Why on earth did God decide to put two starkly contrasting things together like cheerleaders and the cheers that they cheer? Cheerleaders are usually pretty hot, and the cheers they do are usually pretty annoying. It’s one of the stranger pardoxes in the universe. Company 81, a clothing company, has given access to their clothing…
Being a Man: Ride to Destruction
Before you get up in my face with the name-calling and chauvinist comments, I’m in no way saying that women don’t enjoy danger and nearly killing themselves doing stupidly awesome things. I do know that there is some primal part of me that gets excited thinking about jumping off of stuff and blowing things up.…
Entrepreneurs: Custom Plastic Shopping Bags
Is your new business some sort of retail store? Do you interact with customers directly and in person? Or maybe you do online or mail-order sales and you need plastic bags for wrapping up goods to mail to customers?

If I Could Turn Back Time
If I could turn back time, I’d probably turn it back to this morning, when I was still in bed. Then I’d like to freeze it there, so I could enjoy my sleepy-time antics for a long, long time. But alas, I cannot – despite the musical pleadings of Cher. Speaking of Cher – she’s…

Call Your Mother Before I Do
I think people don’t call home to their parents enough. I’m not a parent, but I think once I have kids and they move out, I’m darn well going to want to hear from them. I think my generation is fairly bad for this kind of thing. We are so caught up in our own…

My Big Fat Greek Campus
I’ve mentioned before that my day job is at one of the University of North Carolina schools as a Help Desk Analyst. Working on a college campus is fun and at times has it’s advantages. For one thing, a lot of the university’s resources (such as the library and media labs) are available to faculty…
Find Your Next Car on eBay Motors
Almost a decade ago, an internet company changed the way people do things online and probably provided one of the biggest boons to internet commerce in history. EBay, Inc. has the right to call itself one of the world’s biggest online marketplaces. Nearly everyone I know has either bought something or sold something on EBay…
