Choose Your Own Adventure! (er, blog)

October 26, 2010

Remember “Choose Your Own Adventure” books?  Those mass-produced micro-novels where the reader makes plot-changing decisions on behalf of the main character? (read as: You play God). “As you enter the cave, you see lights up ahead.  Turning a corner you discover a group of mangy pirates gathered around a table and an oil lamp.  They [...]

The Best Blog Without a Niche

October 19, 2010

They say a blog should have a niche. A focus. That stresses me out. It has for a long time. My writing is all over the place at times – jumping from thought to thought – sometimes funny, serious, angry, or just plain weird. Truth is, this blog really doesn’t have a focus (It doesn’t [...]

Perfect vision is a lie!

August 16, 2010

This may be useless information… but then again, isn’t spreading marginally useful (albeit entertaining) information the purpose of the internet?  Thought so. Proceed! Can we please stop referring to 20/20 vision as “perfect 20/20″  Vision known as 20/20 is AVERAGE. (Similar to how an IQ of 100 is average. Same idea.) A micro-lesson The first number [...]

I’m going to start using screen capture videos more frequently – mainly as a [...]

LOLcats: The stupidest possible creative act?

June 30, 2010

I’ll get to LOLcats in a moment, but first I want to share a short discussion I had with myself earlier today. I thought, ‘I haven’t been to the gym in weeks! I should go today. No, not today – I don’t have any chicken to cook at home. If I can’t eat healthy afterwards [...]

Don’t make me say “Double-u Double-u Double-u”

June 25, 2010

Most web addresses start with “www dot”. My question is: Would one “w” be sufficient? Think of all the wasted syllables when people speak three w’s. That’s nine syllables! Find us online at ‘double-u double-u double-u dot…’ Think of all the wasted keystrokes the world has spent entering those three w’s. By my hilariously non-scientific [...]

Life Hacking: How to Think About the Past

June 22, 2010

[Warning: this video is a bit "out there."  At the least, it will make you think.  At best, it will reconstruct how you think about your past.] The past is a tricky thing to manage.  Over indulging in the past can cause one to lose focus on the present.  Yet forgetting the past altogether makes us feel [...]

[video] Quick Tour of my Current Office

June 18, 2010

During the past year or so I’ve found myself all over the map: Ireland, England, Germany, Hawaii, New York City, Atlanta, and of course making stops in my home town Indianapolis.  When I’m out and about I work from my laptop but I thought I’d give you a look into my local nest. My home [...]
