I know, I know: this album isn’t exactly hot off the presses. But until now, at least from a web log perspective, I have remained quiet on the matter. In a word, this album is excellent. It is one of the best rock (yes, I said ROCK) albums I have stumbled upon in the last … Continue reading “Greenday: American Idiot (CD)”
A friend of mine recently emailed me the following question: “We are looking at getting a TV and I was wondering what your thoughts are about TVs. We were looking into about a 42″ or 50″ HDTV. We were looking at the LCD Sony and also the Samsung with the DPL stuff. We only want … Continue reading “Rear Projection Televisions: LCD vs DLP”
I have decided to compile here a list of my favorite freeware/open source applications. For simplicity’s sake, I will limit the list to that software running on Windows since it remains the most prominent operating system. You might be surprised to find there is a lot of freely available software that is as good, and … Continue reading “Freeware / Open Source Applications”
So a company named Dubai Ports World is based in the United Arab Emirates and wants to buy six U.S. ports. We’re opening our borders to terrorists. Everybody run. It’s funny–well, laughable, anyway–how we can outwardly hold American ideals to be so important to us only to roll over on them at the slightest whim. … Continue reading “Maritime Terrorists”
Well, everonward recently lost its biggest fan. That’s sad not only because that person happened to make up a large percentage of everonward’s fan base; it’s sad on a personal level, too. Pointless post? Perhaps, but I certainly don’t think so. Well, Mort…looks like it’s you and me.

The ease with which themes can be changed means I may switch up the appearance of the site a bit more frequently, but I’m kind of partial to its current design.
Oh, wait. Yes it does. Check out this stellar piece of scientific reporting I pilfered from CNN.com (Nule, you may insert sardonic CNN jab here). The article was discussing the possibility of future asteroid impacts with Earth: “Former astronaut Rusty Schweickart holds a 3-D model of an asteroid near a spot on the globe … Continue reading “Journalism Never Annoys Me”
Surely, you have heard the words before; perhaps even out of your own lips. It is not uncommon to hear folks around us complain about some thing or another as not being fair. Fairness is often an abstract concept to us, I guess; I think we are sometimes careless in its application. There has been … Continue reading “It’s Not Fair.”
Let’s say you buy one of those clear plastic containers of potato salad at the grocery store, bring it home, and put it in the fridge. Fine. No big deal. Now let’s say you get around to eating it and notice the lid looks pushed out from the inside, as if something in the container … Continue reading “Household Tips Vol. 1”
In regards to my health insurance, I opt out of HMO in favor of a PPO. HMO’s just seem a little too structured for my taste; I prefer the more free and loose feel of the PPO.
