Stuff you should know, stuff I should remember.

  • New Curse Word for 2008

    Came across a new curse word on a discussion board. It is a portmanteau of two nasty words crammed into one delicious one that isn’t profane to say but gets the meaning of it’s parent words wrapped up in a freshly baked burrito of seething resentment. The next time you need to rail at someone, […]

  • Online Reminder Services: Forget Forgetting Forever

    Technology has made it possible for us to do more things – to get more done. And now that we’ve managed to cram in to one day what used to take us three or four, our next challenge is remembering all the things we need to do. Over the years we’ve used all sorts of […]

  • Mind Mapping: Brain on Paper

    I love to use mind mapping. It’s fun, easy, and a wonderful way to add a bit of creativity to everything we do.

For what it […]

  • Sincerity, Skepticism and The Secret Movie

    Rose asks: Andy I really don’t know about you! I’m 45 yrs old and not hardly ever a skeptic of almost anything or anyone, but you however I’m skeptic about. Why because James Ray is the producer of the movie about the Secret and it seems more to me that your simply making prophets off […]

  • Barry Manilow Drinking Water

    At the Hilton (next door to Blogworld) they have  Manilow gift shop with a freezer case full of Manilow Bottled Water. I mean really, where do you go after that? This is how empires collapse. 🙂

  • Blogworld Friday Morn Report-Out

    Pajamas Media may on the opposite side of my political spectrum but I am thankful they threw a great party at The Joint bar at The Hard Rock Hotel. We were all supposed to wear pajamas but I didn’t want to pack one more set of clothes so I just wore jeans and a nice […]
