Working on the weekend
Just taking a moment from working on the weekend to remind myself why I work:
Not Happy? Change Something!
I was a vegetarian from around the time I was 13 to around the time I was 23. That’s a whole decade where I did not eat meat. It’s kind of funny to think back at those days – especially when the happiest day of my week is the day that I get to visit [...]
George’s Check Ins Across America
The great thing about the Internet is that you can revisit your past. Like a time capsule, it contains nuggets of information long forgotten, only to be uncovered. I recently stumbled upon Weeplaces – a Foursquare visualization tool. It shows your entire timeline of places that you have checked in. Here’s a visualization of my [...]
Random List of 5 Thoughts from this years BlogHer
I was talking to my friend Sugar Jones about how this year’s BlogHer was “different.” She smiled, started to bounce around to the music, and simply said – “We’re different. We’re older” and proceeded to dance her butt off. I smiled and realized that she was right. The first few days of BlogHer had me [...]
My Personal Dagobah
I went to the movies the other day – the theater on 2nd Ave and 31st street. This is a section of town that I hate. It reminds me of the past. Of ex-lovers. Of disappointment and fear. In the iconography of my life, this section of town is my version of the cave on [...]
Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright
Well, it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe If you don’t know by now An’ it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe It’ll never do, somehow When your rooster crows at the break of dawn Look out your window and I’ll be gone You’re the reason I’m trav’lin’ on [...]
The iPhone background is the new Wallet Photo
The more I show my iPhone wallpaper to show inquisitive people what my girlfriend looks like, the more I’m realizing that the iPhone is like the new “wallet photo.” Technology is ever evolving and changing the way we socialize. While I’m not talking about tech nostalgia per se, but it does get me thinking about [...]
Me Write Pretty One Day
“Writing is pain. I’m not here to make it less painful for you. I’m here to take you to new levels where you will experience deeper and different kinds of pain.” – Pat Mouton, Liverpool High School English I started writing this post 15 days ago, when the most influential teacher in my life Pat [...]
The Blues
I spent most of yesterday staying dry in my house and painting my living room. It was actually a fun project and, since the living room neighbors my bedroom, necessary to bring some color to the downstairs part of my apartment. As you can tell from these two pictures, the walls were in dire need [...]
Oh, Alessandra…
I am in love with Alessandra Torresani. There’s really nothing more to write than that. But….if you want me to write more, I can talk about how this non-Battlestar Galactica watching guy has really taken to the show Caprica. The episodes are compelling and interesting. The plot lines seem immense – you’re not sure where [...]
