I have a problem lasting through multiple seasons of a reality show. Survivor? Yeah, I got bored with it when they started their second season. The Real World? I was able to watch New York, San Francisco, London and Miami and then I burned out on it. After the first season of American Idol I […]

It seems like an eternity has passed since Tobey died in our home. Since then we’ve run the gauntlet of emotions. For the most part we’ve come to accept that our puppy is gone and, due to his medical conditions, it was probably for the best. Last week he finally came home to us. His […]

The pain of losing my little giant, Tobey, is at times overwhelming. He was our baby, the most inncocent and ‘pure’ dog in our family. He had the face and personality of a clown, constantly smiling and laughing and always looking lovingly at Angela. He was her little boy, brought into this house when he […]

As I write this, it has only been an hour or two since Angela and I came home from the emergency vet. We had brought Tobey there as he passed away this morning. I’ll fill in the gaps soon. I just wanted to get a few things out of my head. Angela & I don’t […]

Just a very, very brief heads up: I’m still alive and kicking. Coincidentally, I’m also still pretty lazy when it comes to updating my sites/blogs. It is akin to drinking a big old glass of apathy. I’m off this week and I’ll start to get back into the swing of things…for both of you readers […]

I’m reconsidering my plans to take over the world through inconspicuous means. I think that I might be able to do it using cats.

Poor Tobey. The big/little guy just can’t seem to get a break. First he gets hit with some mysterious auto-immune disease that they still haven’t been able to diagnose. He winds up having to take prednisone for the past 6 months. Second, the prednisone is known to weaken the muscles via atrophy. The result? Toby […]

It has been just over a year since I last spoke with my friend Martin. It has also been just over a year since he passed away. It is still hard to fathom that he’s no longer here. Martin & I became friends in North Carolina. We shared an office together and became really good […]

This morning I heard that MTv, a Viacom owned company, has recently created http://www.mtvmusic.com/, a site completely dedicated to music videos. After about a minute of thinking ‘Oh, that’s cool.’ I started thinking how ironic it is that I was amazed that create such a thing. Go figure. MTv put out a music video site. […]

Thisi is a very quick update at just before 6:30am. Why? Because, for the life of me, if I don’t find the time to do this then I never will. I always used to think that only really old people were awake really early in the morning. It was funny because I thought that when […]

Even though Matt & I no longer work together, we still remain good friends. So good, in fact, that we’re going play a drinking game to tonight’s VP Debate. Just in case anyone wants to play along, I’m posting our rules here (the same ones I posted at thatsjustnotright.com Oh, boy. I have my bottle […]

Whoops! Forgot to pay our bill!

I have been sitting here, in front of my computer, for most of the day. Oh, sure, I’ve driven to work and back and played with the dogs. But I am slave to my computer. My game systems. My iPhone. Anything with a glowing screen and buttons. It has come to a point where I’ve […]

A few weeks ago, Angela and I were at a dally dinner thrown by my sister. We had somehow stumbled ok the topic of my brother-in-law’s sister appearing in a newspaper article in the Washington Post Magazine. Stephanie have been set up on a date through an experiment known as the “Date Lab”. Essentially, this […]

This is the first time in a long time that I’ve taken an interest in the Presidential elections. The other night I went out to pick up Angela from the airport and I was completely transfixed by the events of the Democratic National Convention. From Richardson’s inflamatory speech to the droning of Al Gore, I […]

Man, I hate driving. I mean, I REALLY hate driving. Driving from Sterling to Rosslyn/DC is no small feat, neither. As stated in a past post my commute is about an hour and a half each way. During rush hour. It comes as absolutely no surprise that during this period you’ll meet people that you […]

One. WHAT?! I just wanted to get that out of the way before someone got the gumption to ask me. I’d refer you to my staff but my Communications Director (Angela) is off on a campaign in Alabama until next week and that leaves my advisors, which is composed of 3 dogs and 1 fat […]

A lot of people know that, sometimes, I can have some pretty goofy quirks. Some people think I’m just plain looney. I, dear readers, appeal to your sense of propriety and fashion. I throw my self upon the mercy of the court of public record and leave it up to you to decide whether or […]

Video gamers summarily say that they love EA (Electronic Arts) and despise EA. A lot of times it is due to the fear that they’ll purchase every other video game developer out there and then churn out crap. Personally? I don’t know if I care that much right now. I’m tired of playing the Madden […]

Oh, Holy cow. If you haven’t seen this, please do. Absolutely amazing. Using Photographs to Enhance Videos of a Static Scene from pro on Vimeo. Honestly, this type of stuff blows my mind. I am both fascinated and, to be honest, a little scared of this type of video technology and editing. Seriously, it is […]

Here are a few images from the Redskins Ride car show that Angela and I went to today. Pretty interesting seeing some of the cars that the professional football players drive. Lots of Lotus, Ferrari, Lambourghini, Maserati and classic muscle cars in attendance.

Ouch. Right now, that’s all I can think of this morning. I had gone out with my friend Queltor last night and my body is starting to feel the effects of it. Let’s face it, folks: I ain’t no Spring chicken anymore. Which is fine. Angela knows where I’d be (drunk downtown). If the situation […]

I have a small problem that I may be blowing out of proportion. See, I’ve turned into a grumpy old fart but I still like to think that I have an open mind and I’m pretty liberal. Recently, though, I’ve hit a brick wall and it involves my 13 year old niece. I was at […]

I was at home this weekend with Angela trying to sort out my media collection on our network. Wow. We’ve got quite a collection of…uh…stuff. It was a nice stroll down memory lane going through some of this. Especially when I hit the movie “Hackers”. It was interesting reliving some of the techno babble of […]

I’ve just started using this WordPress App for the iPhone and I think it is the bees knees. Previously, I would have either set up the blogs the I write for to accept posts by email or I would have to use the phone’s web browser. Using the browser was always a little bit of […]

Wow. I’m currently sitting here at my home office at around 10:30pm. Just as a heads up – I’m posting this from an iPhone app that I downloaded from Apple’s App Store. I think it is pretty amazing that I could do this using this interface. It saves a ton of transmission problems More soon! […]

In the anime Naruto there is a taijutsu technique known as the Sennen Goroshi (1000 Years of Pain). Yes, the little boy’s mentor, Kakashi, pokes him in the patoot. A number of years later, after Naruto returns from training with another mentor, he tries to return the favor Oddly enough (or maybe not so odd), […]
