Slugging
Posted by AdamT | Filed under Comedy, Uncategorized
Every now and then a trend arises that is considered revolutionary. Hitchhiking in the seventies, Ride-Sharing in the nineties, and now Slugging.
When a commuter (Slug) in DC does not want to ride public transit, or to drive, they may wait at a set location where they will be propositioned by a person in a car. The driver usually wishes to get another body into the car so that they can drive in the HOV lane. The offer will be a destination only, and the commuter will get into the vehicle of the person going his way. Born of an encounter of cheapness with poor planning; this trend has risen and developed its own fratish rules.
Rule #1 Slugs do not talk.

The Inaugural Thought
Posted by Jonathan | Filed under Uncategorized, Websites
November 1, 2007 - Today is the inaugural post, my inaugural thought on ThoughtStook.com. I wanted a place to share my passions and interests with other people. And what better way to share them than to use one of my passions - blogging and websites.
Stook (stûk) refers to a grouping of swathes of grain that are stacked in a circular or rounded patern. ThoughtStook is a grouping of ideas gathered together for the benefit of others. ThoughtStook.com is a place where you can read about my thoughts and those of others regarding technology, websites, blogging, software, politics, culture, comedy, philosophy, religion, worldviews, and books.
Don’t be surprised if you see this site change from time to time. Like I said one of my interests is websites, which includes design and encoding. I will try to post on a regular basis and would encourage you to subscribe and setup a RSS feed to stay up to date.
