Category	Posts	Description
9-11	111	The Event, the Days Following, and the Annual Brouhaha
Big Business	349	The Good, the Bad, and the Frequently Ugly of Capitalism, Corporation, and the Free Enterprise System. Oh, yeah, and plenty of rants about Microsoft's business practices. See also "Media Moguls."
Blogathon	278	Periodic 24-hour blogging sessions for charity. The madness!
Blogging	1129	My blog. Your blog. Blogging. Blogging software. It's all about blogs. And web stuff. And links. Links through the web on my blog. Stuff like that.
Blogging - Technical	32
Cars	130	Cars in our lives. Not a very common thread, to be sure ... but when it comes time to buy one ...
Elections 2004	90	Bush vs. Kerry
Elections 2006	27	Mid-terms
Elections 2008	362
Environment	16	Global warming, animal rights, the ecosphere, pollution, "this Island Earth"
Family	12
Food & Drink	475	Experiences of gustatory delight, noteworthy visits to restaurants, or just stuff about the things we eat and drink. (Diet-related stuff is under "Health")
Food & Drink - Restaurants	33
Food & Drink - Wine	11
Fourth Estate	296	The media and their message. (Early on this category was also a hodge-podge of other stuff -- I'm slowly trying to clean that up.)
Gaming	470	Role Playing Games. Not only are they a pastime, but they're how I met my wife. And most of my friends. Yeesh, is that geeky or what?
Gay Stuff	166	For someone who is as definitively straight as I am, I find the issue of gay rights (esp. around marriage/partnership) to be one of the compelling civil rights issues of our day. That, and other stuff about homosexuality, shows up here.
Geopolitical Brouhaha	676	Is the entire world insane? At least it's not just us. This category deals with insanity outside the US borders (and/or how the US deals with it or is impacted by it). See also "9-11"
Golf	44	A good walk spoiled? Or the only decent exercise that I get? Whatever, it's a lot less boring to do it than to watch it -- and once you've done it, watching it is a lot more interesting.
Health	323	My body, and you're welcome to it.
Health - Science	22
Hi-Tech	852	Computers. Broadband. The Internet (except for, y'know, that Blogging stuff). Techie toys and goodies. (For personal tech notes about me, see "My Computer".)
Holidays	12
Home Improvement	336	Fighting entropy whilst making our house a home. The good, the bad, and the back-straining of interior and exterior improvements.
Homeland Security	414	Post-9/11 security measures, privacy, law enforcement, and air travel follies.
Job Jollies	679	I love my work ... I love my work ... I love my work ...
Jokes	89	Because sometimes you just want to post something funny outside of any other given topic or category.
Karate	56
Love and Marriage	200	Mostly about Margie and Me, with a smackerel of other bits of love and lust.
Media	855	Books, movies, TV and music. Individual works and the industry that spawns them. News, reviews, cheers and boos.
Media - Art	17
Media - Books	223
Media - Cartoons	87	From Warner Bros. to Anime, if it involves drawings flipped at high speed to simulate reality, I'm watching it.
Media - Comics	517	Comic books. I collect 'em. And sometimes I comment on them, too.
Media - Movies	302
Media - Music	56
Media - Performers	2
Media - Sports	17
Media - Stage	5
Media - TV	238
Media - TV - Doctor Who	79

Mr. Unsolicited Advice	12
My Computer	296
My Mobile / PDA	18
Parenting	678	How to raise a kid. Or, more often, how our kid is raising us.
Personal	627	It's all about me. Or my family. Or my friends. Personal events and personal views that don't fit anywhere else (which, based on the proliferation of categories doesn't seem like it should be much, but sure turns about to be).
Personal Q&A	277	This is where I put all those question-and-answer-meme posts. You can probably learn a lot about me here. Or not.
Personality Tests	316	How five meaningless questions can tell someone that I'm a Daffodil, or Emperor Palpatine, or the color Blue, I'll never know. But if it sounds like fun, I'll take the test ...
Pets	68	Pets in general, perhaps, but our pets in particular.
Pix	8
Politics & Law	912	It's about politics. And law. Except, sometimes, for where that's covered in other categories (e.g., "ZT & PC," "Homeland Security," "Media Moguls," "Big Business").
Potpourri	761	If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it probably fits here, a la "Jeopardy." Mostly humorus stuff.
Religion	747	Mostly my own religious meanderings and mutterings, interspersed with religious news (and, thus, commentary, and therefore, more meanderings and mutterings).
Religion - Episcopal Church	25
Religion - Me	15
Religion - My Parish	7
School Daze	210	The "ed biz," particularly Katherine (and our) experience in it.
Science	611	Except for computer-related and other "Hi-Tech" stuff, this is where the cool science posts go. Most of which, to be sure, end up being about psych/soc studies, which are questionable science much of the time.
Spam	214	Spam. And viruses. And hackers. Death to 'em all.
Travel	716	Vacations and business outings, this category covers my own travelogues, with additional stories showing up underneath Homeland Security, as appropriate.
Travel - WDW 01	13
Travel - WDW 02	12
Travel - WDW 04	13
Travel - WDW 06	42	We travelled to WDW in late May/early June 2006, as a "gift" for Katherine's birthday, just out of Kindergarten. Both sets of grandparents came along, too.
Travel - WDW 07	32
US Bank Sucks	9	The trials and tribulations of dealing with U.S. Bank and its customer service reps, along with diverse comments from others in a similar situation.
Virii	13
Walking	5
Weather	373	The turning of the seasons, and the meteorological outcome thereof. Oh, and some wildfire stuff, too, mixed in with various water shortages and drought discussions.
Weight	18
WIST	48	Notes and nattering on WIST (Wish I'd Said That), my quotations database.
Writing and Language	202	The writing craft in general, and my feeble stabs at it in particular. Not to mention just my Joy of Lex.
ZT & PC	723	Zero Tolerance. Political Correctness. The Feel-Good-and-Esteemed Society. And other extreme goofiness of the law and language. Don't get me started ... oh, wait, too late ... (Also includes various other First Amendment/Freedom of Expression/Censorship posts.)
