We all have a little awesome in us. Bill Cosby is the exception and is almost completely awesome. But being awesome and being part of the Awesome Club are different matters entirely.
Admittance into the Awesome Club requires a special knack for simple acts that can, in some way, be ...

I just woke up. My shoulder hurts. I’m lying face down in my bed. The lights are off. The blinds are open but it’s dark outside. A quick glance at the alarm clock and it’s 7:14. I overslept. But where’s Mary? The bed is made and she’s not beside me. ...

Remember the classic Nintendo days? I do. I happened across this website where you can play all the classic Nintendo games online and I was immediately enveloped in the blissful nostalgia of my youth. I remember the day we got our Nintendo, Faressa and I. We had begged our parents ...

I’m not a big sports fan but I do know that a rematch between Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather is a big deal. In their last match Mayweather won by split decision. A lot of folks are upset about it. I watched the whole match (on YouTube, of ...

In my quest for Ninjadom I’ve decided that the ultimate warrior must gain complete mastery of 3 important skills:
Jumping off of or over really high things
Scaling, walking, or running up high things
Doing flips (especially off of high things)
Gravity defying mid-air changes of direction
Aspiring Ninjas should wear their karate uniforms at ...

I once picked up this camera in Vietnam–no joke, it was an old ME Super. I bought it for $150 which was a total ripoff. After I started snapping pictures on it I realized that it would only take every other picture. You basically had to advance it twice which ...

This is a pretty funny sound byte I found over on Odeo. It makes me wonder if men in other countries are also the designated jar openers; I wonder if they are also the high-up-things-getters as well. I believe this natural phenomenon occurs not because women are too ...

While I was working on the RO Tube Map/Brundlefly post, Mary and I had the following conversation with our daughter:
[Mary question's Madeline]
“Who’s that Madeline?”
[Maddie looks at the picture on the computer screen and quickly replies]
“MOMMY!”
Oh that was so funny…

I’ll take the bait on Mary’s meme. Here are a couple of my “guilty secrets.” Note: I had to think hard to come up with these ;)
The Good
I sent Mary a postcard, everyday, for the entire month of July. Every day I told her something that I liked about her. ...

Wow. Derren Brown. What he does is so scary, but at the same time it’s so intriguing. I watched every one of the videos of him posted on YouTube. I wonder what kind of crazy mind control, if any, that he’s embedded in my brain. Weird. Interesting.

If you’ve ever wondered who’d win in a battle between Ninjas and Pirates, wonder no more. It would obviously be ninjas…or would it?

I love these shirts over on Snorg Tees. They’re really funny and I guess there are new ones every day.
Everyone knows I’m a geek. As hard as I try to look sophisticated, hip, and business like, it still shines through somehow. Maybe it’s because I make banker jokes? Hmm, ...

As you know, one of my favorite drinks is RedBull, although as of late I’ve been losing my taste for it a bit. Well Wired did a fun write up about what’s in this lovely drink. Turns out that most of its power, just like other energy drinks, still comes ...

I’ve always had a good feeling about Wednesdays—as if there was some undercurrent of goodness about the day itself. It’s a nice day of the week: Solidly in the middle, typically a sign that the week is coming to a close, and almost never associated with stupid statements such as ...
