There are a number of blogs out there–over half a million in fact. Many of these blogs are started with the naive intent to become rich and famous. Let’s famous it, we’d all love to get paid 6 figures (or even 3 figures) to play on the computer all day. After all, isn’t playing on [...]
My new BlackBerry PlayBook reminds me of countertops. In a good way. See, I used to own a granite countertop business (I sold my half to a business partner in October of 2010). And it was a good, little shop, too, 15-ish employees fabricating and installing around seven kitchens a week. One thing that made [...]
I hear a lot of nonsense about how women aren’t funny. In fact, it’s actually a joke I often make myself. You see, I like my humor dry (and shaken, not stirred). See, when I think about spending the afternoon with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, I think about how dull and dreary it would [...]
Sorry, Clark Kent, Superman and maybe even Jimmy… Lois Lane is going solo. In a fascinating turn of events, the veteran journalist of Metropolis’ Daily Planet is rumored to have booted both Clark Kent and Superman, who incidentally are never seen together but that doesn’t mean anything, from her tight circle of confidantes. The upgraded [...]
When I was a new blogger, I went about trying to find new and inventive ways to promote my blog’s content. Through this endeavor, I stumbled upon something magnificent. No, I did not stumble upon StumbleUpon. Well, I did, but that’s not this story. I stumbled upon the Twitter account I’d created two years before [...]
Two kinds of professionals make me nervous: teachers and cops. In the interest of my not getting arrested, let’s talk teachers. In the seventh grade, I had a history teacher that dictated the outline of each chapter of our American history book while also writing it on the blackboard. Like this: I. Causes for the American [...]
Frequently, I find myself wondering how life was conducted before there were smartphones. This is particularly troubling as I was alive at a time when they did not exist. I didn’t have a cell phone to myself before college. Prior to that, I shared one with my dad and sister for emergencies only. Before that, [...]
Why should you take technical advice from me? Short answer: You shouldn’t; I don’t know what I’m talking about. Still, that does not stop me from having opinions. You see, although I am not a techie in real life, I play one online. I’m the go-to IT person in my home. (I suck, but I’m [...]
I loves me a top ten list. Except, I go to eleven, so there are eleven things on my list. Because sometimes you just need that extra push. Eleven is one louder. And I’m loud. BOY AM I LOUD. Like, no volume button really. It’s OFF or ON. Anywho, I compiled a list of things [...]
Internet message forums turn 34 today. This essentially means that our generation doesn’t know a world without message boards–they have always just been there like the mustard in the back of your fridge, the date of purchase for which you can’t remember. (Dude. It came with the house.) Conceived in a blizzard by two nerds in [...]
My friend and personal trainer is one of those people that plays Scrabble on her phone all of the time. Yesterday, I finally made the mistake. I asked her who she plays against. Whoever she knows that has the Scrabble app. What? I have the Scrabble app. I’ve been playing against the computer. I didn’t [...]
It’s a truth I’m getting used to. I watch dancing babies on lunch breaks. I laugh at puppies popping balloons with their teeth. I think fat guys that act like seals are hilarious.
