This is an easy one and one you probably don’t need to read. However it does point back to the marinara sauce recipe which is what’s really important. With a little crusty Italian bread to soak up any excess sauce on the plate, a glass of red wine, and Billy Joel playing on the stereo, it doesn’t get much better.
Spaghetti with Marinara Sauce

Shaun Of The Dead – movie review
01/30/2010Two buddies trying to never grow up, share a flat (yes it is British) and somehow ineptly survive a newly infected zombie world with a surprising ending.
Simon Pegg, co-author and star, notes, we didn’t want to make a comedy zombie movie, we wanted to make a zombie movie and comedy movie at the same time. Whether he succeeded, of even if that’s possible, is left up to you to decide. The end result, however, is a movie worth watching for anyone who knows what a zombie is.
King Kong (1933) – movie review
01/25/2010There’s mystery in the air. From the cargo vessel loaded with explosives, with 3 times the number of crew needed for a ship this size, planning to leave the harbor before the authorities board it in the morning, traveling to an unknown destination known only to a strange P. T. Barnum-like movie producer looking for a star for his movie in the homeless shelters, to the black and white images almost always shot in poor light or fog with portions of the scene too dark to see into, there’s mystery in the air in what many people have on their list of all-time best movies.
WordPress – .com vs. .org – speed and freedom
01/19/2010Speed And Freedom
.com is sort of slow to edit .org is better
Speed counts. Normally we’d think of this as how fast your blog posts are served up to your readers. That hasn’t been a problem so far with either the .com or .org version. What you’ll notice more is how slow it is to edit your posts directly on .com using the built-in editor.
WordPress – .com vs. .org – monetizing
01/17/2010Monetizing Your Blog
com is restrictive and sort of fuzzy org is wide open
Monetizing your blog simply means making money from your blog. While many of you writing blogs, write for personal reasons, it would be an incentive if you could earn a few dollars a year to treat yourself to a dinner or kitchen gadget you’ve always wanted from all the hard work you’ve done to create and maintain your blog’s content. Making money on the web generally involves running; banner ads, ad services and or links to sites where you might make a small commission for referrals and any sales coming from you. WordPress.com is very restrictive in what you can do to monetize your blog. WordPress.org is your baby to do with as you want.

Miep Gies – Profiles In Courage
01/11/2010The headline noted, Miep Gies dies at age 100. I did not, as you might not, recognize the name. However the name next to hers I recognized. That name was Anne Frank. You may not recognize the second name either. While the opportunity is present, and before the headline passes into the ethernet (hopefully to be cached forever by Google), take a few minutes to read about both. Here’s the url to the headline.
