I must really be blonde because my wife is constantly telling me that I don’t understand…TT

I take my lunch time walks as much for the sights as for the exercise a couple of days ago I was definitely not disappointed. On my way back I was stopped at an intersection on N Michigan waiting for the light to change. Across the street was an attractive woman with light brown hair, […]

Even after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the death penalty in cases of child rape, it appears that some politicians intend to keep writing unconstitutional laws invoking it in rape cases. This ultimately underscores the hypocrisy of all too many of our elected officials. They say that the death penalty is a deterrent and […]

Now that it has gotten more expensive to drive to work than take the bus, I’m on the bus! I’ve been taking the bus 2 days out of the week at least for the last few weeks, but it’s not really all about the fuel cost. I’ve found that it can be a lot of […]

Arrrrrrgh! The R key has died on my keyboard (Microsoft Comfort Curve)! *expletive deleted* Now I must make do with the uber crappy spare… Not a happy camper!>_>

Yesterday I discovered that my oldest son was farther along the digital media curve than I thought. I was passing by him as he worked on the kids PC and caught a glimpse of what was clearly his art work on a YouTube channel, before he could cover it up! We’re pretty liberal around here, […]

As the price of gasoline has crossed $4/gallon, there are signs that Americans are changing their habits. SUV sales have plummeted, hybrids and smaller cars are in great demand, and people are beginning to drive less. With this we may well see the end of the American obesity epidemic because a lot of people are […]

Outlaw Star was the first complete anime series I bought on AMV and still remains one of my favorites. I finished the Outlaw Hearts AMV just in time for the Anime Central AMV Contest, but with nearly 140 other entries competing for a spot in the finals, the odds are kind of long. Still, I […]

I saw my first pink haired guy on the street a few days ago and it actually looked good on him!^^ In addition to pink, I’ve seen deep cherry reds, blues, and greens. And I’ve also seen a guy with a blonde streaked mohawk wearing denim and leather. One of the nice things about this […]

The so called ‘D.C. Madam’ was found guilty on all counts of running a prostitution ring. Perhaps this comes as no surprise, but the thing that really rankled me was part of the prosecutor’s closing remarks.
“When a man agrees to pay $250 for 90 minutes with a woman, what do most men expect in that […]

A new Harris poll finds that the Bible is America’s favorite book. People are such liars! If the Bible really was America’s favorite book, the way we treat each other and the world would be significantly different! I have yet to see anyone outside of a church casually thumbing through the Bible on a bus […]

I always hated the fact that during college, spring break always came during usually foul Chicago area weather. And now I’m reliving that with my kids who have also inherited this dubious scheduling that probably has more to do with union contracts than a realistic attempt to schedule the break during some truly spring like […]

YouTube has just made more detailed video stats available to all users of the service. Now any YouTube user can see where their viewers are and how popular their videos are in a particular geographic region. It was pretty cool to see that my most popular anime music video has been seen in 31 countries […]

Quantum physics tells us that the very act of observing perturbs the system and affects the outcome of the experiment. On the macroscopic scale of real life we this effect is negligible, and it is probably a good thing that my every thought does not become a command for the larger universe. Yesterday while browsing […]

Edison Chen just went up a notch, his now infamous laptop is in fact a customised pink Macbook! Hey! It’s alright for a guy to like pink. My DS lite is coral pink, and some of my favorite shirts are pink. Pink looks good against my skin, so it’s nice to wear. So kudos to […]
