As Med and Fade know, I am a Macophile.  Being a designer,, and an early adopter of the IIe I have been using an Apple brand computer for over 2 decades.  Knowing that, like many other computer companies, Apple has some glitches in any new release, I did not jump on the iPhone bandwagon last [...]

     The New Disney-Pixar film “Wall E” is a cute story, enjoyable for both children and adults, which is pretty impressive, since there’s basically no real dialogue for the first hour.  A love story between a pair of robots, trying to save themselves, the Earth, and the Human Race itself, all in beautiful CGI, whose [...]

     So I took the time and braved the crowds this holiday weekend and went and saw “Wanted” this weekend.  While the theater was filled with “too cool and tough for this shit” teenagers dumb enough not to shut off their cell phones, it was thankfully bereft of small children, for whom the movie is [...]

Alright, its been a full week since Festival, and I think that I’m finally recovered enough to write about it.  This year’s Festival involved: The introduction of a new Red Shirt into our tribe; The subsequent promotion of Med from Standing Red shirt to, “Torquemada of the Red”; Multiple Midget games (including horseshoes, badminton, and [...]

After much deliberation I have finally decided on the cause I am going to support. I know I could have taken the easy way out and joined in a cause I have friends already fighting for, but that’s just not the way I do things. It’s never easy. Besides, I wanted to find something that I could even get some of my more lethargic friends to support.

Check out this one from Art Lebedev. Here’s the short version, each key has a tiny microchip and display screen.  So if you don’t want your K key to have a K, but rather a Nekid image of some tasty morsel, you just upload that image to the key chip and presto.  Now you have a [...]

You can feel it in the air.  Already you see people making travel plans, boarding up their houses, the mass evacuations of neighborhoods, children being shipped off to faraway places, and the police gearing up for a rash of complaints. It can only mean one thing. The Festival is nearly upon us, and by that, [...]

So we thought we’d try something new. Something involving sacrifice by us in a brave attempt to enhance or better your life. Something for which we would ask no thanks, but go forth proud in the knowledge that we had suffered on behalf of our fellow man.

Something involving us drinking beer.

Just a few thoughts that popped into my head throughout the day.

 Just because you drop some Swedish Fish into a puddle of rain water, doesn’t mean they’ll swim away, no matter how pretty it looks.
This Traffic Jam would be seriously annoying, if it wasn’t for all the gasoline fumes in my car.  Instead its just [...]

Watching recent events unfold in “How I Met Your Mother” has got me thinking (besides confirming that Neil Patrick Harris is one of the best actors of our time) about friendship. The world of non-romantic relationships takes on many forms and labels. There are acquaintances, workmates, colleagues, roommates, wingmen, Bro’s, buds, mates, close [...]

I’ve been wondering if it was possible to write a short fiction cover of a popular song. So, with all due respect, I’m going to give this a try, and if it doesn’t work, well, piss off. All credit to the original composers of this song, Mr. Jones, Mr. Page, and Mr. Plant.

     The other day I was over Med’s house, trying out a growler(jug o’ beer) of  “Racer X” (which is actually quite good, three tastes in one mouthful).  Seeing as it was a lot of beer, I soon had to adjourn to the bathroom.  As I relieved myself, my eyes wandered over the ever present [...]
