Guys With Bald Heads and Facial Hair Always

Make me think of Wooly Willy. And if you are getting a slight Panic! at the Disco aftertaste from that title, it’s justified. They are coming to a small, local venue and I just bought my ticket. I’m determined to buy tickets as soon as I know about shows now because of the Black Keys […]

Awkward Photojournalism

One of the best things about having an iPhone, or any camera with a phone for that matter, is that it’s easy to take pictures of the crazy things you see in your day. It frequently saves me money as well, because I can just take pictures of stuff I think is cool rather than buying […]

Building a Castle on a Cloud

iCloud is the latest coolness from Apple and its first real foray into cloud computing. They have taken a few swings at this market with mobileme, .mac and iTools, but none of these apps were as robust or all-encompassing as iCloud. You get 5 GB of storage for free. The easiest way to explain cloud […]

Eyeball Surgery -Lasik

Note: This is a repost from an old blog of mine that I don’t really update anymore. I had used it mostly to post funny and interesting stuff that I found, but I really use Facebook, Twitter and more recently Google+ and Pinterest pretty heavily, so I’ve all but abandoned it. People have asked about […]

Daaaa Dum. Daaaa Dum. DaDum DaDum DaDum– Shark Week!!

UPDATE: There is a Shark Week Drinking Game It’s finally Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. Yay! Andy Samberg hosts. Double yay! I’m not sure why I look forward to this so much every year. I did come of age during the age of Peter Benchley’s book Jaws and the movie of the same name. […]

I Saw a Woman at Tim Horton’s Wearing Stealth Crocs

You know the ones I’m talking about. They look like sassy little flats, but they have that unmistakable Croc sponginess. Don’t do that. Don’t wear those. If you like Crocs, wear Crocs. Own  your love of their bulbous sponginess. Don’t try to hide behind non-Croc-shaped-Crocs. Be the Crocs. I tried Crocs on once, but the […]

Project Runway – Make it Work

Another season of Project Runway begins on Lifetime tonight. I still haven’t really gotten over it moving from Bravo. Lifetime doesn’t seem to handle it as well. For one thing, they don’t rerun the episodes enough. I do like that they go behind the scenes and introduce the models. Michael Kors, Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia […]

Twitter Feuds

Up until a couple of days ago I had no idea Twitter Feuds even existed and now two  (!)  have  come to light. The first is a feud between The Bloggess (Mother of Beyonce, the Giant Metal  Chicken) and William Shatner (Father of Space Travel and Discount Hotels). Apparently William Shatner refused her gracious dinner […]
