Classic Craigslist Posting

Posted on April 9, 2005 by Brent

In setting up Newsburst this morning I discovered a “best of craigslists” rss feed. For those of you not familiar with Craigslist, it is a free local community/classified site that is beating the crap out of traditional newspaper classified services.

Posted on April 9, 2005 by Brent

Former teammates at KU, Mike and Sandy Evers had their third son on Friday — Jett McEwen Evers. I have to guess Mike and Sands have not grown tired of addressing the same question “What did you say his name was?” Jett’s brothers are Stone and Wilder.

Posted on April 6, 2005 by Brent
