A Tale About Truth and Stupidity.
When I was a kid and I told a lie or withheld something from my parents, even for a little while, my head would grow bigger and bigger and heavier and heavier until finally my lips would explode and a river of guilty words would spill out before me. I was bulimic with lies. These…

The Nikon D200 Under Low Light
(Please note: There are no links in the post below. We are still working on the link situation for PC readers. Should be fixed.) I was messing around with the Nikon D200. Tobyjoe is talking about buying a new digital SLR. (Nuts!) We’ve been discussing the pros and cons behind the Nikon D200 vs. the…

Links On a PC
OK, so there are issues with my (new-ish) Web site. Issues I never knew about before today. Apparently, some people aren’t seeing hyperlinks. For that, I am sorry. We’re working on the problem. But I must say this helps me to understand why no one seems to ever click the links here. Could it be…

Stumbling On Happiness
Michael Krasny conducted an absolutely wonderful (audio) interview on KQED with Dan Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness. (From Amazon. Written by Malcolm Gladwell) Stumbling on Happiness is a book about a very simple but powerful idea. What distinguishes us as human beings from other animals is our ability to predict the future – or…

Boating With Bob
On Saturday we went boating with Bob in New Jersey. We fished as well. We caught seaweed. It was awesome. Tobyjoe looked cool. I did not. But I did get to play with our bait. There are more here.

I’ve Got Big Ball
I want to be just like Tobyjoe so I went ahead and purchased one of these to sit on at work. Recently, I have had more and more morning back pain. It wakes me up every morning. Usually, the pain goes away after I get up and walk around. It makes sleeping in impossible. I’m…

Human Imperfection.
There is a fantastic article in the latest New Yorker called Central Casting. It talks about what some feel the Democrats need to do in order to win in 2008. I found the article to be extremely informative, almost uncomfortably so. It made me realize that I am guilty of thinking they way many people…

Don’t Ever Believe a Prick.
Nine days ago, I had my blood pressure checked, my cholesterol, and my glucous. I got back some pretty seemingly wildly inaccurate numbers. Today, I visited my GP to find out once and for all whether the rent-a-nurse was indeed smoking crack or if she was giving me correct numbers. I am A-OK. In fact,…

Corporate America Goes Postal.
The U.S. Postal Service is now allowing companies to design and print their own first-class stamps “We want to make mail more interesting to consumers.” (Joanne Veto. USPS Spokeswoman.) Joanne, I just don’t think this will do it. There are very few companies who, I believe, adhere to a decent looking brand and even fewer…

TMI? Too Bad.
About a month and a half ago, I started to load up on vitamins. Tobyjoe helped me to decide what to take, how often, why I should take them, and how many. I’ve been doing so diligently every day. (While we’re discussing schedules and sticking to them, I have flossed everyday since visiting the dentist…
