In sympathy to Jason Calacanis’ troubles with legal dummies over the use of the words “For Dummies” in a weblog post headline, and at the suggestion of Jeff Jarvis, I present, ladies and gentlemen (and dummies), my weblog – For Dummies.
Hmmm, now there’s supposed to be a TM or ® somewhere…

On Saturday we visited the Firkin for a few beers and to celebrate both Klaas’ and Nadia’s birthdays. As always, the Firkin provided great live entertainment.
Sandbox were playing a gig at Firkin for the first time in a couple of months, and the crowd were excited to have them.
