Say it ain’t so, O!

April 10, 2010

This is why people hate politicians and don’t trust them. This is why people think they ALL lie. Watch this: He calls himself a ‘Southside Kid’ but can’t name a single player? I’m sorry that is just pathetic.  Pathetic because he’s obviously lying and he got busted and tried to stammer his way out of [...]

I give up. I’m just gonna ROCK

April 6, 2010

Yep. That’s right. I’m changing my ways. Oh yes, you will still get the occasional well reasoned, intellectualized, uber-brilliant post (in my own mind anyway), but I’m realizing I lag too much when I overthink  writing a ‘perfect’ post. From now on I will force myself to write more often. Throw caution to the wind [...]

The Three Most Important Lessons I Learned in College

February 16, 2010

I’m feeling all self-helpish and instructional today so here you go… Statistics show  a huge percentage of college graduates end up in a career that has little or nothing to do with their degree. I admit, even I only do occasional freelance work associated with my degree. So what’s the point then? Why go? Here [...]

For Dryve Fans -Some Videos…

February 14, 2010

So I got this dvd burner for Christmas that allows me to transfer VHS to DVD. Finally. I’ve been wanting to do this forever. I have a lot of VHS tapes taking up precious shelf space in my living room that needs to go in boxes and put in the back of the shed. Dryve [...]

Seen it all? Try ‘Pomplamoose’.

February 10, 2010

In today’s information overloaded and media saturated environment I find myself having little to no expectation for anything surprising me. And definitely not anything exciting me or moving me. How could there be anything?  It’s all been done. And done. And done. And overdone. And then along comes something like ‘Pomplamoose’.

More on (Moron?) the New Social Retardation

January 18, 2010

So what’s the deal? Why this anxiety and awkwardness when you meet a Facefriend in real time? With a social networking site like Facebook, there is no spatial or social context for those ‘encounters’ with your new friends.

“Who you callin’ Facetard?” Social Media and the new social awkwardness.

January 15, 2010

A few weeks ago I was invited to a friend’s birthday party at a fine Thai restaurant. I knew no one except the birthday boy and my wife as we sat down at a table of about 18 people. Directly across from me sat a girl whom I vaguely recognized. As she introduced her self [...]

Bye Bye 2009 and Good Riddance!

December 29, 2009

These Jib Jab guys are always good for a laugh but they are spot on with this one. It seems for a lot of -if not most people -2009 is a year best forgotten. I know way too many people that lost jobs, lost money and lost their homes. Some of it they brought on [...]

Christmas Gone Good

December 24, 2009

So, I’ve been thinking about Christmas. Christmas and materialism to be exact. I confess, I was a childhood materialist, endlessly perusing the Sears catalog to figure out what I could get with the budget my mom allotted for my seasonal indulgence. A Stereo? Toys?
