White Elephant

Where does this term come from, ‘White Elephant’? This is my first experience with a party of this type. It should be an interesting experience. It is being organized and sponsored by the managers and supervisors at my place of employment. My boss is unable to attend, but he gave me a few tips in […]

Sad Day

A sad day for Stereolab fans everywhere. They are one of my favorite bands. My buddy Doug introduced them to me in High School, and they have powered many a drive to the mountains during college. I never knew much about them, I didn’t know any of the bandmembers’ names (until today), but I always […]

amazon.com and your sanity

I’m going to miss one of my goals for the holiday shopping season. But just barely. And with good reason. I was hoping to not step foot inside of a mall, major retail store, etc. in search of Christmas presents this year. All the people, clamoring for the latest and greatest, storming Wal-Mart when the […]
