Twice this month I found that I’ve found that I’m a better conversationalist when I’m waiting in line to use the bathroom in those bars, places, or homes that don’t have separate bathrooms by gender.
I guess it’s the combination of boredom, a captive audience, and the need to distract myself from my bladder causes me [...]
Just heard something about me that was completely ridiculous and, at the same time, very funny. (I only wish it were true.)
To set the record straight:

22 November 2007.
The dishes are being passed around the table: turkey, white and dark meat, cranberry sauce, gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potato, stuffing, kimchee…
Maybe at your Thanksgiving there is that dish that is not like the others—the one that reminds you that no matter how twinkie you’ve become, there is still a hint of your [...]
I love Lunch 2.0. It’s ironic that something that started as a prank on Web 2.0 could become representative of the very thing it teases: free and open communication and “the lunch as a conversation.”
Even though I missed Lunch 2.0 at Oodle, you have to love this mobile post via Utterz by Chris Heuer catching [...]
There are a couple guys in the tech world who are models, have been models, or could be models. A friend said that the combination of tall, dark, handsome and geeky was “totally unfair” to us. (I assume she meant to us guys, but I suppose it could go for girls also—maybe for them it’s [...]
Great news today! Halle blogs another gem about some social “research” results:

High number of friends [...]
Hmm, it’s been a while since I posted some PHP jobs. (You know this is getting inconvenient. I think I need to just write a job tool for php.net.) Received this rec from a friend filling a position for FOX Interactive Media to work on the American Idol site. They can work in San Francisco, [...]
“You called me earlier?”
D— replies, “Oh yeah, I was at the hardware store. Something there reminded me of a blog entry of yours.”
“Which one?”
“I forgot. So hey, speaking of that. Chris was annoyed about your lame post.”
“Yeah, it was so lame that it was actually a rehash of an earlier blog entry.”
“Oh really? The article [...]
I was browsing through Facebook and I ran across Andrew Mager’s profile photo again. This time it was taken at the CNET holiday party.
I’ve been saying for a while now that I’m just going to compile all of his Facebook profile photos into a book and make bank. But I had to blog this one, [...]
Today Flickr combined my two favorite things in the world: photography and my ego.
Introducing Flickr stats.
