There is an evil book out there called the Four Hour Workweek or something stupid like that. I shall forgo googling the exact name because this book is pure evil. It was brought to my attention through several conversations with potential lotophagi. The basic idea of the book is that you should create a life [...]
Cliches are awesome. I hate to beat a dead horse, but they just help us understand things. Yes, they often take up more than their fair share of space. But would you really want to live in a world where there were not certain arrangements of words that provided a meaning that connected it to [...]
I am sure you all know about the major address going on today. Not the state of the union from POTUS. This is from god or Steve Jobs as some call him. Apple just announced the iPad. It is a giant Ipod touch. Little has been so hyped since the segway came along to replace [...]
Everything for me now is a countdown to an ambiguous time when I hear back from Boulder. I don’t care about financial aid. The motto around here is “follow the drinking gourd” for a few of us. I am going to give my all to these last few months at KAUST and then move on, [...]

(this includes rare butterflies from the Amazon that surely could not survive a flood) Question 2: If you heard God (a burning bush, booming voice from the sky, [...]
Some people think wearing your swimsuit is considered naked. I belong to the camp that believes wearing only socks is a tricky gray area. Naked to me means nothing.
I grew up watching Letterman because Leno seems like a made-for-family sell-out and my parents watched Letterman. I transitioned to the Con-zone (Conan O’Brien) in middle-school, Stewart in high-school, and Colbert in college. Today I watch Stewart/Colbert every day and catch Letterman and O’Brien when I can. I have missed about a dozen Colbert Reports [...]
This is the next step the hallowed history of SNL spin-off movies that have brought us Wayne’s World that catapulted Mike Meyers into be giant green monster with fellow former SNL alum Eddie Murphy. I love Will Forte’s character MacGruber, the loser variant of MacGyver – a man who can save the world with a [...]
Bless Denver’s airport for having free wireless, albeit crippled by ads. Boulder was wonderful. After a few months in the desert it was nice hanging out with Rose Alumni. It was in the 40′s and sunny all but the day I left. My applications are done. They have a big star on the side of [...]
