Can My Computer Blog and Chew Bablegum At The Same Time?

Hard to tell at this point. :/

Signed up for Bablegum.com this evening for no reason other than the simple fact that they had a favored episode of "Thugs On Film" in their stock. It took an hour to download and install their player, and another hour (and counting) to attempt downloading the video I want. Yes, I can blame dial-up but this system compounds the agony.

Just the same, an embed test is in order:

Writer's Block: Where Names Come From

[Error: unknown template qotd]

My father's side of the family wanted me to be named after my uncle Tom. My mother, not liking the idea one bit, told them that she was watching the Saint's Days and that I would be named for the nearest Saint's Day to my birthday. Well, I was born closer to Saint Ambrose of Milan's Day than Saint Thomas' Day. So of course, I was named Stephen. (History isn't big enough for two Ambrose Bierces!)
