I really didn’t intend to do another Highlands football post but then Chris Stegner posted a link to a gigapan of the football game last night and I couldn’t resist.

A few news and notes for your hot mid-week pleasure: 1. BBC writer, Paul Slade, has written a great story about the Pearl Bryan murder from the 1890’s. It is truly a fascinating read as it was apparently the OJ Simpson murders of its time – and right here in Fort Thomas. Give it a […]

Bipartisan Cheering Sectors
Been on vacation for a while, sorry for the lack of posts. It took me a while to catch up on all my emails, tweets, facebook updates, etc. Most of all, I was very interested in the comments (and lack there of comments) in the last two articles I posted. 1) A simple post on […]

Two examples of this was brought to my attention this week and both use technology to demonstrate how those employed by our […]
