I went looking for steak/pumpkin recipes because I wanted to know if anyone was ever bold enough to title a recipe How I Squashed My Beef

BeReal
You can tell BeReal was developed in France because people there are more likely to lead interesting lives in bustling cities bursting with activities while half my American feed (including my own daily shots!) is simply photos of one person driving a car somewhere by themselves. An American app developer in the suburbs would never …
Elongated Muskrat
Elon’s antics at twitter sure do remind me of another guy with quite a personality (disorder) that never admits any of his own personal mistakes, thinks and says he is a genius, and instead of paying people what they are owed, stiffs them and waits for them to sue him instead, then does everything in …
Pink
(I just found this post in my blog’s drafts. I wrote it one night in 2010, just edited it again and decided to post it today. I have no idea why I didn’t post it back then, it was a fun memory of a night I won’t forget from the 1980s.) I couldn’t sleep last …
Dreams of cryptography
I had the weirdest dream last night. Apropos of nothing, I was meeting with Ev Williams, cofounder of both Twitter and Blogger, in his office to talk about something I can’t recall. It’s weird because in real life I haven’t talked to Ev in six months, and I don’t know why he wandered into a …
Downton Abbey promo idea
Now that Downton Abbey will see a third season, before it goes live next year, I'd like to see the studio behind the series record a promotional video for the show, and this is my idea: The full cast on show locations, in full costume, performing a lip dub of George Harrison's 80s song "Got …
Thank Bill Cosby for today’s comedy boom
I have this crazy idea. Back in 1985, my family got cable TV for the first time and it included HBO. I think at the start they just played stuff from 5-10pm and eventually they played stuff maybe 12hrs a day, but I seem to recall they'd just repeat 2 or 3 movies a …
Why everyone loves coming up with ideas in the shower
A shower is great for coming up with ideas because it's essentially a sensory deprivation chamber in your very own home. Lots of white noise from the water, coupled with all white walls and obscured glass means there are no auditory or visual outside distractions to hinder thinking.
Caraoke: Let’s fucking do this
(if you want to hear the original song, listen here) A friend recently confessed he was really into karaoke and before he could ask I had to decline ever doing something as crazy as singing in public. I'm crippled with embarrassment whenever I have to dance or sing (or do anything kooky) in public, so karaoke is out, …
Progress
On December 31, 1999, there was a drawer in the kitchen of my small apartment in LA. It was filled with extra hot sauce packets from Taco Bell and Del Taco. December 31, 2009, my current kitchen does not posses this drawer.
