The thought of Playboy doing a “Women of Starbucks” photospread makes me a little queasy if they recruit any of the local baristas from my area… :)

A Call to All Bloggers!

Thursday, February 27th, 2003

people of the world who maintain weblogs, you don’t understand how a little thing like ‘pinging’ weblogs.com or blo.gs makes my life as a “weblog reader” that much easier…

Buy This Now
