Ah, the beauty of alliteration.
It’s that time of year again. That time I both love and hate with equal passion. That time when something like 30,000 assholes Hollywood-types descend on Park City, a town used to housing about 7,300 permanent residents and a few thousand more skiers for a quarter of the year.
2005 is the [...]

Alright, since the response was pretty much unanimous, you can now access Zionide’s Nate Berkus Message Board at nate.zionide.org.
I don’t think I need to explain what is and is not appropriate on the board. Use your best judgment and remember Nate’s request for “the privacy we require to mourn.” If you notice something you consider [...]

So it occurred to me today that I have the space, bandwidth, and tools available to very easily host a message board.
Given the number of people expressing interest in having a centralized location to share new information on Nate and/or Fernando, would it be worth it to you guys if I set up a Nate [...]

Well, I didn’t really expect this much reaction - or credit given - to my total speculation that Oprah had something to do with the removal of the Fernando and Nate Blog.
Just to be clear: there’s no actual proof that Oprah was at all involved; given the circumstances it just seemed likely. But it very [...]

In a rather interesting turn of events, the Fernando and Nate Blog has been deleted. All that’s left on the site is a message that indicates the blogger was asked to remove the blog. Since he or she directs people to Oprah.com for further information, and since Oprah is notoriously succesful at retaining exclusive rights [...]

Because I hate snow and winter and cold and everything that comes with this time of year, and because Salt Lake City currently looks like this:

I am posting photos of Utah from other, better, WARMER times of year. I’m doing this to remind God of the bliss of an early spring (hint hint). I’m doing [...]

Since I am, for the most part, done talking about Nate and the disaster, I’m saying this only as an attempt at preventing further emails kindly letting me know:
Nate Berkus will be talking about the tsunami on Monday’s Oprah.
Not that I don’t appreciate the notice; I definitely do… at least the first dozen messages. So [...]

This month marks my two year blogging anniversary.
What can I say? I was late to catch on.
Patrick started blogging nine months later, in October 2003. He didn’t even know I was blogging until I’d been doing it for almost six months. And how he found out is kinda funny, and further confirms that this really [...]

Ok, ok - you can stop emailing me and telling me I’m wrong about the message on Oprah.com!
Oprah’s site may now refer to Fernando as Nate’s “partner,” but it wasn’t like that late last night and earlier today when I wrote the rant. It said “friend” then, and Nate’s personal site looked like it always [...]

Yesterday afternoon, Oprah.com posted a message from Nate Berkus and promised updates on tomorrow’s Oprah show, which will be her first of the year.
<soapbox>
In his message, Nate again refers to Fernando Bengoechea as his “friend.”
This annoys me to no end.
Since I’m probably gonna take a lot of crap for what follows (Maria already mentioned how [...]
