Friday LinkFrogging – 1/28/11

If you build it, they will come. It worked out just fine in 'Field of Dreams' and it seems to be going well as a potential philosophy around here. I only say potential because so far we haven't spent much time philosophizing about what the hell we're up to here at GG HQ. But that's …

Friday LinkFrogging – 8/27/10

    Sometimes things are so obvious you just can't see them.  I mean I do this week in and week out and I try to be topical and/or timely with my selections, but somehow, and believe me, I don't know how, I've overlooked Charlize Theron.  The obvious time to use Ms. Theron was during the …

Return to the Land Before Blogs

I've been pondering this post for a while and given this week's preponderence of music related posts, this seemed like a good time. So, jump in the GonzoGeek Wayback Machine and journey back with me to 1985 won't you?   1985 - New Coke, Reagan, Live Aid, NES, Calvin & Hobbes, Windows 1.0, Back to …
