Neil Armstrong’s Parents
(throwback from 2005)
Question:
What are the Names of Neil Armstrong’s parents?
-Maria Gilbert
Answer–
I’m glad someone finally asked that. The cool part is that most people are probably thinking, “oh, Neil Armstrong, the one giant step guy,” but in reality, you are asking about Neil Armstrong, the famous electric fork [...]
Signage
One of the blogs that I keep tabs on is called Public Ad Campaign. Before I started reading it, I had no idea how heavily regulated sign placement was. Jordan, the author, is very opinionated about advertising being visual pollution, etc. I don’t necessarily subscribe to his views in every instance. One thing that has … Continue reading Signage
When I came home from work…
This was on my pillow: I like it about 1000 times better than the one that I did.
Bringing it back
On my very first blog, I had this thing that I did called Jake Knows Everything. It was kind of fun, and useful in keeping my creative juices flowing. The page pictured above is actually the 3rd generation. Here is the 2nd. For some reason, I can’t find the original. Anyway, I haven’t really kept … Continue reading Bringing it back
Super Hero Powers
The other night, Reagan and I were having a tough time falling asleep. When this happens, Reagan generally starts saying stuff to make me laugh. Reagan is a pretty funny girl, and when you couple that with already being a little punch drunk with the “tired sillys,” it can get pretty entertaining. The particular night … Continue reading Super Hero Powers

Wouldn’t it be awesome if bankers had a Wall Street equivalent of Hollywood’s Oscars? All of the Wall Street players could have a big televised party where they get together, blow … Continue reading Make it stop!
Dry Winter Weather Dilemma
I’m sure that I’m not the only one who suffers from extra dry skin in the winter. It seriously makes me crazy. Especially on days like today, when it is so cold and windy. It seems to sap my skin of all moisture. This condition, left unchecked, will leave my knuckles all dried out and … Continue reading Dry Winter Weather Dilemma
La Musica Coolica #13 (GA)
Lucky number 13, here we are. I debated about posting something other than these guys, today, since the last LMA was also electronica-style stuff. But whatever. “These guys,” by the way, are Groove Armada. A couple of guys, is exactly what they are. They are kind of like a 2 man version of Norman Cook … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #13 (GA)
I had to
I had to post one more of these pictures that Reagan took in the car. This one makes me laugh so hard. The best part about these shots is the completely straight face. It’s like Reservoir Dogs meets Sugar and Spice. We had another fairly productive weekend. Friday night, Reagan came down to the FiDi, … Continue reading I had to
