Just as soon as we started describing Twitter as a micro-blogging/text-messaging tool, a well-oiled jealousy engine, and a scalable narcissism platform, it seems to have evolved into something beyond all that. Judging by my list of favorites, as well as those of others, Twitter has become a venue for sharing your profanity-laden sexual innuendo with […]

As a society, we have a moral imperative to protect the cultures of indigenous tribes such as this one, heretofore unmolested by the modern world. For if we do not preserve their unique languages, where will our next crop of great domain names come from?
The Gallery of The Awesome II
May 23, 2008 – 10:11 pm
I have journeyed far and wide of late, from the hot and dusty reaches of eastern Washington to the harshly lit bowels of Wal-Mart. In these journeys I have seen Things, Great and Amazing Things that Thrill the Senses. The incredibility I have seen is such that it is worth another visit, yes, a return […]
Quantum Entanglement – Part II
May 11, 2008 – 10:20 pm
This is Part II. Read Part I. As I mentioned earlier, Siskiwit and Rosco were unintentional BFF. When I launched Rosco I wanted to preserve the link structure of Siskiwit, because people were still way into searchin’ for and diggin’ on that stuff. Siskiwit had a long and colorful history of publishing platforms, but a […]
Quantum Entanglement – Part I
May 11, 2008 – 10:02 pm
This is Part I. Read Part II. Over the last few weeks I’ve been working diligently on a few personal web projects, and what you have in front of you now is the most recent incarnation of Daneomatic, which was launched last night. There’s also a new version of Brainside Out, which has already been […]

Yesterday: Kiteboarding. Beer. Late night with friends. Today: Kiteboarding. Beer. Late night with friends. More like this, please.
97 Miles to Kentucky

While speaking to some friends recently I realized that I have been unnecessarily vague about our plans for the future. This ambiguity came purely by accident, and it will likely come as a disappointment to know that I have not been subtly manufacturing a story arc of impossible genius. Rather, it’s this damned fracturing of […]
Familiar

It’s been over a week since I watched Into The Wild, and the convolutions of my brain are still busy processing it. I was prepared to be consumed by a brilliant fire of jealousy, but in the end I was completely blindsided by the familiarity of the story. The parallels between our journeys, our desires […]
Load-Bearing
April 10, 2008 – 7:37 am
After finishing some client work this evening I intended on watching Into The Wild, which just arrived from Netflix. For ten years it has been one of my favorite books (its challengers include Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and The Rand McNally U.S. Road Atlas) and I have to admit I was a little […]
Objects Are Not Closer Than They Appear
March 27, 2008 – 10:34 pm
In Bloomington, Indiana there is a University, namely Indiana University Bloomington. Near this Place of Higher Learneding there are Places of Higher Dwellering, where people sleep and copulate and make Cup ‘o Noodles over hot plates. Some of these hot plates are closer to campus than others, and thus are in high-demand. They are demand […]
