  • The New Yorker Caption Contest.

    The other day I was flipping through our weekly New Yorker when I discovered that they had a weekly caption contest. I mentally recorded the comic, and within a few seconds, I had decided on a caption. This is the comic: My caption: You don’t emit squiggly lines, do you? After running it by Tobyjoe,…

  • Chicago Prohibits Foie Gras

    Yay Chicago! Foie gras is produced by force-feeding grain to ducks and geese several times a day through a pipe inserted into their throats, causing their livers to expand. Someone I work with said, “Yeah, but is that really painful?” Hopefully, New York will follow. I’d love to see veal outlawed as well. Read more…

  • Flickr, mihow.com, and Scarlett Johansson

    OK, so there are a few things I’d like to talk about today. First, I’m going to talk about Flickr. Then, I’ll bring up my pictures. Finally, I’ll talk about Scarlett Johansson and how she’s in my foyer again. I like Flickr. I really do. At first, I wasn’t super keen on it. I remember…

  • The Judge, the Jury, and the Executioner.

    Let me begin by saying that I’m against the death penalty. I don’t believe that the state has the right to take someone’s life. It’s also not a foolproof method. Time and time again, we have executed innocent people. If you don’t believe me, try picking up a copy of Deadline some time. It’s frightening…

  • Thank You For Smoking

    Years ago, I watched a man named Chad convince his best friend, Matt, to make a deaf woman fall in love with him. The plan was to have her fall head-over-heels and then leave her broken hearted. She did fall in love with Matt. And even though he fell in love with her as well,…

  • Day Two With The Nikon D200

    I haven’t ever had much luck with digital cameras. I either had trouble with the color, the quality of the images (sharpness, etc), or the speed at which the camera was able to capture them. No camera I used seemed to capture the look of film and I grew up using only film. I tried…

  • No More Cursing!

    I am trying to give up swearing. I have decided that it sounds awful. (No offense to anyone who swears, I do too.) It really sounds awful especially to those who overhear it. This morning there was a teenage boy on the L Train letting them rip like audible face farts. It was early. He…
