Despite reminders everyday of the selfishness that humans can express, I think that fundamentally we want to share ourselves with one another. I think everyone wants someone to understand what they are about, even if we aren’t sure of that ourselves.
To that end, it was with great pleasure that I got the chance to watch […]
Maybe I’m just too sweet a guy or something. Or maybe I should practice being more obnoxious… I was looking over some lab results and noticed that the sex in the records is incorrect! I’ve been involuntarily transgendered! Hmmm, this might just explain something weird that happened yesterday. It was minor, but I’d better get […]
I ran across the ad graphic below yesterday, and as proof that sex sells, I’d love to get one of those, especially if the girl comes with it (dirty old man face)… Of course the association of the hardware with sexiness collides with a harsh reality as I recall seeing an old man wearing one […]
Over the last week I’ve witnessed not one, but two downtown Chicago promotions that involved lots of people dressing up in costumes and making a commotion. The first had people dressed as fruit shouting and carrying picket signs for Naked Juice (and giving away samples, yum!). The second featured perhaps hapless employees dressed as orange […]
Morning time is not the time one expects to get one’s socks blown off. Indeed, during most of the morning one usually isn’t wearing any socks at all! Nevertheless, I find myself having go and put another pair on at what I just witnessed.
I got a rare (for me anyway) peek at one of my […]
Perhaps it was only vanity if not cosplay per se, nevertheless, I think I may get some more years on the planet out of the deal. It all started with the crazy idea, fueled somewhat by my experiences at Otakon this year and the creative enthusiasm of my son, that I should do cosplay. So […]
I had some extra fun on the way to work this morning. I was poking around in iTunes 7 when I remembered that I thought I’d seen something somewhere that said that Ayumi Hamasaki albums were available on the iTunes US store now. So I checked it out and w00t! Ayu albums on iTunes! So […]
Well despite a lot of moaning and complaining over on Slashdot about the quality of the original version of Star Wars: A New Hope on the newly released limited edition, I went ahead and bought them anyway. I have the original trilogy on VHS, but I can’t even remember the last time I used the […]
I’m sure there are thousands of blog postings around the internet concerning the 5th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorists attacks. I remember the day as being one of great anger for me. I was angry because I’d just been laid off the Friday before 9/11. And as I watched the first tower collapse on TV, […]
The day began here overcast, cold, and rainy. It’s a dreadfully grey Monday, and my daughter missed her bus stop and ended up being late to school. But am I down? No Way! I’ve got a lot of work to do, but I am having a blast working on my projects in Eclipse because today […]
Forty years ago today, Star Trek began airing on NBC. I grew up watching Star Trek in syndication. I learned the episodes by heart and much of my outlook on life was influenced by that show. So I always get a kick out of people poking fun at it, especially when the people doing it […]
Growing up, I never imagined that someday I’d be teaching my son to sew or my daughter to make a dress. Sharing such traditionally womanly arts is not something that little boys are raised to do here. Nevertheless, I’ve really gotten hooked on sewing so I’m very excited to see the results of my daughter’s […]
President Bush admitted today that the U.S. does have secret prisons around the world in which the CIA holds and interrogates suspected terrorists. He said that the interrogation is tough, but humane, safe, and legal. And he said that this must be done for the security of the U.S.. Well I say we’ve become the […]
Today Battlestar Galactica “webisodes” began on Sci Fi channel’s website. These short 4 minute snippets tell the story of the budding resistance on New Caprica in advance of the season 3 premiere on October 6. But Firefox users need not apply, the first webisode at least would only play in Internet Explorer on my Windows […]
School has started up again, and as the father of a middleschooler, I am officially old! The first day of school went without incident. I picked my daughter up at school and brought her back to my office where she got a chance to witness my mad skillz. My mad skillz of furious typing, calling […]
