Oh shit: Egg McMuffin inventor dies at 89. Anyone that knows me knows that I’m the biggest fan of this man’s invention.
I can’t think of a more fitting tribute than imagining Father Guido Sarducci/Lazlo Toth is spreading jam on a McMuffin, just for you, inventor guy.
I saw someone I know selling their old car on craigslist and it reminded me of the time I sold my last car using similar means. I almost fell for a couple guys that showed up, test drove the car, then tried to buy it at a vastly discounted price. They were quite persistent […]
I’m a big fan of cupcakes, huge fan. 30lbs overweight fan.
Anyway, a couple months ago, my wife gave her students some cupcakes and someone BLEW MY MIND with a simple hack that solved one of cupcakes’ few failings: sometimes there’s just too much frosting, they’re too tall for your mouth, and/or the frosting/cake mix is […]
I open my email this morning and there’s a long message from a vaguely familiar name. It’s dozen paragraphs long but I start to read it.
The first couple paragraphs explain that I’ve connected with this person in the past either through some hipster activities in the DC area or through blogging, and the author was […]
Sometimes I like to make up words to match situations. Here’s today’s made up word/phrase:
All-You-Can-Amnesia (n)
Common form of memory loss often found in food service industry waitstaff. Especially prevalent in restaurants that don’t write anything down when you order, often resulting in the wrong dressing, wrong drinks, and an entirely missed entrée.
Seriously, when did trying […]
Clothundrum (n)
When a person that orders witty, nerdy, and humorous t-shirts on the internet, enough to make them the “funny t-shirt guy” in their hometown, needs to travel to a function that will include other people that order witty, nerdy, and humorous t-shirts on the internet and is having trouble packing. See also: conundrum, clothing.
I would suggest that all of you find your “accordion” — that thing that makes you try out life’s little detours — and use it to practice your own random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty. The rewards are astonishing.

I’m in Kansas for the National Writers Workshop put on by the Poynter people. They asked me last summer if I wanted to come talk about online stuff and I said yes, but to give you an idea of how much of a lightweight I am at this conference, I bumped into another speaker on […]
Pretty interesting community story taking place on Digg today (as much as I can gather, after Andre showed me):
user makes a post on digg linking to the encryption key that is used to crack HD DVD protection
story is pulled, user is banned, then story goes up about banning user (people speculate it’s because HD DVD […]
Oh my god I love this song. Love it. The part in the chorus with the drums? Awesome! I totally need to see these guys live, I bet they’re so good. God this song rocks. Man, it sounds like someone really far away is getting a gnarly scraping, but all I hear is this awesome […]
