    Some of you might remember the “Cool Props” series I started this summer. I cracked up this morning when I discovered that two of the windows I took pictures of a few months back are without AC but the props remain. BEFORE: AFTER BEFORE: AFTER: They’re duct taped. Funny.

    I love how Microsoft is coming out with their new platform, Microsoft Vista, and they’re all excited about the universal search function that allows you to search words within documents as well as documents no matter where you are and what you’re working in. It’s kinda funny they are making a big deal out of…

    Last weekend, Toby Joe and I spent hours trying to figure out a way to record cell phone conversations for a project I am currently working on. We knew we needed a recording device, a cell phone that isn’t dependent entirely on Bluetooth (which is what I have), and a splitter to run one cord…

    A little over a month ago, I watched a bit on The Daily Show where Jon Stewart compared Lake George (the devastation seen in New Orleans) to Bill’s Monica Lewinsky. Not two seconds into the bit, my phone was ringing. I wrote about it. The following day, I tried to get an Anti-Bush T-Shirt through…

    I just had a really good phone interview with a woman whose name is on my list. Dare I say I am becoming more comfortable with this in time? Maybe. Thus far, I have conducted 7 interviews. And they’re getting easier. Now, I only get sick to my stomach as I’m dialing the phone and…

    I played a lot of soccer as a kid. I was actually pretty damn good at it, too. Sure, I couldn’t jump rope, dance, cheerlead (although I tried), do backbends, splits, or dress up very well. But I could play a mean game of soccer, softball, and basketball. Even though I usually played right wing…

    Today, I have an appointment with my gastroenterologist. I didn’t really think much of it at first. I figured I’d go in, tell him a few things about my eating habits, my heartburn, and the side affects I have had from drugs like Prevacid and Nexium. But then Toby Joe told me that the doctor…

    So, the new (I think?) Sony Earbuds are not my favorite things in the world. As a matter of fact, I might go as far as to use the word “hate” near them in a sentence. Holy crap. They suck. Just thought I’d share.

    Last night, one of the people I interviewed was introduced to me by a woman named Nessa. She gave me some really great leads and I will probably spend hours/days/weeks thanking her for it. Anyway, as we were wrapping up the interview, Nessa’s contact said, “My goodness, you sound so much like Nessa.” And I…
