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 […]

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 […]

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.

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! […]

Angela and I went to the supermarket today and I saw what I though was the coolest thing: That’s right! Bread in the form of a snake! Oh, man! THAT IS SO FRIGGIN’ NEAT! I know, I know…it is just dough which has been made into an “S-curve” with the top part of the dough […]

July 5th. Yeah, it falls after July 4th, the United States of America’s birthday. You would think that i would have something better to do on the morning after, such as nurse a red, white and blue hang over, but no. I was hanging out early in the morning scouring the news and trying to […]

I was sitting at my desk yesterday, trying to quietly doze off to my mid-morning nap (not to be confused with my planned siesta nor pre-departure slumber) when my co-worker, Matt, sends me an email with a link in it. I thought nothing of it since we try to keep each other in the loop […]

You know, I used to work in offices that were similar to this. It was a grand old time, full of energy, creativity, fun and productive people. It seems like it was so long ago. The Great Office War Yeah, I need to find a similar environment to be in.

We’re off to Arlington to see dad today. It is Father’s Day, my second one without him. It hasn’t gotten any easier trying to cope with this. All week long I’ve felt myself starting to well up to cry whenever I think about it. I’ve been jealous of all the people wishing other’s Happy Fathers […]

I am, for all intents and purposes, merely mortal. A mortal composed of flesh and bone and blood; dripping with an abundance of life and emotions – hopes and dreams and tons of other stuff that I’m sure people smarter and more eloquent could articulate much better than slovenly old me. Keeping this in mind, […]

I remember listening to NPR last year while I was in North Carolina. There was a report that the siesta was going the way of the Dodo bird. How much does that suck?! I was sitting at my desk today thinking that I could have absolutely relished having a nap in the middle of the […]

Turkish Star Wars You can look it up on YouTube for even better highlights (with music rip offs and training montages!) Turkish Rambo See, kids. This is why you should always pick up after yourselves. Look at all those RPGs laying around! You wouldn’t want someone invading your super secret base and tearing it apart […]

Ok, kids. This post is going to seemingly swing from one end of the spectrum to the other. Some of you may find this boring, others might even consider it to be somewhat offensive. If you find it so, you have my utmost apologies. I was on break.com the other day and I caught the […]

Cheerleaders. Dance squads. What’s the difference? I don’t really know. Is it like that episode of Family Guy where Meg wants to be a cheerleader but they think she’s a complete gargoyle so she instead joins the flag corps? (btw, I should never have posted that UCLA cheerleader post during the NCAA tournament? Why? Because […]

I grab the following pictures from the Angie Everhart thread in the forum: Someone, ANYONE, answer me this – HOW THE FUCK DID JOE PESCI HOOK UP WITH THAT? After a nine month engagement Joe Pesci broke it off with Angie Everhart. And what did she do? She subsequently got herself busted for drunk driving […]
