It is with great sadness that I report that my George Foreman (aka. “grilla”) has finally passed away. It has served me well over these past 5 or so years that I have owned it, doling out the salmon or occasional burgs with quickness and ease. Oh, and the sandwiches. I always would forget to [...]

Factcheck.org gettin all meta-psychological on our ass. Now I’ve been a pious fan of research cherry-picking watchdog groups for about as long I’ve been politically aware and internet enabled, and perhaps therein lies part of the problem, one man’s statistically sound study, another man’s crock-full-a…
But Factcheck, who remain all too infrequent and obscure, contemplate the [...]

End times, baby. As we’ve been pondering and predicting and hoping for years, the paradigm shift in the music “industry” seems to be finally upon us. In an effort to topple pathetically desperate Big Music, who have taken to suing fans and consumers that they overcharged for years, it seems a flurry of your [...]

4am. Been working the overnights lately and seen my bedtime creep from the usual 3am to 6am. Finishing early tonight. Enjoying some ice cream, which got me thinking, they should have a mix of chocolate and Combos, my other favorite late night snack. That’s right the cheese filled pretzels. Ok, I just tried it, and [...]

Is it worth it to rage against something intangible like bureaucracy? I imagine not. Why is ‘collective man’ so fucking useless? The Kafka within me just won’t submit quietly. Ok, instead of succumbing to fantasies of workplace violence, I’ll just listen to the Circle Jerks…

So the other day after observing a child throw a tantrum, and in the wake of a mini-internal tantrum of my own, I was thinking about how advanced whining over not-getting-what-one-wants can actually become. We just hide it better as adults. As children, it is very over-the-top emotional rage, usually culminating in public outburst and [...]

I’ve had two itinerant visitors recently, the first of which transformed the house next door to me, approximately 15ft away, into a 24×7 crunk-hall fiesta, booooooming in such a way that I could barely hear the internet, or my silly thoughts. That made me mad. I tried the Buddhist thing, I tried to ignore it, [...]

Another thing nobody told me about, like currywurst, is this fantastic place called the Container Store. Go ahead, laugh, as you have all been conspiring to keep it a secret from me for years. While everyone else has led perfectly “containered” lives, I’ve been suffering in an agonizing distopia of poorly containered closets, shelves, cupboards, [...]

From a Church on Hill St. Thing is, I saw this same sign near verbatim over ten years ago in Athens, GA on a particularly very hot day riding in my little-to-no AC Subaru down Oglethorpe Ave. It was funny then. But apparently God is running out of original threats.

I’ve brought up my fascination with non-lethal weapons before. And let me tell you, whether it’s military adventurism, fraternity pranks, or good ol’ domestic abuse, non-lethal weapons can play a big part in your life. With no casualties everyone’s a winner, in a non-lethal utopia by way of a sticky foam rave kind of way, [...]
