I’ve been sick since Thursday. It started off as a sore throat that got worse throughout the day. I hardly slept Thursday night and by Friday morning, it was clear that I would be not only useless at work, but also carry a high risk of infecting other people. Morah took me to the clinic…

Dear Media, On behalf of the blogosphere, thank you for your concern for the safety of America’s youth, and your constant, unending vilification of the popular social networking website MySpace. As we all know (thanks to you), devious pedophiles trawl MySpace for minors and lure them into their sexual traps. They often pose as teenagers…

Well, this is it! Version 5 of A Life Less Ordinary has officially launched. I hope you’re as excited about the new layout as I am. A few notes about the updates: New mastheads! Every once in a while, I’ll put up a new masthead, a la Dooce. This is something I’ve wanted to do…

Several months ago, I started coming up with concepts for what the next version of this site should look like. While Version 5 isn’t quite ready to launch, it’s getting close and there are some exciting changes on the way. That having been said, I am actively working on it and weird things may happen…

This album rocks! I can’t stop listening to it. I wish everyone at work were out today so that I could crank the speakers…

What is it about Microsoft Word that people love so much? At the place we don’t blog about, there are people who do everything in Word. I’m not kidding, even if they’re just going to copy and paste the text into something else (for example, a form on a website), they’ll compose the text in…

You know that new Mac ad where PC is upgrading to Vista? At the end, Mac says, “Speaking of peripherals…” Can someone explain to me what that line is supposed to mean? I’ve watched the spot several times and I just don’t get it.

Click here to watch the video of Saddam Hussein being executed. First off, I’ll freely admit that the only reason I’m writing about this is because it’s something a lot of people are searching for on Google. So, with that out of the way… The video was purportedly shot on a cell phone and that…

As the year rolls over, it’s once again time to reflect on the previous year’s resolutions and see how well I did, then state new resolutions for this year. Eat right – Remember that life change I was talking about? I actually did pretty well this year. I did I bunch of research and learned…
