A while ago, I wrote a post entitled What Makes Someone Sexy? Evidently, ParentsConnect, part of the big brand of Nickelodeon, liked some of the content because they’ve featured me as one of their Top Sexy Mamas. (Note to self: To feel more sexy as I write this post, I should likely change out of […]

An Obituary for EduClaytion
EduClaytion, the blog of my good friend Clay Morgan, is dead. Here is the obituary. After three years and over 400 posts, eduClaytion has been laid to rest. Best known for his quirky musings, eduClaytion charmed the world like a zombie-hunting Flynn Rider. Many will remember his ridiculous videos of the most mediocre quality available. […]
Search-Bombing: An Irresistible April Fool's Blogging Tradition
It started one year ago. It was the first mischievous project that Clay Morgan (a.k.a. Mr. Educlaytion of March Movie Madness fame) and I undertook together.

Why Atticus Finch Is Better Than Han Solo
UPDATE: Atticus advanced to the Elite Eight. I won’t be doing any more full posts on voting for him, but I will do “bottom links.” Thanks for voting and for bearing with me.

Atticus Finch: A Hero for the Ages, including the Zombie Apocalypse
UPDATE: Atticus won! He moves to the next round…against Han Solo. More on that soon. I’m in a contest.

Atticus […]
Whose Side Are You On?
It’s your turn to pick sides. Clay Morgan (the best blogger Pittsburgh has ever seen) and I have a friendly wager riding on the results of the NHL season opener between his Penguins and my Flames. Only it’s you–the readers–who will take home the swag. We are sending some highly-prized chocolate bounty from our cities […]
16 Reasons to Love or Leave Canada
I am thrilled that Clay Morgan is guest posting here today. He is a very hot commodity. In the past two weeks, he’s landed an agent, been Freshly Pressed (featured on WordPress’s homepage), spoken at a large conference, and been a star at Muckfest (see photos below, except the alligator one). You’ve seen his name […]

The Aftermath of Search Bombing
On the seventh day, I reflected. Yes, it’s been one week since Clay Morgan and I launched the Search Bomb on the blogging world. For the uninitiated, Search Bombing is when you intentionally search a specific phrase in order to get to someone’s blog; if you’re successful, your search will show up on that blogger’s […]
A New April Fool’s Blogging Tradition: Search Bombing
Many bloggers are intrigued with the search results that bring people to their blog. Whether it’s “decapitated Barbie doll” or “giving your kid the middle finger,” looking at these phrases can be amusing, scary, and baffling. But what if a person were to intentionally search bizarre phrases in order to haunt another blogger? That is […]
