Holy moley! You can’t go wrong with 2008 Tai Chi masters in a sychronized routine!!! #
Is it just funny to me that they have “tremendous national pride” having just gotten some astronauts in space a couple of years ago? #
I’ll bet the Bejing Olympics fireworks blow Disney World away! #
…they sure do! #

No Polluter Commuter!

Friday, June 20th, 2008

I’m not much of an activist, but I have taken action in support of our environment.  As of this past Monday, I began what I hope to be a consistent plan to reduce my gas consumption, reduce mileage on my car, and increase my fitness level.  I am currently riding a bicycle for the most [...]

The Guerrilla Tipster

Friday, October 26th, 2007

The Guerrilla Tipster invokes his mighty right, passed down by the hands of the gods, to assert wisdom upon the unwitting.
Today I find the signature of the Guerrilla Tipster upon the windshield of a car in the Barnes and Noble parking lot of Duluth:
LEARN HOW TO PARK DUMB SHIT!!
The words are poignant. I only [...]

*@%! Road Trash

Friday, October 19th, 2007

I’m driving to work this morning, minding my own business, when I notice a monstrous bag skulking across the road. It’s one of those clear cellophane bags; the kind you get at the grocery store to hold your vegetables, only this one can probably hold the whole “Fresh Foods” section. Likely a furniture [...]

A Surreal Morning

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

Monday morning I began my day like many others. It was the first day of school for many, and it was the beginning of the work week for me. I also managed to get out the door in record time (related) that morning; the sun was just creeping up above the horizon as [...]

I Wish I Bought Electric

Thursday, September 1st, 2005

Gas is out of control. I’m waiting for siphoners and car-jackers to rise into the norm. I told my wife to be wary of how she leaves her car in order that she not create an easy target. She locked my car doors for me last night at the house. It’s [...]

Omnifi is Here!

Friday, March 11th, 2005

I got my Omnifi bundle today from woot.com. I was so eager to get into it that I immediately opened the box and grabbed the documentation to begin reading. I knew I wouldn’t have a chance to play with the parts until much later, so I figured this would satisfy me. This [...]

Über-Aggressive Lemmings

Saturday, December 11th, 2004

Those of you who know me, know that I’m a very tolerant guy.  There are, however, a few things that I just despise.
On my way home last night, I encountered the most loathsome of my pet-peeves (maybe not the most, but at the time it was).  Having driven through stormy weather from work, I was [...]

Commuter Blues (Cont.)

Thursday, September 9th, 2004

So I didn’t actually get up in time to be at work at 6:00am the other day. I missed my ride and had to drive myself through annoying traffic. However, I was able to comprehend the alarm clock this morning and proceeded to get up and begin my morning duties. The drive [...]

Commuter Blues

Tuesday, September 7th, 2004

For those of you who commute, this is an all too familiar problem to you. It took me slightly more than two hours to get to work this morning. This is ridiculous, perhaps not to some, but to me. It’s only thirty-seven miles from my doorstep to my chair, and it takes [...]
