Baby Sophia

tadhgk@gmail.com (Tadhg) — Wed, 09 May 2007 16:32:00 +0000

nou: Getting Creative

tadhgk@gmail.com (Tadhg) — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 22:28:00 +0000

Why is the Web uncreative? This is something that I've always wondered. Not that there is no creativity on the web (there is) but rather why it only arrives up into the public consciousness in fits...

Are conservatives really this desparate?

tadhgk@gmail.com (Tadhg) — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 19:30:00 +0000

tadhgk@gmail.com (Tadhg) — Sun, 25 Feb 2007 12:50:00 +0000

Conjuring Sense
