My attention span could give a magpie a run for his money. I love Shinies. I once bought a large basketball shaped yellow citrus fruit , not knowing what was inside , just because it made me smile. Cute, eccentric, in need of medication, you be the judge. This time it is not fruit but […]

Turning on the Tunes

Tuesday, July 4th, 2006

I remember the magic of vinyl when I was growing up. Ol’ Chubby Chase, Charlie Pride, or Don Williams would float up from my dad’s den, accompanied by the static scratch of the needle and record. I was of course not allowed to touch the albums, and trust me he always knew when I did, […]

Because it aint geekin’ if I’m not Drinkin’

Monday, May 1st, 2006

Okay, so there are some really useless gadgets out there that are made with shinnies and swirlies just to get an average attention challenged geek’s interest. Some will glow, some will buzz, some might shoot arrows or quote Star Wrek, but on the average these little gadgets are good for a gag and nothing else. […]
