’re playing water polo.'” Gus called the decision not to don skimpy swim gear “one of the best things not to happen on national television.” Dear Gus, I love you. Enjoy that next beer. Dear Hera, you are…
