The 2008 NBA Champion Boston Celtics apparently had no players worthy of being sent to China to play for the US… despite spending the 2008 season wiping the court with the rest of the league. Oops… have I forgotten how successful our more flashy players can be in international play. We wouldn’t want [...]
The following is a discussion snippet from Compassion International’s blog. They recently had a blog post debating transparency versus marketing with respect to the best direction for the content of their blog.
During the conversation I ran into Ashleigh, a 21-yr-old schoolgirl who seemed full of inexperience and strong opinions. For example, [...]
I have received enough feedback about my previous Iron Man post relating to the connection I drew (rather effortlessly, let’s admit) between Stark Industries and Lockheed Martin that I wanted to post about it individually.
And speaking of… did anybody besides me notice that Stark Industries was a completely un-subtle spoof of Lockheed Martin Corporation, the [...]
I just saw Iron Man at the theater. You’ll read some of my criticisms here, but all in all it was a fun and exhilarating cinematic ride. Oh yeah… minimal spoilers, so relax (in case you don’t read comic books)!
The Acting
This was a pure gem for Robert Downey Jr. as he masterfully filled [...]

Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?
- Adolf Hitler… while persuading his generals that a Jewish holocaust would be tolerated by the West
…the Armenian massacre was the greatest crime of the war, and the failure to act against Turkey is to condone it … the failure to deal radically with the [...]
It’s Earth Day 2008 and everyone is talking green - despite the ridiculously hypocritical nature [pun] of it all. I’m not big on the greenies or their leftist propaganda… but I do like this big rock we’re living on. I like it because the chances of a rock just like this to support [...]
I can get easily bored with movies. So much cliché… predictability… canned Hollywood repetition. And - being a musician - I am particularly critical of music-centered stories. That being said… I was delightfully surprised by Once.
I think the movie is one of the best independent flicks I’ve seen. I watched it [...]
So I voted this past week in my New York State primary election. I’m a registered Republican and was given five choices (Giuliani, Paul, Romney, McCain, Huckabee). I guess they left Rudy’s name on the ballet for posterity. Anyways, I voted for Ron Paul.
Why did I vote for someone who [...]
This is a parody piece (done by me in Adobe Photoshop) mashing up the 2004 US Presidential Election by-county map (red vs. blue) with the (PRODUCT)RED campaign for the Global Fund.
Part of the irony comes from the right-leaning “red state” map of the by-county vote breakdown, and the left-leaning political alignment of the (RED) movement, [...]
I can remember living briefly in Orlando, Florida, and watching a non-amusing TV news piece done inside of a shopping mall on the Monday observance of Veteran’s Day. The news crew had found random school kids wandering the mall on their day off and asked them WHY they had the day off from school. [...]
Web designer and developer. Loud discerner. Software engineer and 
Yeah… that one got me good.
