The Blogenning v3.0

So I have been stirred from my traditional languor by a bunch of assholes my friends in the Blogenning to attempt version 3.0 of this agreement. For those of you reading this blog for the first time, I suppose a little history is in order. The Blogenning was originally an agreement made by my friend...

Little Saint Nick

Not many people know that I am named after St. Nicholas. This is what my mother used to tell me come Christmas, anyway, but in the past several years I've not had much occasion to think about it. In this time of contemplation (which I covered in a previous post) it randomly popped in to...

New Year’s Reminiscences and Ruminations

Over at Time with Tom, which I lovingly refer to as Twit, Tom has a post up with his thoughts on New Year's Resolutions. In honor of that, I'm stealing his idea and writing my own in an effort to carry on the conversation. All in all I agree with Tom's sentiments. (Yes, I know,...

“The Knowledge, it fills me… it is neat!”

I don't want to make this a link blog, however there are occasions where there's something I really feel compelled to point out for just how cool it is. As it stands, there are quite a few things I've been geeking out over lately, so I thought I'd share: DIY Kodachrome Manufacturing Equipment: Occasionally something...

They’re Coming…

Yes, I know. It must be tiring to read socially progressive posts from people in Massachusetts. However, I'll try to keep this one brief. My friend Jeff let me know that the [opinion redacted, because if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all] members of the Westboro Baptist Church are going to...

Blogenning Limericks

In lieu of having something actually useful to say, and since I owe a post for the blogenning, have some nonsensical limericks to tide you over. There once was a man they called Tom whose faculties all had long gone he fell in a hole and started to roll and ended up in Vietnam. There...

Website Update

I've been designing websites for myself, and for various things I've been involved in, since high school, and the one common thread they've all held is that I've never finished the content for them. Oh sure, I'll get the visual design pretty well squared away (to varying degrees of success), and I'll put up a...

Delaware Trip 2009

So I was afforded the opportunity to escape the Greater Boston Area for the first time in many, many months by my good friend Ian's father's addiction to roller coasters. Now granted I was also afforded this opportunity by being employed and being able to take vacation days, but in the end the impetus for...

What The Fuck Is Wrong With England?

Today's post was going to be a nice recap of my trip this weekend, and how wonderful it was to see old friends (and meet a new one), but that needs to be put on hold to talk about this. There are a lot of jokes made about what England is doing with CCTV and...

Rollin’ and Tumblin’

So, as Ian pointed out, I'll be travlling this weekend down to Dover, DE (with a pit stop just outside NYC to visit Rachel) to visit him and paticipate in only the best quality schenanigans. It's really nice to consider getting out of Boston for a bit. As much as I love it here, and...
