I've added a poll to the right hand bar of the blog. For a long time, we've wanted to host polls on the blog, but we couldn't really decide the best way to do it. We tried with Bravenet for awhile, but it generated pop-ups on the site. I hate pop-ups (...

For some reason I've been thinking about this a lot lately. When I was in college, I couldn't afford college. So, I joined the National Guard. It was crazy and, looking back, I realize that it was really not the right place for me. If I had it to do o...

In my marriage, I've always gotten up and made breakfast. It just seems like the way it should be. I like breakfast, and it takes me a lot less time to get ready in the morning. So, I've always been the breakfast guy. Several years ago, Aubrey and I a...

The name Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna probably does not mean much to most Springfield residents. It's a name that probably shouldn't mean too much either if it weren't for a military regiment from Illinois that attacked the Mexican General and his men. The...

Just watch these two videos and you'll be well on your way to a full night's worth of creepy dreams. I don't know if it's the way the clowns stalk their way around the nursing home, the disturbing porno music, or the way the video leads you to believe th...

I thought it would be fun to post a short little narrative about Abraham Lincoln from time to time. We Central Illinoisans are immersed in Abraham Lincoln, but I'm not sure we all get a balanced picture of him. I feel like most of what I read/see/hear a...

Nothing major here. We just updated to the "new" blogger a couple of weeks ago, and I just got around to updating our template to the new style. The new blogger is growing on me, mostly because it gives us folks who are not very in the know about websit...

I've seen several local bloggers mention The Ditty Bops in the last year. See here and here. It seems that The Ditty Bops made their way through Springfield last summer, although few people got the chance to see them due to a mixup on the Illinois Times...

Last July, Dave Bakke ran an article that discussed the likelihood of local bloggers beating the SJ-R or other local media outlets to "big stories." Dave interviewed several local bloggers (myself included). It seemed like Dave's consensus in his articl...

I saw this video on YouTube a few days ago and thought it was hilarious. It's a spoof of the "7 Days in a Sentra" campaign by Nissan. Give it a watch.
