Hacks! Snakes! Tim Tams!

WorkFriendly is one of the most clever and amusing hacks for the underemployed I’ve seen, and the Samuel L. Jackson phone campaign is a brilliant hack that you can use to prank your friends who will turn around and prank everyone else they know resulting in everyone in the country getting 20 calls a day [...]

Two things

- Never wake a man when he is having his A-Team dream. I had my face man, I had some muscle. I had just souped up the van and got it all ready when boom! my brilliant plan was out the window because I had to get up and make breakfast for the baby.
- Don’t [...]


Where do I live? Where are you from?

Ever since Floyd Landis won the Tour de France yesterday, I’ve been happy to see all the mentions of his current hometown of Murrieta, California in the press. During my senior year of high school in Orange County, CA, my parents bought a house in Murrieta and moved there back when there wasn’t a single [...]

Not dead yet

Normally, I can easily track people talking about or mentioning me by tracking my last name, but lately these ego searches are useless, since the corrupt former Irish PM Charles Haughey finally died (and people are dancing on his grave from the blog posts I’ve read but it sounds like he was an awful man).

macbook man

Over the weekend, a new app called macsaber came out. The moment I realized that geeks everywhere would be swinging their new laptops around, my first thought was how stupid that must look and how that could easily become another Star Wars Kid parody.
My new macbook showed up today and I downloaded macsaber. The rest [...]

That’s not American

I bought a you-bake-it-at-home apple pie today and the instructions said to bake at 375 for 1 and 1/2 hours then for optimum flavor, let cool for 4 to 6 hours.
hours.
four to six hours? Who in their right mind lets a perfectly good warm apple pie get cold before they try a slice?

For the songwriters

random thought while listening to music: the words “acetylene” and “unsettling” sound so similar that you probably shouldn’t write love songs about welders.


TurboText Adventure

I realized when I was finishing up my taxes last week that TurboTax is basically boiled down complicated tax forms into a text adventure. They ask you hundreds of questions, you fill in some numbers, and you’re done.
I’ve been using TurboTax online for six years now and I typically work on my taxes in [...]
