Raking the Muck

Bye-bye Blogspot

This will be my last Blogger post. What a long strange trip it's been, blah blah blah.

No, I'm not quitting the world of "web-logging" but rather Raking the Muck will be re-born to (at?) another blogging facilitator in the near future—probably Wordpress. Hey if 2008 has taught us anything it's that Change®™ is good and besides I've tinkered with my Blogger template beyond any reasonable hope of recovery or repair.

I'm not going to close down the ol' Blogspot completely though. I mean who knows when an interview with a hat or a review of Rags to Riches may come in handy?

I've used the word "Blog" too much in this post so I'm going to stop now.

P.S. This turns 10 on January 12 and time does it's terrible dance.

Wishing you the Swayziest of Yuletide seasons

You didn't ask for it...

...but here it is anyway: my 2008 Christmas wishlist.

I'd also like to highlight a few items from the fantastic online retailer Think Geek. Basically everything they sell is awesome but here are some standouts:

The 8-bit Tie

This is pretty self-explanatory. Hopefully in order wear one you aren't required to be a frumpy looking emo kid.

Tiny R/C Hovercraft

You can never have too many RC toys.

How to Survive a Robot Uprising

Practical and timely.

Everything Must Change


Just kidding!

Killer Rabbit Slippers


Who needs a girlfriend?

LED Faucet Lights

Wonderfully, sublimely pointless!

And finally:

Blogging Poster

Why can't we do both?

You decide

Marginally insane MN DFL state rep Phyllis Kahn or Woody Allen?

Marginally insane filmmaker Woody Allen or Phyllis Kahn?

Paul Reiser...

...wishes you and yours the happiest of Holidays!
