Mike Rowe’s Dirty Job: QVC Salesman for Precious Moments (and the Amazing KatSak)

I was just preparing to enjoy one of my last doses of NFL football for the year and heard the very familar and comforting voice of Mike Rowe selling large trucks. If you aren’t familiar with the fellow, here’s the wiki bio. He also did/does a fun little show called Dirty Jobs.  As the United [...]

Moderate Backyard Rant and a Flat Out Lie

Doing more video rants slowly and surely.    An Android is handy helper for a RPN, no doubt about that. Here’s a couple from a few days back.  As per, this came a couple days before the perfect example of exactly what I was talking about (that’s the Flat Out Lie mentioned in the title). The [...]

Existing home sales soar 8% in April

http://money.cnn.com/2010/05/24/real_estate/existing_home_sales/?postversion=2010052412 “The upswing in April existing-home sales was expected because of the tax credit inducement, and no doubt there will be some temporary fallback in the months immediately after it expires, but other factors also are supporting the market,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist. “For people who were on the sidelines, there’s been a [...]

Whole boatloads of Awesome

If you’ve missed the ICP hilarity over the past few months, you can catch up here. Shaggy 2 Dope: Come on, a rock that pulls metal towards it or pushes it away? Yeah, it has to do with the magnetic polar caps and [stuff]. But for real? Come on, man. You’re just holding a U-shaped [...]

Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you. Done in [...]

The White Russian, The Dude’s Favorite Drink

The following is a conversation about a girl I met in the final moments of 2008 {the white “Russian”.  She mentioned a passion for Russian literature, and that’s how I remember her.}.  I gave her my card, but I’m not sure if she’ll call.  She is a quiet girl. I’ll be playing the role of [...]

I’m Still Trying to Come Up With a Title for My Book

I just thought of another good one, “Philosophy is an Action.” If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.  I’ve already written down some predictions of what people will think of it, and I want to check my work. Joel, you first. 

The 1st Book Is Going to Be 50,000 Words Long

I like the number 50. A comment on Facebook is 1000 characters long, so I’ve been training my ability to be efficient. So, 50 comments is about a book, right? [UPDATE:  C'mon, I need somebody to check my math.  My book isn't going to be 50,000 characters long (it went past that in the first [...]

The First Two Chapters Are Up

As mentioned a little while back, I am putting the blog on hold and writing a book. O.k. I didn’t do such a good job of that (as the latest posts can testify) but that hasn’t stopped the book from coming along nicely. They can read be read here. I’d love to get some feedback [...]

Don’t Trust That Guy, Yo. Dat Cat’s Got Two Faces

See, told ya. This is where the phrase, “Here, kitty, kitty” comes from. Cerberus is unimpressed.  And probably based on something of a true story, as I’ve also seen two-headed cows and two-headed turtles before.

It’s a Blue Planet, Although It *is* Snowing on Mars

Vote Obama or McCain: Global Electoral College | The Economist. – There’s a nice application over at the Economist that gives a feeling of how the world would vote if the concept of the United States’ ”electoral college” was exported to the entire world. Unsurprisingly, they favor the guy who is more their color. Which is to [...]
