I recently read a press release about a company I thought was quite good. “Thought” being the operative word. In it, they said they wanted to”spread their services to all corners of the globe”. Now normally since we hear this term often we think nothing of it. But if you think about it with the [...]

Mac OS X Leopard
So it happened that I was in the Apple store in Bridgeport Village when they were rolling out the latest and greatest version of Apples new OS. I was there to help out a friend but I was quite taken with Leopard once I got to playing with it. For instance, the Time Machine is [...]
Stuff I want in my house: metal cabinets
Now I normally don’t succumb to the outside pressure of “this is what is manly and you are a man to have it” type of crap, but this really caught my eye as it goes with what I want in my house. I was over a Car Guy Garage and I spot some metal cabinets [...]
The future of the music industry
I just finished reading this really great article about where the music industry is headed and I have got to share it with everyone. When Pigs Fly: The Death of Oink, the Birth of Dissent, and a Brief History of Record Industry Suicide. It is one of the most well written and inspired articles I [...]
Skateboard Accessories?
I am seeing more and more on the streets people carrying around skateboards. At first I thought “Cool. The more skaters the better.” But upon closer inspection I found that they weren’t actually doing anything other than walking around with them. This got me a bit confused so I watched a group of them while [...]
Random Thoughts
Do they call it french toast in France? Do they call them belgium waffles in Belgium? Is it just ‘food’ in China? What if Americo Vespuce (map maker on Columbus’s voyage) was named Bob? United States of Bob? Has sort of a ring to it in a fucked up sort of way. If a man [...]
Migraines and Milestones
More about migraines than anything else but the title sounded good. I have had these blasted things for a great many years and although I have tried just about every cure, none of them has really helped. Even the prescription stuff didn’t do squat. This is because you have to take it before you get [...]
Tshirt Knowledge
I went to Starbucks for my weekly dose of superficial culture and I saw something that I was not really expecting. It was a shirt. Now, I know most people wear shirts when they go out, but this one said “Im not with stupid anymore”. At this I thought, “That is cool. Good for you.” [...]
Wealth through investing
After being somewhat reemed on the cost of my dentist appointment, I was looking at some means of alternative incomes (unfortunately the local nudie bar wasn’t hiring) when I came across a seminar in New York City called the Wealth Expo. From the sounds of it it is not one of those “you’ll be a [...]
Tooth fairy my butt
I went to the dentist today to get a couple of cavities filled. I thought it would be a simple ‘drill and fill’ but it was more like a ‘gouge and paste’ kind of affair. Evidently the tooth was so bad that they had to remove about 80% of it before plastering in the new [...]
