Of all the people… I just… brain… shutting down. Why on EARTH would Oprah’s puppet Dr. Phil McGraw visit mentally and musically ill Britney Spears after her traumatic breakdown the other day? Apparently the good doctor dropped in as she had already been discharged after a clean toxicology screen and was packing to go home.…
I Want You to Take His Face… Off
No, no, I’m not strung out on drugs and wearing Nicolas Cage’s face. I certainly have not gone undercover as the malevolent Caster Troy. And under no circumstances will I be singing Elvis tunes while John Travolta shoots me with a spear gun. But I have most certainly not been feeling like myself lately. I…
MobileTalk Packet8 International VOIP on Your Cell Phone
MobileTalk is a new technology from VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) and internet telephony company Packet8 that allows you to make VOIP calls internationally from anywhere in the United States at severely reduced rates. I have entered the MobileTalk Packet8 video contest, and created a brief video (yes, it’s on YouTube) to submit to the…
I am Pregnant (With Thoughts)
There are a lot of things on my mind these days. My priorities seem to shift throughout the day. My hot water pipe seems to have frozen entirely so that no hot water passes through my house. I fear that until the weather warms up it may not unfreeze. I left water running slightly, but…
Now: Sunny, 9 Degrees Farenheit
I just looked down at my ForecastFox Firefox extension, and it says just that, “Now: Sunny, 9 Degrees F.” It’s 9, people! 9! I’m not from the North, nor am I originally from the mountains. When I left my parents’ house on Monday, it was 20 degrees warmer there at around 60 F, so about…

On December 18th, FOX news asked 21 questions about Mormonism which were replied to but not fully answered. A friend of mine’s brother posted a link on Facebook to this blog which attempts to clear up the answers. Whether or not these answers are clearly rooted in whatever is considered the actual doctrine of the…
Resident Evil: Degeneration
So the next movie in the line of “Resident Evil” films is going to be called “Resident Evil: Degeneration” and is going to be entirely done in CG. Fans of the video game will delight in seeing characters more closely resemble the in-game characters, rather than trying to find actors that are similar looking. A…
No Longer Cool
So for the last few years, I’ve noticed a trend: I’m no longer cool. I wasn’t all that cool to begin with – I preferred to be cool in a different way, by being a geek. Last night I was online trying to finish up an eBay transaction with a customer over the phone, and…
UNC CAUSE – Day 2
We’re back in Asheville on Day Two of the UNC CAUSE conference. We arrived late because there was pretty much zero parking available. We “invented” a space out of a partial space near a grassy median and the median itself. Good thing we were in the state-owned mini-van when we did that. Morning breakfast was…
Be Prepared… For Zombies
That’s right. It could happen one day. The way we play around with science and nature so casually. We’re eventually going to make zombies. And when that happens, you better believe the currency system is going to straight nose-dive into the ground. You may have thousands or millions of dollars locked away in an off-shore…
