A random chat with a coworker

As a lot of hi-tech companies do, we also communicate via chat. After you’ve been chatting with people for more than a year,  and are friendly with them, you tend to derail the technical conversation into weirdness. Here’s the tail-end of one such conversation that I had this morning. I have no idea where this [...]

Continued pain

So to some that have followed my bodily harm escapades, here’s another one for the record. Yesterday, walking to the train with a couple of coworkers, I spent some time chatting with one more than the other. This guy has a hearing problem, so he reads lips, so I turned my head 90 degrees so [...]

A Secret Improv Mission

A little while ago I participated in another wonderful secret mission with Improv Everywhere. We all got together and made a difference. You can read the full article, and all the details along with stills here.

I just finished watching my DVR’ed episode of the Battlestar Galactica two hour finale. To those of you who watch the show regularly, this will not come as a surprise. This episodic saga is quite the amazing drama, which kind of happens to take place in space. But that fact doesn’t make it purely a [...]

Is this good or bad?

I was playing around with OkCupid’s site, taking some test and stuff, and came up with this: The Boy Next Door Random Gentle Love Dreamer (RGLD) Kind, yearning, playful, you are The Boy Next Door. You’re looking for real Love, a lot like girls do. It might not be manly, but it’s sweet. We think [...]

You can’t do THAT on TV!

So last night I was watching late night television on Comedy central, and after midnight they run ads for Girls Gone Wild. The ads show scenes out of their DVDs, showing girls is a variety of locations, “going wild”. Let’s clarify this – “going wild” seems to be lifting their shirts to expose their breasts [...]

The day my Xbox died

So today I’m hanging around home, and figured I’d geek out a bit and play around with my home entertainment setup. I have a Samsung 42″ plasma TV, great picture, connected via HDMI to my TimeWarnerCable HD-DVR box. Also connected is my Xbox 360, via component, and I typically use that (when not playing games) [...]

The Arrested Meme

From my good pal joshbrown If you saw me in the back of a police car, what would you think I was there for? Answer me, then post this in your own journal (or not) to see how many different crimes you get accused of committing.

Vote for me! Or don’t, it doesn’t matter.

So today was election day in the US of A. As a good citizen, I had previously registered to vote at the DMV last year, and today I went to my designated poll to cast my vote, alongside many others. In the past, my votes have all been absentee ballots, sent in from Israel, and [...]

Trying to catch up

So sometimes I get so busy that I don’t take the time to get thigns done – check my emails, follow up with some projects, and read my mail. Right now, my inbox has over one hundred unread emails, so if yours is in there, sorry. I’m going to try to sit down and clear [...]
