So I’ve finally gotten around to playing Forza 3. I know it’s the previous generation, but that’s what my budget supports right now. I didn’t have an Xbox360 when this came out and by the time I got one, my driving time was taken up with GT 5 on the PS3. It turns out to…

It seems some jokes have a shelf life. Apparently, people are done laughing at the Occupy (Camp) Wherever movement. Now, like “Train-wreck” Charlie’s one man show, it’s time to get them off the stage. The protesters have proven their irrelevance. Two months into their protest, the only people who care about their pet issues are…

To anyone not offended by it, I hope you’ve had a pleasant Halloween. I have to be honest, this has been my best in years. Mostly because I don’t have hordes of fifteen year olds asking for the “scariest” movie at Blockbuster. It’s a trick question. The answer usually isn’t the same from one person…

Since losing my job with Blockbuster, I’m always on the lookout for new ways to save money. With the help of the fine people at Occupy Whatever, I’ve come up with a great new plan. Normally, my family and I would drive very long distances to set up our campsite and then later tear it…

With no idea what to write tonight, I went and visited TED.com to surf for inspiration. I didn’t come away with the killer idea for my blog. That’s okay. I found lots of things to make me think, and they might lead to tomorrow’s post, or the one after that. No. Tonight I want to…
