With all this talk about going to war with Iraq, it makes me wonder, “Aren’t we already there?” We’ve been flying over Iraq dropping bombs on things for eleven years, enforcing the no-fly zones. They’ve been under U.N. economic sanctions for over a decade. Another way to state the question, “Did the Gulf War actually […]

How Easily We Forget
How did I forget what an amazing album Radiohead‘s Amnesiac is? I know I’ve been posting a lot of music stuff lately, but there just isn’t really much else to talk about. I’m still not used to being back to work. I’m on my vacation bedtime (after 11:30pm, before 3am), but on my work wake-up […]
I Was Right… Well, Halfway
I was right yesterday. The music from the new Nissan “Line” commercials is from a song off the new Chemical Brothers album. It’s the first chorus from the song Hoops.
TalkBack… Or Not
You know what I love ZDNet’s TalkBack feature? It doesn’t matter what the article, the rhetoric is the same. Every single article seems to break down into the same argument. I just couldn’t resist this one though: News: Xbox goes online… with Linux
I Have Tickets!!
I have two tickets to see The Daily Show‘s first DC show in October!! How cool is that?
Another Commercial Song
That song from the Levi’s commercial where the guy dives back in the harbor after his English/French dictionary is called Playground Love by Air. It’s available on the Virgin Suicides soundtrack. Oh, and what does the girl say to him in French after he gets out of the water? “What did you forget?” Am I […]
Batman Could Do That?
Today’s diesel sweeties is amazing. It reminds me of all those stupid discussions my brother and I had as kids about who could beat up who and under what conditions.
Busted!!
We got caught! I don’t believe it. Jen and I were taking the trash out last night (it was after 10pm) and cleaning up Max’s sidewalk chalk mess. She kissed me, I kissed her and before you know it, here comes a lady from down the street with her little barrel dog. Jen yelled “Ooops!”, […]
Oh My, He’s Gone Native!
I still have my vacation beard. My face is now covered in shrubbery. It’s been almost two weeks since I shaved, and the beard is getting pretty full. Why do I still have in on my third day back to work? It’s embarrassing to say, but I’m scared. Cutting it off means standing in front […]
Look Ma, No Tears!
Do you know why I love reading Michael Brown’s blog? It’s stories like these. His son (well, his oldest son) is a couple years older than Max, and Michael’s writing gives me a nice “in the near future” glimpse at what I’m in for. He’s way up there on my daily reading list (even though […]
