It’s no trouble at all to just fire up the WordPress admin screens and take a look at how many hits I’veContinue reading “On Today's Weird Search Phrase”
On Some Really Cool LEGO Videos
I love LEGO. But not as much as some people love LEGO. These people love LEGO. And stop-motion. And making videos. Grand Theft Auto: LEGO City. LEGO Halo 2.
