A Complete Shift in My Media Consumption

Comments Off

I think we all saw this coming. How long could I sustain so much intake of technology articles and independent YouTube videos and cute cat videos and Tumblr GIFs? My first blog was published in 1999. I get emails from young guys who read this blog with birthdays in ’99. I’m an old-timer and I just can’t [...]

0 comments

On Sunday the 8th, I had dinner with my girlfriend and that was my plan for the last solid foods until today, the 16th. The 8 day fast became a 6 day fast which is disappointing but I was invited to an event where the food being served was simply unavoidable. I’ll write more about [...]

Brief Reflections

Comments Off

My neighbors have spent their evening watching classics like Stripes, The Big Lebowski and Office Space. These are great movies but this is the 3rd week in a row that it’s midnight and I’m trying to sleep while classics blast next door and it’s the 10th night in a row that the smell of marijuana [...]

I’m a slow reader so it’s a fear of mine that I’m the last Apple fan to complete the biography of Steve Jobs which was delivered to me via Kindle on its release date. Part of me is certain that many of us who didn’t think twice about buying the book didn’t actually read it [...]

Why did I wait to long to get performance tires for my car?

Comments Off

The Internet is LOADED with tons of resources about tires and what you need to buy for your car. Most tire sources online are only leading you to make a purchase and not really helpful.

A Healthy Life – Part One

I wasn’t going to talk about the details of my new regiment. I’m far too busy to discuss details but I am excited about my recent progress and changes. I’m happy to be 30 pounds lighter. I’m happy to be healthier and to have more energy and to get sick after eating anything that shouldn’t [...]

Three Minutes

“Sir, this will probably take three minutes to make. Are you sure you still want it?” I’ve heard this question for the third time in the last seven days. I should start asking, “is this typically a long time to wait for a cup of coffee? At home, it takes 10 minutes to get a [...]

The Burning House

Comments Off

I Love This Blog…sometimes. It’s interesting but c’mon people. Your house is burning down and bring a belt, burrito and cat? You’d bring your child hood doll and stamp collection? Maybe I’m not the sympathetic type. Maybe I’m not attached to things like some people but if my house is burning down, I’d grab two [...]
