If you live in the Boston Area, do not go outside!Friday, January 26th, 2007 with Comments Off

It is so absolutely, painfully, intolerably, butt clinchingly cold outside! I am not a wimp by any measure, but… well… actually, I am a massive wimp. People say that big guys, for some reason, are the biggest baby’s, and I definitely fall into that category. But like Al Gore, I am totally serial… You need […]

Who would have thought: Me at a Jamie Foxx show?Sunday, January 21st, 2007 with 1 Comment »

So a couple of nights ago, my girlfriend was really bored. I mean BORED; like desperately crushed bored. It is really my fault; I mean, I am a computer nerd kinda guy, who likes sports and enjoys school. She can’t stand me being on the computer, becomes physically ill while watching sports, and would much […]

These are probably old news, but damn are these pics hilarious. I am not sure if these actually found their way on to billboards or magazine pages, but damn… Of course, I assume the fluid is perhaps crazy glue, because the girl is obviously repairing his zipper… But hey, you be the judge as these […]

The Web 2.0 AlphabetThursday, January 11th, 2007 with 10 Comments »

Well, I had this communications professor way back in the day at my undergraduate school (a whopping 6 months or so ago) who made this logo alphabet. He chose a company for every letter of the alphabet and the companies were representative of our generation. It was pretty darn interesting, but trademarked… So I thought, […]

Web 2.0 DeathlistSaturday, January 6th, 2007 with 7 Comments »

I found this post over at Wisdump, talking about which Web 2.0 companies should be killed off. Well that is a tall task, I must say. Especially, since it seems that the standard is that I can only pick 3… But I will give it a whirl.
Now, most people responded with Myspace on their list. […]
