If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Remember these commercials? You either loved Smiling Bob or you hated him. I thought these commercials were hilarious at first, but after so many euphemisms for “natural male enhancement” and cheesy double entendres, every time I heard that annoying whistling song and saw Smiling Bob’s unnatural-smiling face, I wanted to reach through my TV screen and punch him in the teeth. However, in a...

It’s time to play: Computer shortcuts I want for real life!

I had a really bad day the other day and sent out a tweet from my phone that said this: This is a game I love to play: Computer commands/shortcuts for real life. It came up in a recent conversation on Facebook with Arno, a.k.a. @camera_obscura, one of my South African friends. He said, “My next few weeks will be much easier if I could uninstall the “sleep” function from my body. And also upload information to my brain.” Amen to that. I’ve played it before briefly...

All I ask for is a frickin’ rotating chair.

As of the other night, yours truly is now a contributor* to a hilarious site for people who secretly (or-not-so-secretly) hate their jobs, Office Evil. My first contribution is currently the featured MadLib on the home page. It’s a memo from your boss.

Fill in the blanks to find out exactly why you’re in deep. *Disclaimer: Potential future employers – Please do not interpret...

We all should know how it works by now — Facebook takes info from your profile & IP address and then targets ads at you in the sidebars. To make it even easier for them to tailor to your consumer needs, if you do or don’t like something, you can rate it with a “thumbs up” or a “thumbs down” and even tell them why you did or didn’t like the ad. Seem fair enough. I cooperate with them and rate ads sometimes, because hey, I’ve actually found some...

I know the last thing you want to see is yet another blog post about the election.

Let’s get it out of our system now: Yay! Go Obama! Go America! Change we need! Yes we can! RA! RA! RA! Now here, have a few LOLcats: more animals more animals more...

Another reason I love Facebook is that you can declare to the world who and what you are a fan of. Some of it is serious, some is downright silly. I am a fan of The New York Times, the Fail Whale, BIGGBY COFFEE, and most recently, Sharpies, among other things. Basically you can be a “fan” of anything. It’s silly, yes, and most “fan” pages aren’t that active, but it’s fun. And then there’s one person who always makes me laugh, every time I see her...
