I’ve been meaning to do this for about a year and I finally made time for it. But first, here’s a yawning possum: My blog post categories were in great need of reorganizing. What are “categories,” you ask? They’re those links that following the words “Posted in:” underneath the title of each article I put… Continue reading A little blog housekeeping…

Unintended Consequences: The Exciting Sequel
A parody logo I made up is getting more attention than the real thing, and the logo owners are not amused.

I’m pretty sure David Bowie wasn’t thinking about someone in our situation when he recorded that song in 1972, and it’s a stretch beyond my capabilities to make the lyrics apply completely. Nevertheless, changes are coming to Casa Fire Ant. MLB and I are retiring…sort of. 2015 was the fortieth year of our professional careers. *sigh*… Continue reading Ch-ch-ch-changes
Miss-App
Final Update (2022): I’m leaving this post up purely as a quirky episode in the life of this blog. The app in question no longer exists, nor does the company that created it, having discovered that there’s no business reason to continue to make a product that no one wants. Good thing I don’t operate… Continue reading Miss-App

One of these things is not like the other, but I forget which
Oh, hello. I didn’t notice you standing there, in the shadows. You’re quite patient, considering how long it’s been since I’ve come around. Perhaps you should take up a hobby. Anyway, as long as you’re here, please allow me to share a cautionary tale. It’s a simple story about what happens when you reach a… Continue reading One of these things is not like the other, but I forget which
Take your best shot, 2014
I don’t make New Year’s resolutions, mainly because I have a bad memory and no self-discipline. But, if I did make resolutions, one would be to blog more regularly in 2014. And I’m talking about serious, introspective and/or inspirationally creative posts. That’s right…no more throwaway posts that are nothing more than placeholders and quota-satisfiers. Like,… Continue reading Take your best shot, 2014
Ten Years of Fire Ant
Today’s a semi-momentous occasion for the Gazette, as it marks the ten year anniversary of this blog-like thing. Due to a few other more important things going on – which I may elaborate later – I’m not going to do much more than note the event, but I figured it warranted at least a mention.… Continue reading Ten Years of Fire Ant
You Ninja, Yu
Scott Chaffin is one of my blogger heroes; The Fat Guy would be on my list of Blogs I’d Pick If Stranded On A Farm-to-Market Road Between Quitaque and Turkey (that’s in Texas, ya’ll). He writes with a deceptive country-boy self-deprecation that completely fails to obscure a wicked wit, sharp intellect, and laser-focused insight. He… Continue reading You Ninja, Yu
Move along…nothing to see here…
I had every intention of posting something – anything – tonight. Oh, well.
