Finally, a decent look for ChipMahaney.com

Ever since I created this site earlier this year, I’ve struggled to figure out what to do with my namesake site, chipmahaney.com . From 2004 to 2008, the domain housed my personal blog (via Blogger), with personal/family photos and stories, but now most of that goes on Facebook. For the past few months [...]

I love grocery store blogs

When I blogged all about Flower Mound Texas at FlowerMoundRoad.com from 2004 to 2007, I loved to write about our local grocery stores.  So I loved finding this post this morning, which I can use for my own good at my local Kroger this week:  http://littlemissknowitall.net/kroger-mega-event-matchups/ .

What was I doing at 12:34:56 on 7/8/9?  Eating lunch at my desk – pretty much same as every day! I posted the photo to Twitter, Facebook and to WCPO.com. What were you doing at this magic moment? Hope it was good for you too.

Today it’s 7/8/9!

July 8, 2009 is also 7/8/9, which means there will be a second today when it’s 12:34:56 on 7/8/9.  (Actually there were will be two of these seconds, but we’ve already missed the first, just after midnight.)
Here’s what you do:  At that very second, 12:34:56 on 7/8/9 (today!), take a picture of yourself and post [...]
