Holy Blog Post, Batman!
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, but I’m going to resist the urge to vomit words onto my blog in a giant ten-thousand word post. Instead I’ll employ the kind of brevity that made doing papers in college absolute hell (really, how much do you want me to say about Pope Leo the…something?…

Whoa, BlackBerry pics…
I was combing through the contents of my BlackBerry’s SD card this evening after successfully holding my own in some StarCraft II when I bothered to take a few minutes and look through the range of pictures I had taken with the really lousy camera on my phone. It’s still really hard for me to…

Taco Bell…foodstuffs…and that weight loss post
I promise, it’s a coincidence that these two topics are being conjoined into one post. By now most people have probably heard about the lawsuit against Taco Bell for calling their tasty meat-like filling beef. When I had heard on NPR that you needed your beef to be at least 70% beef, I figured Taco…

It’s Evo-licious
Thursday morning I was delightfully surprised to get the tracking status on my Evo and find that it was going to be delivered that day. I had figured I’d need to wait a few days, but someone at Sprint must have felt pretty bad that I was still on a Curve 8330 and put a…

A (Cold) Day at the Beach
After a snowy first two weeks in December, followed by a general thaw that culminated in a 55 degree New Years Eve, winter finally decided to come back to Michigan for the new year and brought a fair amount of snow with it. Having had the day off yesterday to relax, I decided to get…

Meet Sam.
Sam is my roommate here at The Bachelor Pad, and he helps me keep it real. I got him last summer around my birthday when he was about 8 weeks old and not much bigger than a Diet Coke can. Originally, I had no intention of getting an orange tiger (my parents have two); I…

My big empty deck
My deck now sits empty, thanks to the new rules regarding grills and the snow, but fear not. I have a plan to return it to it’s previous state of awesome. I didn’t do a whole lot with the deck this summer because it was still a work in progress. I realize it can be…

I should have resolved to bowl 100+ this year.
That way, I could cross something off my list of goals for 2011 on day 4 of the new year. Given that I’ve been bowling in the upper 90s for a week or two now though, that’s not much of a goal. It’s about as challenging as “get in to work on time this year”…occasionally…
