Update (10:45am): Disqus is having some issues this morning, they are aware of the problem. Update II: Disqus seems to be back up (knock on wood). Update III: The second I post Disqus is back up, it goes down again. Nice.

Late-morning bump: For those of you longing for a pic of Mooch playing ping-pong in China, today is your lucky day!

Update: Afternoon bump. Quick site note, in order to speed up the page load times I had to take down the comments widget on the sidebar, I hope to get it back up at some point.

An oldie but goodie.
