Similar to other sites - see reason #2. 4. Slow update frequency - no sense keeping them around… 5. Changed interests - I'm no longer interested […]

Question: What is and how do you feel about stem cell research? My Answer: I'm not sure what it is exactly, which is part of the reason I'm asking the question. My current understanding (due to change in the next 30 minutes, no doubt) is that stem cell research involves the use of undifferentiated cells […]

Question: How many chats can you handle at one time? My Answer: Ten or so, but any more than six and some of them are probably being neglected. If the girl calls, then that number quickly drops to zero. I consider email to be worth two chats in and of itself, so if I'm doing […]

Question: What are good names for a boy? My Answer: I like the name Reece. I like the names Aidan Reece, too. I like names that a) can't be abbreviated or shortened (nicknames), b) are somewhat unique (i.e. no "Doug"s), c) don't bring up bad memories of people I've known (impossible for you to know […]

Question: Is "masturbate" a dirty word? My Answer: Fucking cunt no. It's perfectly legitimate. By the way, yes, this post and the one previous are meant to make a point. As soon as I figure out what that point may be I'll let you know. 🙂 You are encouraged to answer the Question of the […]

Question: If you were going to have a morning talk radio show, what would you call it? My Answer: My radio named would be "Charlie Wood" and I'd call my show "Morning Wood" or "Wake up with Wood." Of course, I'd have to prepare for a month so as not to laugh every time I […]

Is this irony or just complete stupidity? I'm willing to listen, up to a point, but unless your site is hosted on weblogs.com, I don't understand why you're hogging the microphone right now. The ironic part being, of course, that Dave took the microphone away from people whose site was hosted on weblogs.com. The only […]

Question: If you were forbidden from using the word "love" and its close synonyms (amour, "really like", etc.) to describe that feeling, which word would you choose? My Answer: Cherish comes close. Comfort. I think I'm actually going to go with appreciation, and not in the way you appreciate a nice steak or a piece […]

Question: Is stealing always stealing? My Answer: No, and it's one of the blurrier lines a software developer, designer, and author probably have to walk. PulpFiction works a lot like Mail, and we borrowed some of the UI, but we didn't steal it: we implemented all of our own features and wrote all of our […]

Question: Kids: take 'em or leave 'em? My Answer: I'd like to have one or two, but I'm never sure how anyone decides that they're financially secure enough to actually decide to have a child. Perhaps I like to do too many things, and like to move around in my jobs quite a bit, but […]

Question: What are you most looking forward to doing this summer? My Answer: I live in Florida, so is it OK if I say "staying inside where it's air conditioned?" Ugh. I'm looking forward to doing what I'm doing and having fun. I'll work on my tan just fine when I finally get out fishing […]

Question: What is your biggest regret? My Answer: I like to say that I don't have any regrets: only intelligent observations about my past. In other words, there's really nothing I regret doing if I've learned something from it. I don't really have many "big observations" either: I've lived my life fairly as I've planned. […]

Question: What was Reagan's greatest accomplishment? My Answer: I was young through the 80s, and even still, I remember seeing Reagan, hearing Reagan, and understanding Reagan. Titles are tossed about like fish at Pike Place, but my Erie Times said "The Great Communicator" and to a my five-year-old self, he was that indeed. You are […]

Question: What quote best reminds you of someone you care for, love, adore, cherish, etc.? My Answer: There are so many, but today the one topping the list is "If God made you he's in love with me" from If God Made You by Five for Fighting. You are encouraged to answer the Question of […]
