The variety is amazing: here’s a list of various agents, spiders and bots that I’ve culled from my chuggnutt.com logfiles over the last 30 days that have to do with RSS and/or blogs (specifically blogs, not just general purpose spiders like Google’s). These are only the ones I know for sure are blog or RSS… Continue reading Blog bot roundup

Cascade Lakes Brewing’s Lodge rocks
It was (another) small get-together tonight, with only myself, Simone and Dane. Lot of fun, though. And the Cascade Lakes Brewing Company‘s westside lodge just rocks! Upstairs is the game room, with a couple of pool tables, real dartboards, and… Donkey Kong. Oh yeah, you know we were playin’ that.
0 = -1
Back when I was a freshman in high school, and had an inadequate grasp of higher mathematics, I came up with an algebraic “proof” that I thought violated, well, something in math. I had “proved” that 0 = -1 using infinity. It was pretty basic. I don’t know why I remembered this today, but I… Continue reading 0 = -1
Bend Bloggers Meetup: September 8
Notice for the next Bend blogging get-together: Wednesday, September 8th starting at six o’clock at the Cascade Lakes Brewing Company in Bend. That’s on the westside, just off the Chandler/Colorado roundabout. All the usual suspects will be there. And let’s mix it up a little! New bloggers and out-of-town bloggers, come on down too!
I’m Just Here For the Food
I don’t know why exactly, but for some reason I always think in terms of buying and owning a book when I want to read it. And if the money’s not handy (it usually isn’t), I resign myself to possibly getting the book as a gift for my birthday or Christmas. Ironically, I almost never… Continue reading I’m Just Here For the Food
Zach Braff’s Blog
I plucked this item out of the ORBlogs ORpost RSS feed last night (originally via Acid-Cookie), and forgot to blog about it: Zach Braff, from Scrubs, has a blog. Pretty cool, but what’s off the hook is that the blog’s only been active for about 2 months, but he’s already getting over 1000 comments per… Continue reading Zach Braff’s Blog
Pretzels
You know… while he’s onstage at the Republican National Convention, someone should present Bush with a bag of pretzels.
Reynolds Pond
On Sunday I took the kids to the local swimming hole that I frequented when growing up: Reynolds Pond. As to be expected for something located in Alfalfa, there’s not much online about it, so I thought I’d remedy that a bit. Herewith a bit of local geography and history, along with some wistfulness over… Continue reading Reynolds Pond
Al Fasoldt is at it again
Al Fasoldt is at it again, this time taking on Wikipedia. Remember him? Last year I blasted him for spreading FUD about web technology (“FUD Alert“), and then apologized this year for being so harsh (“Apology“). Well, now more people have caught on: tonight I read from this article on Boing Boing and this article… Continue reading Al Fasoldt is at it again
The Crane Shed
I guess I was bound to comment on this sooner or later: The Crane Shed demolition here in Bend last Thursday, August 19th. It’s the big news around here. Here’s some recap: With a mighty roar, Crane Shed is no more: The initial Bend.com story which lays the groundwork Crane Shed demolition brings shock, sadness:… Continue reading The Crane Shed
