No Child Left Behind – Who are we Kidding?

An employee of mine is about to graduate from college, he is 19 years old I believe. We were talking yesterday about history, both world and American, and he expressed how little he knew. I shook my head and said “its tragic to me that your generation can use practically any technology based device placed [...]

Fun with Words!

So I am working late, real late, and decided that I needed a new word. It started with “fucktard”.. a word I am quite fond of…. and sadly did not come up with by myself. The day I first heard the term fucktard I almost peed I was laughing so hard. Everything about it is wrong, [...]

Thinking Outside the Box

Finally the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) finally is thinking outside the box, or rather thinking in a different box, one filled with little blue pills.

Thraxxus = OGRE

Christmas Eve, and Thraxxus made his development staff work! Furthermore, Thraxxus is making them work on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Thus – Thraxxus = OGRE, or shmuck, matters on your perspective really.

Embarrassing Story

So, my new boy looks just like me – and this fact is fascinating. It is like looking at a raw version of myself that may or may not grow in similarity as he “cooks”. Also, it allows me to compliment myself indirectly when I (loudly) comment on how cute he looks in that Pooh [...]

Random Facts You May Not Know

In order of shock value: A few years ago, Abba was offered $1 billion to regroup and tour. Mamma Mia! Those sharp tips at the end of whipped cream cans? A lip wound takes weeks to heal, believe me. Holy water-seared undead recover faster. Be patient…the airy sweetness will be dispensed in a timely manner. Kinko’s as [...]

Blade Runner

Last night I was laying in bed listening to my wife sleep while flipping through the channels when I came across Blade Runner(1982). Let me begin by saying that Blade Runner has always been one of my favorite films for a multitude of reasons, but for some reason I seem to forget what those reasons are until [...]

A Piece on American Business Values

I run a software development team. I have run several in the past as well. I take great pride in my team doing what they are supposed to do and try to instill that pride in them as well. More and more lately I have noticed that many of the companies that we interact with [...]

How much is to much Caffeine?

I have always wondered how much is to much? Well I believe I have found solid proof that tells us how much is to much.

Tax Payers Got Paid

Actually we didn’t, and won’t any time soon. I am of course referring to those wild promises made just a few weeks ago about the bailout. It went something like this – “The bailout will give the American Tax Payer a name stake in  the Companies that they are lending to. We consider it a [...]

Grow a Pair: Time to Tax Gas

Sorry I’ve been neglecting my blog duties – new baby, bitch grad classes, and general lethargy. Briefly, I just have to say that it is time for the government to man up and tax gas – drastically. As oil approaches a measly $40 a barrel, and gas creeps down to a buck-fifty, it is crucial [...]

Joke Time!

A man, his wife, and their little daughter go to the circus. The man goes to get some snacks for them and, while he’s gone, an elephant walks by sporting a gigantic boner. The little girl points at it and asks her mom, “Mommy, what’s that?” The mother, embarrassed, replies “oh…that? That’s the trunk!” “No, mommy,” [...]

Automotive Industry Oversight

As you the reader (if you have ever been here before, that means both of you!) probably know, I frequently listen to NPR as I see it being the closest thing to REAL news that the radio world has to offer, in the United States of America anyway. Recently they have been covering, in many [...]

Tyler Durden

Tyler Durden: Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who’ve ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit [...]

George Lucas Next Thing

Given the fact that George Lucas of Star Wars fame has completely lost his mind, his last four movies being proof of this, I think that his next series should be of Short Round – one of the greatest characters he ever devised. Short Round was the small “asian” (don’t think they ever specify where [...]

A Congrats to GlazednConfused

Congratulations to GlazedNConfused! His wife had a baby on Thanksgiving day. Their son is 10lbs 10 ounces. Let me put that into perspective: many of you ate some turkey on Thanksgiving, and in many instances, your turkey was about 11 pounds – roughly the same weight as his baby. Which lead me to thinking, as these [...]
