I’m going to cheat. I didn’t write this. I don’t know who did. Mary Skrenes forwarded it to me as an email some months ago. It may or may not be true, but I have no trouble believing it. Does the statement, “We’ve always done it that way” ring any bells? The US standard railroad […]

Okay, I think this is very cool: Do a Yahoo seach for “stevegerblog” and then, when the search results come up, click on the “Add to My Yahoo” link next to the entry for this site. Yahoo picks up the RSS feed from this site, and the headlines of new posts appear in a separate […]

According to feedvalidator.org, RSS from this site is now working. (Thanks to Coldforged, macmanx, and gisli on the WordPress Support Forum.)

There’s a problem with the RSS feeds from this site. If you’ve experienced it, please add a comment to this post and let me know exactly what happened.(If possible, include the text of any error message you get.) For the next day or two I’ll still be submerged finishing up the *Hard Time* script, but […]

I’m still a few pages from finishing the script, but it couldn’t wait any longer. I sent out the stuff I had done to the editor and artist. I hate doing that. Mary hates it even more than I do. Sending out an incomplete script, even if it’s just a few pages short, is like […]

Yet another reason to despair for America’s future — brought to you by *PC Magazine*, no less. Cracked a major problem with the script last night. Will tell you more about it, and *Hard Time: Season 2* in general, as soon as possible.

I’m going into cocoon mode to finish a script that an editor and an artist are waiting impatiently (and justifiably so) to receive. That may mean no new posts here for the next couple of days — but not necessarily. Ideally, I’d like to finish enough work, early enough, each day to be able to […]

Guess I’m not going gently into that sweet cocoon. I ran across this quote in a book review today: “The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but someday the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that […]

From Steven Grant’s column this week: Just in case you were expecting the screwing of average Americans to stop now [after the bankruptcy bill], here’s another call to action on an issue that will affect absolutely every American and rip more money from your pocket while giving “relief” to corporations. Of course, only radical leftists […]
