About three weeks ago, K-Mart released a coupon that granted the user 20% off anything in the store, aside from a few logical exceptions listed in the fine print. A new Playstation 3 was not listed as one of the exceptions. This was a perfect opportunity to buy a PS3.
At the same time, […]
Working from home give you the opportunity to really keep in touch with the best things about daytime television, the lives of the days of our lives, the children of all my children, the local technical institute commercials, and best of all, The Price is Right.
I grew up with The Price is Right. I thought […]
As I was visiting cnnsi.com to catch up on the Cavs-Spurs NBA finals series, the latest indication of America’s annual summer addiction to football was pressed up against the anger portion of my brain. The Bengal’s star wide receiver, Chad Johnson, raced a horse in a charity event recently. He wasn’t on the horse, but […]
It only took one morning to put Imus into perspective. CNN calls it “The deadliest shooting rampage in U.S. history,” but this was far from a rampage. One guy chained up the doors to a building and started shooting everyone inside. This was a carefully planned assault.

It appears that I wrote my summary of Austin hastily. I was proven wrong; not by facts, not by the unfolding of poorly predicted happenings, but by relativity.
I wrote that the traffic in Austin was bad. Now I will defend myself by saying that this is true; traffic in Austin is worse than the traffic […]
There’re motherf’in blogs on this motherf’in plane! I got the entire row of seats to myself this morning on a flight from Austin to LA, so I decided to write a bit. Being on this high-flying job for about two weeks now, its time for me to throw down some opinions/observations/recommendations regarding my in-flight experience.

Like clockwork, the NFL never fails to show its ignorance during the first few weeks of the off-season. Of course, I’m talking about the Pro Bowl. Its hard to watch a bunch of men playing a meaningless game of football while trying to avoid injury. Unfortunately, they don’t always succeed; Drew Brees […]
