Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I've been busy with house stuff for a couple weeks. On July 14, I updated the book review on the "Books" page and changed the movie review on the "ShowBiz" page.

The American Dialect Society chose the word on January 4, 2008 at its meeting in Chicago. Other words receiving votes included Facebook, waterboarding and the environmentally-friendly prefix green.You can read the entire news release HERE.
