My List
My list? As any fans of “Friends” knows, Ross had a list. It was a list of women he was allowed to have sex with no matter what relationship he was in. I have a list of my own. My list is very different though. My list is a collection of people I would like to invite to my house for burgers and beers on the deck. It’s a list of people I want to just hang out with. The people on the list strike me as being interesting, but also genuinely friendly. People I would actually like to spend...

Hobbies are fun. People have all kinds of hobbies. A lot of people want a hobby but don’t know what to do. This is a problem. Sadly, I think I’m one of those people. I would like a life-long hobby. Something I can get really good at but never master. Something I can be proud of, but always be challenged by. I’m not really a collector… I’m more of a do-er.

I didn’t sign up for the gouging 2Gb plan so that means I’ve used 130Mb of data since April 14th. Huh? I don’t think so. I signed into the AT&T Website to check things out. I saw that, according to AT&T, I sent 52Mb yesterday at 4:50. There’s a lot wrong there. First of all, I didn’t send 52Mb of anything from my phone, ever. EVER....
Read MoreSniffing out posers
Why, oh why do I have such a limit of patience for posers? I’m really a pretty moderate guy. I tend to let things go and not dwell on them. But when someone is really in my face about things that I know about, it gets under my skin. Especially when it’s obvious that they don’t have a damn clue what they’re talking about. You probably know that I’m a computer guy. I’ll blow my own horn for a second here and say I’m a damn good computer guy. So when someone...
