Double Reading

Why is it that whenever someone jokingly anticipates something horrible happening to them thus resulting in the loss of the knowledge they carry in their head they say, “In case I get hit by a bus.”
Yes, buses do hit and kill people, but I think cars do much more often. I am nearly hit by [...]

I’m giving Windows Live Writer Beta a try. Usually I write my posts using the WordPress interface, but it’s always fun to try new products. I’ve heard really good things about Writer so I figured why not?
This post is mostly a test

I’ll try to do this more often and possibly elaborate on these at another time…
Skeptical Glare — this is how a newspaper described the “hipsters” might be looking at Madonna

I’ve had it with these stupid “me too!!” comments that people are posting on the 206-415-xxxx post. I’ve noted my annoyance before, but now I’m taking action. I have disabled comments for that post. Although it’s fun to get tons of emails with people posting comments, nobody has posted a comment that is worthwhile or [...]

I hate to be all gossipy and stuff, but I cannot resist posting this note that is taped to the door on the guy who lives in the apartment next to mine.
It reads:

The philosophers listed are: Aristotle, Plato, Augustine, Descartes, Kant, Marx, Nietzsche, Foucault. We joked that I should etch Zizek on the very top [...]

Is anyone else as annoyed/surprised as me about the fact that my blog has basically been taken over by a discussion (if you could call it that?) of this 206-415-xxxx thing?
The main post about me being annoyed/confused by the phone call currently has over 45 comments! What sucks, though, is that most of these comments [...]

In November 2004 I purchased a new notebook computer. I had always used desktop computers in the past, but figured that it was time to get a nice, portable computer. I didn’t even contemplate where to get the computer — I immediately went to the Dell site and bought a Dell Inspiron 1150 (note the [...]

I learned last night while watching The West Wing that there are only three words in the English language that being with DW: dwindle, dwarf, and dwell (and, of course, their variations). Inspired by this knowledge, I created the following poem:

The dwindling dwarf dwells
Dwindle, dwelling dwarf
The dwarf dwindled in the dwelling
Dwarves dwell in dwindles
They dwelled [...]
