My Idiot Friends
And Now I’d Like to Pass the Mic
As you can probably tell, I haven’t had much time for posts lately, which sucks because there is a lot going on right now in Chicago. I’m doing my best to keep up, but my Chicago corruption kung fu is weak. If you read this post from a few days ago you got a little [...]
The Return of Half
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted a Toonlet. Â It’s not that I don’t have any material. Â There are volumes of one liners perfectly suited for cartoons. Â And boy do I know some characters. Â It just slipped my mind for some reason. This particular situation occurred on a night that began in an airport [...]
Twittering and Running
There’s a group of Knoxville Twitterish types gearing up to run the Jingle Bell 5k here in Knoxville on December 13. Brandon over at Knoxify has more information, including team name and link to sign up. Oh wait, I can give you that here. Come on out and run with us while you can still [...]
What to do With Your Galt Time
If you’re thinking of going Galt next year, it wouldn’t hurt to start finding something to do with all that down time now. After all, it’s damn near impossible to be completely unproductive, and it’s going to take some planning. I think I’ve found one outlet. Last Sunday, I was running with one of my [...]
INTJ — Myers Briggs For Idiots, Or at Least Me
 I took the Myers-Briggs personality test my freshman year of college, but I don’t remember what I was. I’m pretty sure that my personality has evolved in some areas since then. The other day on Twitter @eeUS was asking for people’s types, and I took this quick test to find out what I am. [...]

I Don’t Feel Like Writing
But these people do. Â So go read their posts. LissaKay on how socialism works. Â Notice the guy at the top pays the same amount either way. BillyMac has fun playing with John McCain’s tongue. Â Strange fetish. Why Libertarians and true conservatives don’t win elections. Â Duh. Seth Godin writes a post about me–too small to fail. [...]
Feelin’ Good Again
It’s good when you go on vacation to get away and not think about stupid stuff for a few days. Â Of course, if you’re like me, you spend those vacation days thinking about stupid stuff anyway, but it’s different stupid stuff than you think about when you aren’t on vacation. Â This vacation was especially good [...]
Baby Poop That Is–The Worst Kind
A few years ago one of my friends was waiting on his wife to get ready for a Christmas party we were both attending and, undoubtedly, enjoying a few cool beverages. He passed the time by putting together a mix CD for me. I never told anybody about all the beautiful love songs he included [...]
AdMobile No Longer Mobile
But it still exists. Now, however, it’s called The Billboard Truck. About four years ago, the Admobile took Knoxville by storm. Everybody was talking about it. This was long before diesel prices skyrocketed to unsightly heights. This was before the scare tactic formerly known as Global Warming decided it wanted to be called Climate Change. [...]
