2011

I would like to put your minds at rest, oh ye non-readers. I exist still, but am still months away from posting anything substantive. That said, I wish you well in this upcoming year.

October 2010

In case you haven’t figured it out yet, this blog is completely on hold as of August 2010, and will be so in all likelihood through July 2011. I might comment on the upcoming elections in the USA, but even that is unlikely. That said, I take back what I said at the end of [...]

The Latest

Total views reached 1500 today. What an accomplishment. In other news, I have decided from my recent travels that Europeans are rather ridiculous.

Oh, Inflation

The other day, I was scanning old documents into a computer system. One of them was a restaurant menu from 1992, and the prices were clearly labelled. My jaw then hit the floor. $3 burgers, $0.50 cokes, $0.45 fries, and a whole host of $4-5 sandwiches. It’s hard to believe that that was only 18 [...]

A Liberal Fantasy

This morning I saw a story in the New York Times that amused me. The article in question chronicled Detroit’s shift from economic downturn to economic brightspot, thanks to the auto bailouts. As I sat reading it, I thought, “Do they really think that people are going to believe this BS?” Looking around Detroit these [...]

Something in the News

I came across a story on Yahoo! that was mildly interesting. It was about a liberal backlash against Target for giving $150,000 to the Republican candidate for governor in Minnesota. The liberals groups are making a hullabaloo out of what they say are 1) a company deliberately giving money to an anti-gay candidate, and 2) [...]

A Simple Thought

アメリカの車はふねがみたいです。 This saying was a favorite of one of my professor’s.

I’m Still Cool!

While watching YouTube videos, I often look at their respective statistics. In the past few months, they’ve added a feature that allows the viewer to see where a video is possible, when it was watched the most often, and which demographic watches the most. Generally speaking, I often watch videos viewed by the 50 year [...]

1 August 2010

This morning I was reminded once again that I should never stray from one of the most important lessons that I have learned. Namely: always avoid arguments with time wasting morons. If memory serves, that is also the title of a Dilbert book. I also saw this headline this morning on Yahoo! “Obama hopes Rep. [...]

Stupid Fashions

Yesterday morning I saw something that I found incredibly funny and equally disturbing. A young man was making a bit of a fashion statement. He was sagging his shorts slightly, and wearing a slightly long T-shirt with some unintelligible design on the front. That wasn’t unusual. What was was that he appeared to have tucked [...]
