Ask anyone who knows me, I have always loved J.Crew. And, I’m sure J.Crew loves me based on how much moolah I hand over to them on a quarterly basis. It’s my one vice… (okay I couldn’t type that with a straight face) uh, one of my vices. In fact, once I came into about [...]

Look what I got in the mail yesterday! A Christmas Catalog. Yes, Christmas. Okay, the whole catalog wasn’t Christmas, but the last 14 pages were! WTF? Christmas is FIVE months away! Nobody but my mother-in-law has even thought about Christmas yet! It’s not even Labor Day, for Christ’s sake (pun intended!)
BTW - do you see [...]

I know, you can’t really tell in this bad photo I took, but trust me - it’s gross. What they don’t tell you when you buy your cool hip white/clear Mac keyboard is that it gets completely disgusting just a short time later. It’s full of cat hair, miscellaneous food crumbs, dirt, grime, dead skin [...]

What you are seeing above is a threat to national security according to the dumb-asses at the TSA. Yes, it is a bottle of duxelles, otherwise known as chopped mushrooms. I bought some in Napa over the weekend while “celebrating”(?) turning 40 with some friends. I was thinking about making a Beef Wellington for Christmas [...]

I just heard on the radio that today is National Donut Day. Who the hell sanctions these stupid holidays? What, the National Donut Board petitions the Department of Frivolous Holidays for an Official Day? (Don’t laugh, there is an actual National Donut Board, although they seem to be kind of secretive for some reason. Hmmm… [...]

So I have a client that needs a website. As I always do, I try and let the client know that I really need all their copy, graphs, pictures, slides, videos and whatever else they are planning to put on the website first. Why do I do this? Because too many times I have been [...]

So I went a little crazy and “rewarded” myself with a pair of expensive shoes from Neiman Marcus Online. I’m no Carrie Bradshaw or anything, but this particular high-end brand of shoes fit my Flintstone Feet for some reason, so when I see a pair I like, I buy. I notice as I am checking [...]

Okay, technically this is not part of my illustrious album collection, but one of my good friends forwarded me a few of what were called The Worst Album Covers of All Time. This one was my favorite. Meet the famed gospel group, The McKeithens.
First off, their name is grammatically incorrect and one of my [...]

So I’m driving home from running some errands today and I stop at a busy intersection and happen to look out the window. This is basically what I saw. (I did not take this picture, but it’s the same thing.) What kind of sheltered life have I lived that I never noticed the 10 billion [...]
