Vox Hunt: Oh Canada!

nobody@vox.com(Scott) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 21:08:56 -0400

In honor of Canada Day, show us your favorite Canadian. There are several vying for that honor, but at the end of the day I think it goes to the mighty Moe Berg, chairman of The Pursuit of Happiness. You rawk, Moe.

nobody@vox.com(Scott) — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 14:48:32 -0400

Way back on February 10th, I said I that would, for the remainder of that month, write a private response to each QoTD and, if I liked the result, post it here. I also claimed I would report back at the end of the month whether I'd stuck with it....

Cicada Invasion

nobody@vox.com(Scott) — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 20:49:39 -0400
