There is a game out there right now that challenges you, Mr. and Mrs. Adult with questions any fifth grader should know. The game is quite adamant about the fifth grader thing, if you fail then your average 10-11 year old is smarter than you.
Seeing this commercial I thought, wow, USA Today is using [...]
I love Paste magazine. I have said it before, you will hear it again. Paste is about good music. Not top 40 music, though some of the stuff they like hits the top 40. Not indie-band-only-stuff full of unwashed hair and dented minivans with too many miles on them, though many [...]
These are the 2 samples of headlines I came across yesterday that I thought were interesting; “Dow Jones tanks, dropping 300+ points!” and “Dow Jones has second worse drop all year.”

Sometime this weekend a couple of walking piles of shit invaded a home in Connecticut, robbed it, killed the occupants and then set the house on fire. They were caught later.
I learned this depressing piece of news while listening to the AM morning news show on my drive into work. The two commentators expressed [...]
I wanted to post a comment on Purv’s site but for some reason was unable to do so. I felt his post was a moving tale of how business has become these days. The middle-men, the grunts, the ground-pounders, the reservoir from which management is drawn from is drying up across many [...]

I had all these weird stress related symptoms, from headaches, high blood pressure, weird speech patterns, panic attacks, to a creeping sense that I was just being crushed. Of course I ran [...]
I tried to avoid mundane day to day activity posts, but this is different. My store was struck by lightning, approximately 15 feet from me. It sounded like a jet engine fell off an airliner and landed on my roof. The lightning hit a metal plate somehow related to my roof assembly [...]
A producer for one of those home make-over shows called a local conservative talk show today to express some irritation. This producer had recently been involved with a home make-over in the Tampa area. The show had collected a bunch of entries for poor and underprivileged homes that might benefit from a make-over.

I just finished playing ‘death-match’ with a bunch of guys spread throughout the country. For those of you who do not know what I mean, I played a computer game with great realistic graphics in which the goal is to kill your opponent with whatever weapon you can grab (they are sprinkled throughout the [...]
