Isolated Public Idleness

Travelling through airports and subways over the past year or so has given me exposure to a new state of people’s time and behavior. I like to call that state “isolated public idleness”. Its that state that people are in while waiting for a plane or standing around for a train. Its […]

Bose QuietComfort, Audio-Technica ATH-A900, and Grado SR60: Tale of Three Headphones

You can’t blame me, I was a confused young man who lost the only headphones he ever loved. It was a reaction to a situation that I couldn’t handle. But if I could do it all over again, I would have done the same thing.
Two weeks ago I broke my Grado SR60s. […]

Knight Rider’s Back

I’m psyched. I can’t believe its happening, someone actually decided to revive Knight Rider and make a motion picture about Michael Knight. Up until now, Knight Rider has been a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a movie that does not exist. But that’s gonna change now.
Miramax, a loner moviehouse on […]

Sloppy Paperwork Reponse

For those of you who follow this blog religiously, you may remember an old entry of mine that dealt with the ugly redundency involved with filing paperwork.  It focused on the repetitive time-wasting nature of entering your personal information on every form just because it was going to different people.

Flyers Hit The Gas at the Right Time

For all you ladies out there, imagine your excitement when you are offered a free makeover or a free visit to a salon.  I’m sure you females make those ‘wooo’ noises, and brush each others hair…or do whatever it is that you do when you get excited.  Sports fans are given two such days during […]

How Jodie Sweetin Got Her Groove Back

Its been a tumultuous fall from grace for the once beloved Jodie Sweetin. If you don’t recognize the name, you probably only know her as Stephanie Tanner from the family sitcom Full House. What you may not know is that after she left the show, went to school, and got married, she hit the methamphetamines […]

Trenton Makes, the World Takes

For the first two years of my professional career, I worked at the State of New Jersey as a software developer.  When I was hired, I wasn’t much of a professional.  I lacked skills, experience, and above all, confidence.  The hire came after a demoralizing eight month job hunt.  The only thing that I had going […]

Its Better to Exchange than to Receive

I rarely buy people gifts during the holidays.  Its not that I don’t want to buy gifts, but I don’t want to prioritize my gift recipients.  It is not possible to convince others limit their gift recipients to the people closest to them, because that just hurts the feelings of the people who are right […]

Keeping Iverson

The 76ers are the best sports team that Philadelphia has right now, and in a few short weeks I believe that the NBA world will be calling them the surprise team of the year. How did this happen? Last season ended in failure and turmoil when the team failed to make the playoffs. […]

Dealing with Stray Cats

We recently had some self-invited visitors at the Wellington Estate. If you can read this, trust me, I’m not talking about you. A small family of black cats took up residence under our shed. At one point there were four cats, one mother and three kids. This begs the question, where […]
