What’s in a Name?

I’m getting sick of researchers.

I read this article the other day about how people are giving their babies more unusual names. I’d agree with that seeing as my wife and I have chosen to go with “unusual” baby names and several other parents we know have done the same. Because I noticed that, I [...]


Child Safety Pt. 2

Sure, helmet laws might be pushing the boundaries of the safety police, but they’re just protecting children. It’s the same as the laws that require car seats for ever increasingly larger children. I mean, I don’t think fourteen year olds need a car seat, but what about the twelve year olds? Shouldn’t they be protected?

You’re [...]


Child Safety Pt. 1

We bought my son a bike last week and a helmet along with it. I asked if he really needed the helmet seeing as when he’s on the bike his head only an inch or two higher than normal.

Yes, he does.

It’s got training wheels, so he shouldn’t be whipping violently towards the ground from [...]


POWs

I may be the only person in the world, but I am not a fan of the website People Of Walmart. Yeah, I know, it’s a super popular website that pokes fun at all of those weirdoes at America’s most popular retailer, but I just can’t get into it. It’s not like I don’t enjoy [...]


Goguen vs. Sabo: UFC 110

This looks like a solid fight card. Two have title implications. There’s a  few up & comers looking to take down an established opponent to show they belong in the upper echelon of the UFC. If you’re a fight fan, you should definitely check this one out.

Steve: 138 - 94 (32 perfect picks)
Josh: 134 - [...]


Scales Suck

I’ve never liked the term “overweight” because weight doesn’t mean anything. If I took a man who weighs 900 pounds and flew to the moon where I’d be 150 pounds, is he suddenly healthier? Clearly not. It would seem obvious to anyone who has eyes that weight is not an solid indicator of health. So [...]


Riding the Google Wave

When I first heard of it, I was very excited about Google Wave. What got me was the way it was introduced. The Google rep posed the question, “What if e-mail were invented now, what would it look like?”

It’s an interesting question and their answer, Wave, was a good one. I can’t describe it accurately [...]


Goguen vs. Sabo: UFC 109

Supposedly there’s some big sports event this weekend. I’m guessing that event would be tomorrow night’s UFC: 109. After all, who isn’t interested in seeing 46 year old Randy Couture take on 45 year old Mark Coleman?

If you’re not interested, you are either not a fan of the sport itself or you don’t know you’re [...]


Got your back on this one, P-Bo

As many of my friends and family know, I’m not a huge fan of President Obama. He seems like a decent person, a brilliant politician, and someone who wants to grow the size and reach of government well beyond our current level. To me, the current level is unacceptably large to a people who want [...]


Simple Tips for Nothing

Everyone has tips on how to lose weight. Sometimes it’s good advice, but usually they’re just things that sound like good ideas until you give them a half moment’s worth of thought.

This article is about 50/50 when it comes to advice. 50% ho-hum who cares tips and 50% garbage.

Quit the clean plate club. One in [...]
