So Just How Bad Was The Old Deck?
Throughout this saga, I haven’t really taken the time to establish a benchmark around why even bother to spend millions of dollars and billions of man hours replacing some rectangular boards with … other rectangular boards.

I\’ve stopped doing a monthly search string post because there haven\’t been enough good new ones the past several months to justify a quality post each month. And come one, people, I am all about the quality. That said, I was just poking around in the stats files and some of these made me chuckle. [...]
Read More...I promise this is the last post about frigging muxtapes
This parody muxtape comes pretty close to summing up the old guy angst I was trying to convey in this post (via Wired).

My enjoyment is derived from A) analyzing people\’s mixes (muxes?) as a singular [...]
Read More...My chompers. Let me show you them.
I went to the dentist on Tuesday. It was super awesome, that is, if you like things like child abuse and genital mutilation.

We\’ve lived in Tall Brown for a little over four years. Based on how much we\’ve done to it from an improvement standpoint, you\’d think we moved in last weekend. Well … those days are OVER! The pace of house humpery has been gradually increasing over the past several weeks and will continue to increase [...]

Hey, can someone tell me what the weather was like in Atlanta yesterday? I wasn\’t paying attention. Did it snow? I wish someone would say something about whether or not it snowed already because I would really like to know. Did it snow? Would it kill someone to blog and twitter and flickr and myspace [...]
