Don’t…..read……the emailAs you may well know, I’ve been sorely absent the past 3 weeks. And while I’ve promised myself I’ll never apologize when I take a break from blogging nor will I necessarily explain myself, it took me strongly aback yesterday when I received an email announcing that cocktailnerd.com made PC Magazine’s “Our 100 Favorite Blogs” list.

Holy Irony-laden Email Batman!

Yeah, between a murderizing project, school starting for the kids again, and just losing track of time, it’s astonishing and honoring that I was selected among such luminaries (and personal favorites) as dlisted, Cute Overload (who even mentions me in their post – thanks gang, my kids and I love C.O.!), and gofugyourself. So now I feel all fired up again, the project’s over, and you can expect continuing mildly coherent unedited rambling excellence from this site yet again.

On a side note, I used to subscribe to PC Magazine ages ago and have worked with, built, and repaired PCs since 1988 when my Mom brought home that suitcase-looking ‘portable’ x86 with the amber screen. However, the other irony and another reason my posts have halted - I bought, and am adjusting to, my first Mac I’ve ever used1 . So, thanks PC Magazine, I’m grateful and promise to raise my kids in a PC-rich environment, at least until they’ve killed 3 video cards and 2 hard drives in each of their boxes and spyware has their machines running at 80486 SX speeds.

This is how absurd this is:
In the immortal words of Socrates, ‘I drank what?’

StumbleUpon It!
