Just a reminder, the 2008 United States Presidential Election is Tuesday, November 4th, 2008. Make sure you are registered to vote 30 days before the election, or your vote doesn’t count. 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…
Set Your DVRs, History Hacker to Premiere Tonight
The History Channel continues to amaze me. What used to be a boring documentary channel is now appealing to younger and less history-obsessed audiences, making topics fun and interesting. In what should prove to be an exciting Mythbusters meets Historical Documentary series, History Hacker involves Bre Pettis of MAKE fame hacking together inventions out of…
Geeks Need Exercise, Too
In the technology sector where I work, it’s pretty common for people to forget to exercise. You live and breath computers and are stuck in front of a desk all day, and then go home at night and cook dinner, manage home things like cleaning or chores, and then all you want to do is…
Bills.com Offers Free Debt Consolidation Information
Today’s economy, at least here in the United State, is an unstable one.

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…

Lots of people have collections for hobbies. Some people collect postage, some collect Troll Dolls, Beanie Babies, Pokemon (Because let’s face it, you really DO have to catch them all), Yu-Gi-Oh! stuff, human remains, you know, the usual. A neat hobbie I’ve seen people do is collecting rubber stamps. You remember these as a kid,…

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…
Re-Entry is Rough: Rob & Big With the Assist
Due to some technical difficulties, Game Night ended up being movie night, at my place. Melissa got into my liquor cabinet and started mixing it up for my guests. It’s nice to have a bartender friend. When I get paid again, I’m going to get a shaker, jigger, and muddler so I have some more…
People on the Internet are Douchebags
This is my hypothesis for today: If you are on the internet and have the option to give input on a particular topic or expression of opinion anonymously, then you will probably do so, and be a douchebag about it. For example, a while back, I posted a blog titled “Top 10 Signs You’re a…
