How Can You Even Be Laughing Right Now When Terri Schiavo is [DEAD] | [BARELY ALIVE]…
Skipping merrily on my way to the special hell reserved for people who love to poke fun at memetic mass-media-sponsored outbreaks, I installed the Firefox plug-in which provides an always-on monitor of Terri Schiavo’s life-status. There is nothing very special about the Schiavo case, other than:
the high irony of the state becoming the [...]

The worst Retail space ever!

Originally uploaded by nerdmeyr.
Last weekend, I accompanied some friends to Indy. Or, rather, the outskirts of Indy. Whereupon we ventured into “David’s Bridal” for to see if Sarah could be finished trying to get together her outfit for bridesmaiding.

Orphaned Bikes of Bloomington
bike0085
My latest (ahem, rather, first-ever) photo project is documenting abandoned bikes tethered to metal pieces here in Bloomingville. They are ubiquitous and sad. And, to much to my uptight germanic self, extremely wasteful. If I had a $99 32 lb. dual-suspension Huffy, I’d probably let it rust [...]

Friday Nights in a Small Town
I’ve been trying to be more personal and less rant-y here, seeing as how the Mythical Power of the Blog is really self-centered around navel-gazing and auto-psychologizing. Also, because sometimes I feel like I could make a rant-y every damn hour, but I rarely feel up to self-sharing. Which makes me think there’s [...]

The Essential Problem of The Video-Game Playa
What does anyone care that I rode a virtual Wraith, stripped a virtual Brute Shot from a dead comrade, and then proceeded in my Mjolnir Mark VI armor (featuring upgrade HUD system tied to armor sensors and integrated fully with the neural interface) to lay waste to 1,500 virtual Covenant Jackals, Brutes, Grunts and Elites [...]

I’m Just a Follower Dagnabit
The Aquarian personality can be chaotic and unpredictable, stubborn and rebellious, cranky and perverse. It is a sign which can be totally dedicated to being unconventional, while remaining stuck in a rigid, unrecognized pattern.
“A new weblog is created about every 2.2 seconds”??!?! The thing I most hate about my own blog right now [...]

Dietary TrendWatching
As if the signs weren’t already all around us, I hereby argue:
Pepsi Holiday Spice
Atkins branded “Nutritionals”
are D.O.A. in the supermarket shelf-space wars to win the hearts and minds and loose change of America’s fair citizens.
My reasoning? Palettes and palettes of both products in the warehouse at Hoosier Hills Food Bank.
The Holiday Spice [...]

Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing Ta F’ With
Terry Gross interviews the RZA from wu-tang
Lord, if I had as much time as I have ideas, there is a song waiting to be made featuring a sample of Terry Gross saying “The Rizzah” and “Ol’ Dirty Bastard” (for those of you who don’t know, Ms. Gross was not making a political reference to [...]

Pantomiming Like an Armless Mannequin: Thomson NetG
The subtitle to this post should be: “Lord, just give me some Word Clip Art”.
Thomson NetG is one of these online learning outfits who have all sorts of self-aggrandizing sales puffery on their website: ” We deliver those skills with our highly regarded award-winning IT & Desktop Skills Portfolio….Courseware is qualified, up-to-date, relevant [...]

Promenade, American Style
No arbiter of style, myself, certainly. When making an effort, my effort consists of matching socks that would not normally be categorized by a large retailer as “tube” AND long pants. So, please, do not take the following as if I’m writing in the snarky vein of Joan Rivers covering the [...]
