Dear NBC, Please stop being stupid. When I can buy Heroes Season 1 on DVD with extras for $37.99, why would I pay $109.78 for season 2 in iTunes? Especially when I can watch them on TV for free? I don’t know why you think we’re stupid, but it might be projection. Seek help. Thanks, [...]

Josh Barnett Has a Reason to Wear Shoes in the Ring
I’ve always wondered why former UFC Heavyweight Champion Josh Barnett likes to wear shoes in the ring when so many other fighters don’t, and I just figured it out. It’s not because of his catch wrestling background. It’s because he’s disfigured. Here he is answering questions about Renato Sobral’s choke on David Heath: “Maybe to [...]
Senator Craig’s Strange Statements
I was listening to the taped interview with Larry Craig after his arrest for trying to get it on with Sgt. Dave Karsnia of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Police Department, and a few of his comments seemed out of place: OFFICER: I’m not going to bring you to jail. CRAIG: You solicited me. Also: [...]
Do me a favor
…and wish my wife good luck on her trip today. Send her an email, pray for her (if that’s your thing) or just think good thoughts on her behalf. This is her first long road-trip without me in a long time and I think she’s a little nervous. So let her know that you’re thinking [...]
Review: Skagen 396LTMB Men’s Watch
For my birthday this year, my wife got me this cool Skagen watch. It has a stainless steel mesh band and a titanium body, both of which are black as a result of ion plating. The mesh band is perfect for me because it doesn’t get caught in my arm hair the way a lot [...]
Untold Tales, Part 2
Many years ago, we rented a car and drove out to Wisconsin to get married, which is a story in itself. But an appropriate story, given the goings-on in the senate, is about the drive back. We had been driving all day and into the night. Kellie and Sierra were asleep, and I was finally [...]
Untold Tales
So I have all these stories that I tell all the time, and it occurs to me that I’ve never blogged them. So here’s the first of what might end up being a series. A while back I was carrying Jared into his bedroom to put him to bed. He was sort of sitting on [...]
An Open Letter to Republican Politicians, Re: Your Sex Life
Dear Republican Politicians, Since it seems that each and every one of you have a secret gay sex life, don’t you think it might be time to come out of the closet? I mean, I don’t care if you want to stay in the closet, I really don’t, though I find your hypocritical voting records [...]
An Open Letter to Josh Barnett, RE: UFC 74
I just sent this email through the contact form on Josh Barnett’s website: Hey Josh, Loved what you wrote about Randy – except the part about you being the rightful champ. If being the champ was important to you, why didn’t you fight clean? Anyway, I’d love to see you fight in the UFC, but [...]
BoingBoing Bettered
The good people at BoingBoing have upgrade to Movable Type 4.0, and with that upgrade comes the return of comments. The new site has an improved look with better readability and (to my eye) fewer ads. In addition, they’ve hired Joel from Dethroner and Gizmodo fame to run BoingBoing Gadgets, a new sub-site focusing on [...]
