  • Get it first, then get it right.

    I was driving home today and I saw a homeless man on the side of the road. There was nothing terribly special about this guy, he looked scrubby, he was standing where homeless people often do, and he had the obligatory cardboard sign that requested food and funds. In fact, it was his sign that…

  • Man, what a crazy world we live in.

    Wow, what a night. Some guy with a gun took his seven year old son hostage over a domestic dispute which ended up causing the police to close off a ten block area. Two cars and a motorcycle got into a crash which killed at least one person so far. There was an E. coli…

  • All I wanted was a smoothie…

    There’s a stuttering clinic at EWU that takes place during the summer. Supposedly it’s the only one of its kind in the United States. One of the things the people who enroll in this clinic have to do is approach a complete stranger and talk to them. Yesterday, one of them approached me. It was…

I’m very pleased with the sight. In the twelve months that the site has existed, I’ve taken over 600…

    No matter how hard you try, you can never escape your past.

  • Of Apples And Stupid People

    Have you seen the new apple ads? They’re trying to get people to switch from using PCs to using MACs. What the hell? They’re not that great for normal applications, folks. And PCs aren’t that difficult to use, either. I think the people they have on these ads are the same people from the infomercials…

  • Why Educational Television Isn’t That Bad After All

    Remember how I went and checked out the C-SPAN School Bus? Well, while I was there I gave the guys my e-mail and website addresses. They checked out my page the other day and looked at 7 pages, staying just over 16 minutes. So that’s cool.

  • Why Educational Television Is Bad For You

    The trouble with the History channel is that it’s so damn interesting. I don’t want to go to sleep!
