My Very Own LolCat

By now everyone should know what a lolcat is. If not you can check them out at http://www.lolcats.com. I'm also sure that everyone has heard of the American teacher who is in trouble over the name of a teddy bear. If not you can read about it at http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/africa/11/30/sudan.bears/index.html. So what does this have to do with my own lolcat? Let me show you.

I Just had to Say This

I have an awesome wife and I feel compelled to fill you in.

Proud Owner of a Zune

My wife, god bless her, cannot keep Christmas presents a secret. She never has. She had told me she bought some Christmas presents yesterday in an e-mail. I knew as soon as I got home she would want me to open at least one if not all. I was right as usual.

This Got Me Thinking

Monday night there was nothing on television as usual. The wife and I are not big TV watchers. We have very few shows we actually watch on a regular basis. Because of this we ended up watching Walking with Cavemen on the Discovery channel. It is a pretty good show. But it got me thinking.

What is Wrong with People?

People are seriously flawed. There are a few internet videos going around that make me question the state of humanity. Now I am a fan of online videos where people hurt themselves doing something stupid but the stuff I have seen and heard about are just plain wrong.

Happy Thanksgiving

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the U.S., a time for us to be thankful for what we have. It also marks a long weekend for most of us. I will be heading to Florida tonight with the family to go spend a few days with my wife's family. So I will not be here to give you pointless things to read. Because of that I am going to touch on a some subjects that are on my mind.

Sesame Street is Bad for Kids

I grew up watching Sesame Street as did a lot of people my age. What kid didn't like muppets? Recently Volume 1 and 2 of Sesame Street was released on DVD and comes with a warning. The episodes are deemed "Adult Only". Apparently, today's children couldn't handle the Sesame Street of old. WTF?

I Had to Do This

Sometimes you see something on the internet and you just have to share. This happened yesterday after reading an article about peoples fear of colors. I never knew people had fear of color but if you can be scared of heights, bugs and clowns, especially clowns, I guess you can be afraid of anything. So, what do you fear? Go ahead, click the Read More link...I dare you.

Fair Pay

I had to drive to work this morning and spent almost four hours in traffic. This is what happens when it rains in DC. While I was in my truck I was listening to the radio and they were discussing a baseball player and a proposed salary if he were to stick with his team. It boggled my mind.

Cell Phone Usage

Cell phones are handy devices. They could be considered one of our greatest inventions. They are convenient and perfect if you are on the road a lot. However, they can also be extremely annoying in the hands of the wrong person.
