    Is anyone else completely fascinated by the fact that in these modern times, piracy on the high seas can still exist, and even be a profitable endeavor? I am totally amazed by it. This week a Maersk freighter carrying aid to a Kenyan port, was taken hostage off the coast of Somalia. According to the…

    They are all reasons that I am super pumped for the upcoming weekend. First of all, I love Easter. In addition to being a mental marker that spring is actually here, and having heavy Christian religious significance, the best candy of the year is available for purchase. Reagan and I have been warming up for…

    I admit that the road has been a rocky one, with this device. It has been a love/hate relationship. The latest round of drama has spawned from a faulty display on my sensor link. For a couple of months, I have only been able to read the first number, on the LCD display. Annoying as…

    Question– How come the tooth fairy stopped giving me money and why won’t my teeth grow back?!?!? Name: Tooth-4-Less Answer- Well, Tooth-4-Less, believe it or not, you are not the first one to ask this question. I actually had lunch with the tooth fairy the other day and it turns […]

    I came across this Lo-Bo hip hop video earlier this year on Animal NY. I thought it was appropriate to share today, being that there are plenty of lightning bolts flying in the NYC area. There are some pretty awesome super powers going on in the video. I wonder if they have tried to recruit…

    Friday evening, for the first time in my life, I was really scared in an elevator. To give a little background, I work on the 36th floor. My elevator bank serves the 27th floor, to the 39th floor. If there are no stops in between, it takes less than 1 minute for me to get…

    Going back to the early 90’s, this week. 1993, was the actual year that the track I’m sharing was released. It came out on the album “Strange Cargo III.” The artist, as you have probably guessed by this point, is William Orbit. Why is it that all of the best electronica artists/DJs, or whatever you…

    Today marks the 15th anniversary of the death of a legend. I’m not really sure how I could have made that first line any more cliche, but it’s true. I can’t believe it has been that long. I remember when I was a lot younger, my mom once told me that everyone in her generation…
