Has AboutItAll bit the dust? The last entry of his I see in my RSS reader was titled “You know… I just don’t have time to keep this blog going” and the entry excerpt (don’t have the full entry in the feed) says “So posting will be spotty at best during the holiday season. I’m pretty sure that after the 1st we’ll be pulling the plug on the AboutItAll.com family of blogs. It’s been fun, but I’ve got to focus on other things for a while…” His site now says “closed. Email me at admin at aboutitall.com if you want to know more.”

I’ve e-mailed him, haven’t heard back. Anybody know what’s going on? He was probably the first Portland-area blog I started reading (along with Jack‘s), and he’ll be missed.

Thanks Barney for the news story link.

I make fun of Nebraska quite often on this blog because I used to work in Nebraska, I have some good friends that still living in Lincoln, and a local blogger is from there.

…so I’m going to take her butt to court.”

An 11-year-old boy in central China took his mother to court for breaking a promise to buy him a computer if he did well at school, a news report said last Monday.

The woman told her son she would buy him a computer if he scored average marks of more than 94% for his school work, the Hong Kong edition of the China Daily reported.

However, she welshed on the deal when he achieved an average of 97%, telling him she could not afford to buy the computer, the newspaper said.

Really, I’m just glad it’s all over. Bush won the majority of the popular vote, so he should be president (for better or for worse). Now can we get on with life?

…Nebraska’s trying to get people to come from Colorado. I’ve been to (and briefly lived in) both states, and there’s no way in hell I’d take Nebraska over Colorado. Ever. Business environment, be damned, it’s still Nebraska.

Man, he’s only been out of the hospital for what, a day, and he’s already trying to pick up chicks. Thanks Josh for the tip.
