In this article, which originally appeared on Salon and is now on IndieBride.com, Lori Leibovich puts forth the possibility that the key to a long-term Relationship (with an uppercase 'R') is flirting. Not with each other - but with the various people one encounters in daily life: the ladies on your block or the neighborhood […]

I forget where I found this link, but here it is: Daylight Saving Time. Unlike many others, I couldn't care less about the hour I "lose" or "gain" due to DST. It comes on a Sunday - a day on which I traditionally have had nothing to do. Whether I get up at 7 or […]

"Reluctantly crouched at the starting line" isn't that the intro to a Cake song or something? I think so. Last night Jen invited me to go to a movie with two of her friends, and I was "reluctant" to go because I like to concentrate on the friendship I already have instead of "making nice" […]

Why is it that you can lay on the beach, and then get tired? What about the sun, and getting cancer a tan, that fatigues you? The small headache I have right now I can understand - I haven't eaten much today and try as I might, I couldn't block the sun from making my […]

I'm in a mushy mood having just watched Ed and they say that love is permanent, but what does that mean? What's so permanent about two people having an awesome time for decades and then turning into worm food? Is the necessity of "everlasting love" tied to religion in that there is an afterlife? That […]

MobileTracker has a little ditty on the possible Boston Mobile Phone Ban. It was my understanding that you could only be punished in NYC if your phone rang. Am I misunderstanding the NYC law?

Every month (since last month) I post my site's referral search terms (not what people search for on my site). It's an interesting peek that illustrates "how people are finding me." Here's March's…

I can now safely say that 5.8's are well within my abilities as a rock (wall) climber. After beating a few 5.9's and 5.8's, towards the end of my climbing session tonight, I tried 5.8 I'd never done before and climbed fairly easily to the top, no problems. The 5.8 that's been giving me trouble […]

Chris Pirillo proposes "No Pants Fridays" just as the episode of Sports Night (episode 22) in which Dan and Casey have no pants comes on. I've been watching my Sports Nights DVDs while doing work yesterday and today.

I don't expect it to last, of course, but right now my Pittsburgh Pirates are at the top of their division with a perfect 4-0 record, having beaten Cincinnati 10-1, 7-4, 7-5, and Philadelphia 9-1, all on the road. Outscoring your opponents 33-11 is nothing to be sneezed at, nor is scoring 33 runs in […]

Day 22 and the Survivors are playing with Roger's underwear. What the hell? Rob's bugle hasn't been tuned? Hmm. And Deena's panties are on fire? What the heck is going on in the Amazon this week? Let's find out.

Jamie came over and made smoothies the other day which is like a milkshake, kind of, except that it has no milk in it. Ice cream, except we used sherbet. Then again shake can also be like the shaking that you do when you're done peeing, or the shakedown given to criminals, like on Fastlane. […]

Etan points out something called OneWord™. This is an interesting concept, and a pretty standard writing tactic. I signed up, and now I'll be doing my "one word" daily.

Just don't create a file called -rf. -- Larry Wall in <11393@jpl-devvax.JPL.NASA.GOV> I wonder how many years ago that was, because surely Larry knows that you can "rm -- -rf." But then again, in Perl, who knows. Maybe that'll cause issues. Anyway, how often has this ever come up? Who has ever named a file […]

I'm looking to sell the domains (and the sites that go with them) AppleScript Central and Sound Set Central. They do quite a bit of traffic every day, have sold over $50,000 in advertising in the past four years, and are pretty much ready to go. There's a huge backlog of submissions. I've been too […]
