Someone posted this comment on my review of Dave Cullen’s Columbine on www.my52books.com. I’m not sure the need for the insults, the double slurs (lying liar, and calling me an idiot twice!), and I’m interested in what this guy had a problem with both in my review and in the book itself. The irony is [...]

I found this sign in the park where we had an Easter egg hunt for the children today. I’m not sure of the difference between “feces or defecate”; if you do know, please do not post it on my blog. I especially love the picture of the dog peeing. Without reveling too much about myself, [...]

I found this in a Japanese store, and thought this brand would never work in the U.S. We are too vain to drink this.

Posted in computers, my favorite posts, slightly strange on June 30, 2009 | 3 Comments »
On my way back to Portland from Salt Lake City, I ran into Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer. For those hardcore Apple fans out there, this is a big deal. We chatted for awhile because I invited him to coffee. We went to Starbucks, and talked technology for about an hour. It was the [...]
