Watch all the cameras in Houston as the storm approaches. I have to admit it — I’m freaked out. On Monday I was walking out of the courthouse after inquiring about my defensive driving situation. That would be the situation where I’d rather just pay the fine than take the class. I decided I’d still […]

Standing on the median at the Houston Intercontinental Airport Terminal C pick-up location, I could only gnash my teeth and seethe at the incompetence that was on display. This guy directing traffic — I like to call him Mr. I Have A Penlight And I Can Use It To Direct Traffic — was accomplishing nothing […]

Here’s a change of pace. I decided I’d start publishing my Prague video journals that I filmed starting back on July 26, 2003. I’ve got around two hours of priceless footage — or so my dog tells me. I start off with an introduction given while I’m in a Canadian airport. I had to whisper […]

Yesterday I was marveling at how fast and efficient Philadelphia’s SEPTA regional rail system has been for me. Today I was wondering how long the ”switch failure” was going to hold us up. Answer? Fifteen minutes. We miss the bus connection when we’re more than eleven minutes late. This causes people to whine out loud […]

A friend of mine from Houston sent me this CNN interview of a hurricane Katrina survivor in Biloxi, Mississippi. Be warned — this is a heart-wrenching interview. If you have a few dollars to spare then please donate to the Red Cross by clicking here. We now return you to your regularly scheduled Super Genius […]

I’ve got a lot of friends with SprintPCS that have the long system caller instructions message after their message. I hate this message. I want it to die. Whenever I call someone and hear their voicemail greeting, I dread having to sit through these same intructions yet again. So, if you’ve got SprintPCS, follow these […]

I’m watching the VMAs. Lots more music this time around. Nothing has happened yet along the lines of Madonna making out with Britney and Christina, but I’m still entertained. Johnny Knoxville has my same potential hairstyle. Hmmm. I think it’s time to hit up Style of Man. In other news, I went out last night […]

The numbers are getting impressive as I continue to get older here on Earth. As of tomorrow I’ll have rotated around the sun thirty-six times since that fateful Wednesday afternoon in 1969 when I escaped the confines of momma firma. I’m trying to be eloquent, mmmkay? Another anniversery worthy of mention is that I’ve had […]
