At first, I thought this was a joke site. But then, I watched the video on how to fold one… and wow! How awesome is this thing? Check out the Pocket Mod. Give it a whirl by clicking on the button on the top right. And on that page, check out the video. I passed…
This morning, as I was waiting for the train… I noticed a couple standing across the tracks, on the opposite side. The man looked over and, apparently, saw my train (the one headed downtown) turn the corner. He quickly kissed his wife/girlfriend, and then walked down the stairs and over to my side of the…
Many months back, I mentioned to Ben that I had been looping Sufjan Stevens’ Casimir Pulaski Day incessantly. He mentioned to me that the lyrics to that song were quite good, and had moved him on more than one occasion to sadness. At the time, I was only really hearing the music, the notes. “Listen…
Sorry, I don’t have anything for today. Worked until a little after 10PM, and just walked in the door. Going to scrounge for some food and then call it a night.
It’s about ten til midnight, and all I want to do is pour myself a glass of Scotch and re-read old poems. Right now, I could stay up another 2-3 hours, re-reading stuff. But I know tomorrow is a big work day, and I should head to sleep. Some days, I just hate acting like…
I was at work late tonight, and so today’s entry is kind of brief. Instead of going back over the past few days and doing updates, I’m considering printing out my poems again, and just looking over them. Good god, has it been over a year since I tore down those poems? I really need…
Ben started singing this today, after I was geeking out a bit with my new hard drive. Damn you, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies! Your marketing strategy has apparently been lingering in my brain all these weeks.
A few years ago, I purchased my first LaCie portable drive, so that I could have all my files (both personal and work-related) on my person at any given time. That first drive was great to have around, and I can’t imagine not having it with me, at all times. In the past few months…
I’m not quite sure who was in the studio today, but they brought their own sound boards. Justin and I got off the elevator, and were greeted with this. One of the guys asked us to wait while the band finished up their sound check, so we twiddled our thumbs for about 5 minutes, just…
by David Citino To clothe the Creator in robes of goldand dress up Mark’s meager bones,which their ships had stolen from Alexandria,the Venetians loaded their churchwith three miles of mosaics,portraits of gaunt and haloed saintsdressed to kill; an enchanted forest of marble columns of every hue;constellations of porphyry and jasperswirling on the floor, as many…
The poem (below) is one that I came across again, on the plane right to Columbus. Though I’ve read many of David’s poems, this one stayed in my mind the whole weekend through.
I was in Columbus this weekend, to attend David Citino’s memorial service. We showed up close to when it was scheduled to start, and Matt and Juliet and I found ourselves in the back of the auditorium. The seats had already been filled, and the entire event was standing-room only. The entire setup was very…
I’ve heard of this party, but never really attended – until this year. My friend Mike throws an annual Ring the Bell party, that typically involves a bell, a lot of group/outdoors events, and a general pop culture trivia quiz. Oh, and a crapton of beer, too. In years past, the bell has been one…

For those of you unfamiliar with the bet that Chris and Mike made, suffice it to say that some of the biggest results of that bet hinged on either the Red Sox or White Sox sweeping the other team. Well, as fate would have it, the White Sox swept the Red Sox. You can read…
