Bud.com items by Steve Rhodes
Links to most of the items I've written for bud.com.
I hadn't written for a long time because of tendonitis, so it was great to start doing these short pieces
(with the help of voice recognition software) and get them up quickly (often minutes after I'd written them).
The style of the site is informal, so some of them came from email I sent to justin or even something
I told him over the phone. And a lot of the links in them no longer work.
Since April of 2000, I've put versions of items I write for bud.com in my weblog, Tiger Beat.
