Ya know, after living through my share of holiday seasons, I’ve come to realize that there are two ways people enjoy Christmas. You can either enjoy Christmas as a participant, or you can play the part of the observer. The former is the preferred stance of snot-nosed kids everywhere, and the latter is the route chosen by us boring adults.

Seize the Blog Moment - 15
When I first got into blogging, I never realized what a challenge it was to come up with good content on a consistent basis. In order to crank out truly memorable articles or even to come up with things that will strike a chord with your readers, you’ve really got to be on your toes - you need to train yourself to seize the blog moment!

Gassing Up, Pissing Off, Getting KILLER Ideas - 10
More and more, consumer efficiency is becoming a big deal to me. In fact, I feel so strongly about this particular area that I’m thinking of dethroning Ralph Nader as the world’s foremost consumer advocate (Ralph, you reading this? Nah, you’re not - scrub). Seriously, though, I can’t stand it when things are inefficient for [...]

Mouse in the House - 6
I kinda had a lame weekend thanks to packing up one zillion outbound Ebay shipments. On Saturday night, I played poker with Charles for at least four hours and lost $20. The good news, however, is that I bet him $20 that Reggie Bush would win the Heisman. Genius took the bet, so I ended [...]

Dogs and snow. And dogs. Awww. - 3
Ordinarily, I try to fill this space with essays, ideas, and interesting things that I’ve done; today’s entry is a little different. By popular demand — which, around here, means that like two people have asked for it — I’m going to shamelessly dog-blog my two little guys, Deuce and B.
Deuce is a Jack Russell Terrier, and B is a paranoid schizo Japanese Spitz (Spitz-O). At the time of writing, Deuce is about 5.5 months old, and B is a little over two years old. And yes, my dogs are the coolest. By far. Except for the pissing on the carpet thing. Oh, and the game of “hide the poop” has gotten old, too.

Flickr your Fuckr - 3
Before you go freaking out that I’m casually f-bombing helpless citizens in the name of freedom, check out the origin of this fuckr. Did you read it? You didn’t, did you. “Too many words,” you say. Too much effort, huh?

New Furniture is Sweeeeeet - 4
My living room officially has prime real estate for butt comfort. Sure, the floor has been there since I bought the house, but the dogs have already claimed that, and trust me - you DON’T want any part of it.

9rules - Fashionably late ;) - 3
I just checked my clock, and it’s offically 1 minute into December. After packing up what seemed like a million things I sold on Ebay, I reflexively checked my e-mail like any good web junky. Besides the 50 emails from PayPal saying that I created a shipping label (because the HARD COPY off the printer [...]
