Yes, more audio goodness, just like the first time. Click the link you fancy below to listen to my thoughts on guys being “Knights in shining armour,” or not.

I’m putting this up here because it’s a symbol of me growing up. The older I’ve gotten, the more shameless I seem to have become, and I recently did something I couldn’t even imagine doing a few years ago.

Along the lines parts one, two and three of this series.
At how many hours of Gilmore Girls per day does your ardent fandom slowly stray into the realm of unhealthy obsession?

Not to come-off as some sort of snob, but ever since I moved to the ritzier part of town a couple of years ago, I’ve done all my shopping at those speciality stores which are very tailored to specific niches. I don’t care […]

The following is my first “screen-cast” on OS X! I guess it’s ironic that the little video below needed to be re-encoded on my old GNU box using mencoder. The original video I received from the screen-capture program was 400 MB huge, and […]

People keep asking me about temperatures I experience with the MacBook Pro, and I’ve gotten tired of repeating myself. I’ve decided to document it once in for all and get it over with. All the following measurements are carried out in a pleasantly […]

I just got this e-mail with a subject that went something like, “Love isn’t just for the smart and talented, but even for the smallest of God’s creatures.” “Just great,” I go, thinking it is another one of those e-mails from PETA (how […]

Looking around, you can’t help but notice the first sightings of the much-missed hemline. And with rising hemlines, you can’t help but acknowledge the onset of spring. As much fun as winter clothes are—leaving so much to the imagination—this is a very welcome […]

(Not to get into anything technical, but I’m writing this from a new computer. And it’s freakin’ sweet.)
By now, you’re actually beginning to have thoughts along the lines of, “Women’s entertainment? […]

As sick as she is—gross blood-spewing and everything—the wife is still remarkably perceptive; so she soon finds out that he’s cheating on her. And by “remarkably perceptive,” I mean that she’s not blind, and happened to see him ogling over the other chick […]

On occasion, I’m overly drawn into a program on “Lifetime,” a woman’s entertainment channel. And by “overly drawn into,” I obviously mean that the remote is missing, I’m too lazy to move, and watch whatever is on; even if it’s the Lifetime channel.
