  • Obama Override

    That was fast.

  • Hope Springs Eternal

    In 2000, I was disappointed Bush won the election. In 2004, I thought there was no way the citizens of this nation would reelect him. In 2008, we were offered a simple choice: continue with the same bullshit for another 4 years, or change our government in ways about which we could heretofore only dream.…

  • Digital vs. Analogue

    As you know, on February 17th, all analog television signals will be turned off in favor of digital. I know you know this, because if you’ve been alive and watching T.V. for the past year, you can’t miss the incessant running of PSAs trumpeting this new age of television broadcasting.

  • A New Job in the New Year

    Yesterday in my 2009 new year’s resolutions post, I alluded to, “some exciting things,” which will prevent me from building my business. The exciting thing is a new job. I spent just over a year with Kauffman & Associates, Inc., and although I really enjoyed the people and the company, the work wasn’t exactly what…

  • Resolutions for 2009

    This post is a little late, but in keeping with last year (and the year before that, and the year before that, all of which started in 2005), here’s a list of my resolutions for 2009, as well as a wrap-up on how I did in 2008. Eat right – This one has been with…

  • A Harrowing Journey Home

    Below is a story I meant to post about a little over a week ago. The snow was so bad that KAI closed early and Emily wasn’t sure the bus from Cheney would be running the next day. She asked to stay the night at our house so that she’d already be in town the…

  • Sleeping in Front of the Fire

    When we got home late last night, I noticed some weird things. First, the porch light was off, which I specifically turned on before we left because I knew it would be dark when we got home. I blamed it on the lousy timer switch (which I hate and can’t wait to replace), but when…

  • The Ham Pin, Smarty Pants Lies

    Last night Phoenix, Morah, and I were over at Mike and Emily’s apartment for an evening of dinner and playing the Wii. We started off bowling on Wii Sports, and while playing, I coined a new phrase that I hope quickly enters the lexicon of bowlers everywhere: the ham pin. We all know that 3…

  • Black Friday Death pt. 2

    Barry Leiba over at the always excellent Staring at Empty Pages put it far better than I did: The authorities should look, instead, to the ones who are really responsible for the crush in the first place: the store owners, and the retail industry in general. I’d like to see the store owners held responsible…

  • Black Friday Death

    I have always made my position on Black Friday clear, and a death at Wal-Mart yesterday further enforces my disgust for this unofficial holiday. From the article: “He was bum-rushed by 200 people,” co-worker Jimmy Overby, 43, told the Daily News. “They took the doors off the hinges. He was trampled and killed in front…
