Anyone with even a simplistic understanding of computers knows that they are broken into two basic categories: PC’s and Macs. The more perceptive of you have also noticed that certain individuals often find the need to aggressively identify with one of the two. Such emotional devotion would seem more suited to a cult than aContinue reading “Apple Snobs”

There was a very brief period in my life when I sold vacuum cleaners door to door. I would do anything to get a foot far enough inside to make the best pitch I could while the poor sod I was trying to sell to was forced into rudeness just to get rid of me.Continue reading “King Dyson Sucks”

As special event days go, I feel Halloween is not really measuring up to its full potential. Yes, the sense of obligation amongst the general public is fairly universal when it comes to the practice of handing out treats when costumed individuals arrive on the scene. No problem there. My issue is with what isContinue reading “Trick or Treats are Forever”

There are a few things that I dream about having in my home some day. One is a breakfast buffet, laid out fresh each morning by a chef in a white puffy hat.

The immediate impact of the TV commercial knocked me over and infused me with its attitude, going straight inside my brain and linking tight two words: Cadillac and cool. Four hip and sharp thirty-somethingContinue reading “Cadillac Cool”

I bought new toothpaste the other day. That may not seem like much but choosing a paste has become an extremely stressful, bi-monthly event in my life. I’ve been a Crest guy for a long time. It used to be easy. There was Crest, Colgate and maybe Aquafresh, and then the orthopedic brands like Sensodyne.Continue reading “Crest Professional”

I am sympathetic to people with health problems. I have health problems too. Tylenol 3’s have pulled me through some pretty tough times. That said, I have no general problem with the people that make the drugs either. They have a product, and have spent millions to research it. Heck, they paid all those folksContinue reading “Drug Dealing Inc.”

I am a heterosexual male in my mid-thirties. I like sports, prefer jeans and T-shirts, love junk food and harbor a secret desire to own a John Deere Gator for no other reason than to drive it in circles around my backyard.
