The Red Queen is blogging, though I can’t actually link to her blog quite yet. Apparently, my shameless pursuit of attention hasn’t rubbed off on her anywhere near as much as I had anticipated. I built the blog for her almost a year and a half ago because she would come home from work with … Read more
And the number ONE weird thing about me (continuing the post detailing 7 weird things about me): The human hand has 27 bones counting the bones in the wrist (there are 8 of those). Not counting the wrist, I have broken 17 of the remaining 19 bones in each hand. I have broken some of … Read more
My friend Benja Iglesis has started a blog. In and of itself it wouldn’t be of much interest, but the guy has been all over the world shooting some amazing photographs. He seems to always be at the right place at the right time to capture some amazing things… Aside from being a great photographer, … Read more
I am a student of human nature. When I am forced to be in a large group, I tend to skirt the perimeter, taking note of how people interact, what they say, how they communicate… Some might call this people watching, but to me, its cramming for a final exam that I live every day. … Read more

I’m up way too late and this is the reason why. See what happens when random strangers post comments on my blog? I dig in deep trying to figure out what they’re all about by reading their archived posts. This particular chap has not only a gift for storytelling, but has the stories to tell. … Read more
The ever lovely Ursula of Ursala’s Not So Secret History pointed out that the IRS is offering tax payers a bevy of FREE tax preparation and filing options. There are a number of companies (from H&R Block to TurboTax) offering free online tax preparation and filing based on income (more than $X, less than $X) … Read more
None of my favorite blog reads is posting much lately. It seems they all have left for 4 day weekends. Bastards… you better have interesting posts when you return!
