Friends to strangers, it’s not just a Southern thing. Fulton County homeowners get a breather. For this year… A blind spot? No kidding. There’s never, ever, enough juice. Super, double secret Senate healthcare bill revealed yesterday. Same ol’, same ol’ or something that might actually work? You read it and decide. No money. Seriously, dude,

Who else got one of those packages with threats and white powder? Fox5 Atlanta, Karen Handel, her neighbors… People.Calm.Down. Miss Abby is not pleased. Tearing everything down is not the answer.

And There was Great Rejoicing

If you missed the news during your morning torture commute today, drivers everywhere are celebrating. The I-85 bridge will reopen for morning rush Monday, May 15. A full month ahead of schedule.

Certified Cinco de Mayo Free. I find their lack of faith disturbing. Whatever you do, DON’T CLICK ON THAT GOOGLE DOC. And now we won’t be able to get into Miller Union, either. One of the many things wrong with academia. (Yes, it’s long. Don’t be a baby.) Dear Lord. No shame. No shame at

Atlanta Nears Head of the Tech Class

The old IT guy image of slide rules and pocket protecters is gone. Today’s tech workers require the best bandwidth, cool tools, workplace flexibility and most of all, a bit of fun in the office.
