No commentsDearest Readers,
I want to vamp up two sections of this website. The first is ‘favorite posts.’ If you look at the bar on the left and scroll down you’ll come to a list of favorite posts. Do any of you have any favorite posts that you think I should include in the list?
The second section is the About me page. Right now it’s passable, but not awesome. It definitely needs new photos. Any other suggestions?
Rock,
Mike D.

You’ll notice there’s no flashy logo next to my website name, instead there’s just a mini “page” icon. Now, if you go to any other site you’ll notice that there are typically fun little logos there.
Perhaps I’ll have an MSPaint contest to fill that gap.
Authored by: mike d.I attended kung fu last night and was heartily beaten by my peers.
It was a sparring night and there were 16 of us in attendance. A normal class might have 10-12 people, so the extra people made for wild sparring (8 matches going at once). The space was tight and, for whatever reason, my kung fu was not in its groove. I received a wealth of blows to the head and chest. Despite the pain, I think it was probably a good session. I’m beginning to learn of some serious flaws in my sparring style. Hopefully I’ll be able to patch those up and do better next time.
Yesterday I posted a Quickthought asking about what people were passionate. I think I am most passionate about exercise.

There are more bills too. But don’t feel bad if you don’t get these… they are ridiculous.
500 dollar bill: McKinley
1000 dollar bill: Cleveland

Bonus points to anyone who actually knows the history of the person on the 10,000 dollar bill.
