Bullets Over Fondue
Unbeknownst to me, apparently the Popstar and I have a tradition. We eat fondue after seeing a Marvel Movie. We ate fondue after The Avengers, and a year later we dipped our sticks again after Iron Man 3. I discovered this fact through the Timehop app. So here’s a bullet list of things I thought [...]

My Addiction
I recently suffered a change in my health. This change now requires me to take medication daily, to consume copious amounts of high quality H2O, and to weigh myself on a daily basis. There have also been a few… side effects. One of those side effects seems to be a new addiction to tangerines/mandarins. These [...]

About Those One Star Reviews…
I’ve recently gotten a few 1 star reviews on You Called 9-1-1 For What? from readers complaining that the ebook was “waste of my money” or “too short, not worth the money.” Other than the “too short” comment, their review amounts to nothing critical of the content, just that they had to pay a little [...]

The Iron Man Christmas Special
This past weekend I was able to see the summer’s first blockbuster Iron Man 3. I have to be honest, half of my enjoyment was seeing a movie of the caliber at a theater where there was assigned seating, so I avoided the nasty rush of the line to both concessions and seats. This fact [...]

Work Flow
I have recently (since last August some time actually) switched over from a PC platform to working on both an iMac and a Macbook Air. This is a ginormous change for me, ignited by a massive hard drive failure during which some things were lost forever. Archaic back-up systems aside, the loss helped clean my [...]

It’s that time of year when rumors begin circulating in great fervor about the next rendition of the ever popular iPhone. You have rumors from analysts, rumors on release dates, and of course the rumored 13MP rear camera. Undoubtedly more rumors and “leaked photos” are going to be popping up all over the internet in [...]

Bullets Over Ice Coffee
Every morning I get a large ice coffee flavored with French Vanilla, extra light with cream (not milk), and four Splenda packets. On really long days, I’ll get two. Needless to say, I drink a lot of ice coffee. While I’m sipping my daily brew, there are usually quite a few things that cross my [...]

Barnes And Noble About To Bury NOOK?
While most of the world was being entertained by Seth MacFarlane at the Academy Awards (Oscars) the New York Times published an article insinuating that Barnes & Noble will be ceasing their NOOK eReader Device development after what is considered to be a failed Holiday season. Considering the substantial investment that Barnes & Noble has [...]

Bullets Over Black Forrest
One of the things that I used to do in blogging was to do “Bullets Over …” posts. This comes from the fact that I often have numerous random thoughts while eating/drinking/doing something, and the fact that bullet lists are one of the easiest types of blog posts to write. Of course, I would be [...]

Post #Nemo
So the winter storm known as Nemo has come and gone from the city. It was forecasted at its worst to drop 18-24 inches of snow on the city, but in the end it looks like it ended up being around 10-12 inches. While not an incredibly crippling amount, it’s still a significant amount of [...]

On 5 Years Together
Today I’m celebrating 5 years with my girlfriend Poppy. It may sound like a long time, but it doesn’t feel like it was that long of a time. Probably because we’ve had a fun 5 years… Looking forward to the next 55+ fun years…
