1. Move to Los Angeles.
2. Enjoy it completely until fire season starts in August.
3. Breathe fumes and smoke and ash for a few days.
4. Wonder aloud at a party what starts some of these fires.
5. Go to bed that night and get a song about not starting a fire stuck in your head somehow, amidst [...]

There’s a good chance that this post will cause my partner to roll his eyes, cover his face with his hands, and then click close tab. It’s no secret that I’m a huge nerd, and despite being in a field practically devoid of gadgets, I still manage to spend a whole lot of time thinking [...]

My Afternoon Inner Monologue While Napping on the Couch For Something Like Two Hours.

The Most Unproductive Nap Ever
Or
An Inordinate Amount of Dialogue Considering This Is A Slumbering Monologue

(30 minutes later.)
Hey, I’ve been asleep. With my glasses on. [...]

Twitter. The social networking site that everyone either loves to hate, hates to love, hates to hate, or loves to love. The site that is frequently lauded for being lame for reasons as uncreative as it’s just boring to I don’t care what you’re doing every minute of every day, both of which are tired [...]

Today is the much-awaited 20-Something Bloggers Video Blog day! The theme is “What does 20SB mean to you?” A fitting theme, indeed, and considering I’ve made some amazing friends through them, I thought the least I could do was participate.
Here’s the part that’s easy to believe: I did this video in one take. I only [...]

I will be there. Nico will be there. But more importantly, will YOU be there?

Confrontation has never been one of my strong suits. I’ve long been a good listener first and a good conversationalist second. My landlord, on the other hand, has an affinity for considering himself a blow-hard know-it-all and at 60 years old is never going to feel differently.

Hey, remember how much I complained about having no internet access the other day? How the DSL completely went out and, once it was fixed, it still worked slower than dial-up? Yeah, I decided to change that. On Monday, I got it into my head that since school starts in two weeks, and since one [...]

As the notorious Nico often says so succinctly, we live in the future! And every time he says it, be it while we’re instant messaging, emailing, blogging/commenting, or chatting it up at a party, I always nod my head in solemn agreement. He knows about these things much better than I. Or rather, he’s got [...]
