I said a while back I wouldn’t put forth any clearly political blog posts… well, I’ve turned hypocrite (or maybe liar, at least) and have decided to renig on that promise. Today I sent an emailed Letter to the Editor at the newspaper in the town where my job is, because the town where I…
Eat, Drink, or Die: Thomas McMuffin
Today while surfing around the intertubes at work, I found this awesome web site – it’s like Food Network meets Video Blogging. They have regular chefs and shows, just like any other cooking network, but the hosts are awesome and the food they make isn’t always something fancy. Case in point: my favorite simple recipe…
Save Money Buying Your Glasses Online
It’s a pretty big stereotype that a lot of geeks wear glasses. Well, count me in – I usually don’t wear mine during the day, I have contact lenses that suit me just fine. But my glasses were chosen on purpose: they are cheap, plastic crappy frames and cheap, plastic, crappy lenses with no add-ons…
Vampire Mode: Activate
It’s that time of year again – it’s starting to get chillier during the day and freezing cold at night. The leaves are turning colors, and the jerks from Florida are up in the mountains driving 10 under so they can look at the foliage. Shorts are becoming more and more inappropriate apparel for the…
Truth in Advertising: Signs Placed at Gas Stations by Artists
I found this video on Digg today, about artists as part of a project posted signs up at gas stations that appear to be from the corporation that owns each chain. I thought it was hilarious and inciteful. But it’s another reason we don’t need the next president giving tax cuts to big business, even…

Also, be sure to request your absentee ballots if you’re away from home for now. Not sure who to vote for? Don’t take mine…
Bills.com Offers Free Debt Consolidation Information
Today’s economy, at least here in the United State, is an unstable one. The trouble on Wall Street, the fuel shortages and price hikes, everything is directly affecting the prices we pay at checkout for the things that we buy. For those of you with debt, this is making a time of economic hardship even…
My First Haircut Since February
My hair was starting to get long and shaggy, it’s not accurately represented by the left photo, that was just the best one I could find. I decided finally last night that it was about time to have it cut again. It’s amazing how refreshing it is to have your hair so short after letting…
Choose Your Own Adventure
You are walking down a dark cooridor, and you notice there are several doors. You walk forward towards the end of the hall, but you fall through a trap door. Landing with a thud on a hardwood floor below, you look up to notice an old hag before you. She identifies herself as a witch,…
News and Updates
It’s been a rough couple of days. I’ve been sick, like – feel like I got hit by a truck sick. It knocked me out pretty hard yesterday, and I’m back at work today even though I probably shouldn’t be. In tech news, Google released their new web browser (in beta, of course) called Google…
