For those keeping track:
I broke up the now non-existent category Austin at night (and day) into two more specific, not very cleverly named ones: Keep Austin Weird and Austin nights. I think I might do some more breaking up in order to keep things more on-topic. I’ll sleep on it.
Also, I’ve added a new link [...]
To be honest, The MKX® Gift Shop has not exactly overtaken Wal-Mart in sheer sales volume yet.
However, a big step in the right direction happened this morning when I received an invoice for and order of one of our most popular items: Ugly Nun Thon (pictured below), placed by a Susan from California… whom [...]
I’ve been waging a relentless war against spam for year on multiple fronts. And I’m losing.
My brilliant catch-all strategy/use hundreds of email addresses so I can identify the bastards that give up my email and then do who knows what backfired on me. I had to switch gears and it’s been a lot of work. [...]

I wasn’t sure what to do [...]

For educational purposes only, let’s compare the figures presented by Computerworld, which represent the total Internet usage patterns against the usage patterns of you, the enlightened Marcos Kirsch Experience® visitor. Just for kicks, let’s also see how [...]
I am terrible at remembering birthdays. I’m great at remembering the words for the spanish-version theme songs of early 80’s cartoons.
I know my birthday, both my brother’s birthday, one of my cousin’s birthday (Jan 1 - easy), and then a bunch more that I remember by association (i.e. Jorge Guttman - a day after Jaco, [...]
