Here’s his advice for a young person, struggling to find the next thing. “But doing what you don’t want is not practical. If you are not suited [...]

Pick a Peck of Pickle Panic

Wow. Witness this clip, of a young girl afraid of pickles. Bless Maury’s heart for attempting to help this young girl. Now, instead of being teased by a relatively small group of people who know her personally, this young lady can be mocked mercilessly by strangers all over the world. It’s funny! Via one of my favorite [...]

Saucy - Budweiser spices up BBQ

Dear Cousin Jeff - News from the grocery store! You’ll be so excited. They’ve mixed Budweiser beer in with crappy barbeque sauce! No more slaving over a hot grill for you. It’s super masculine … you can put beer in everything! You’ll be the hit at the next party, especially if you shave with a 5 bladed [...]

Friday Night Resignation

It’s Friday night. End of a long week. The kind of Friday I usually spend horizontal, drinking a beer, watching a movie. Today’s a little different. My Powerbook came back from the shop today. New hard drive. New top case. So the machine is clean. Clear. Nothing on it. The trackpad, worn down from two and a half years [...]
