Right off the bat, I’ve done a dumb thing. By calling this um…blog…entry what I have, it looks like I’ve set up a comparison between myself, a joke writer (to be generous), and David Foster Wallace, a guy who was a really real writer to the realest real degree. A hyper-literate person…

Motto, Mantra, Manifesto
This will be of interest to about 5 of you, but I wanted to spew some thoughts out and put them somewhere I can come across them quite easily, as a reminder that I’m trying to turn over a new leaf here.
So, indulge me…and if you don’t feel like reading, no skin off my nose.
The last 6 months have been trying. Wait, it’s been longer than that. The last year has been...

Following Facebook’s recent revisions to its privacy policy, many users are lashing out against the social network, angry that deep personal details they share with ex-co-workers, friends of friends of grade school friends, and people they met once during college orientation may now be shared…
Lyrical Break for 4/6
Song came on my iPod - gave me an idea to share a new set of song lyrics I like every day.
So, to start off, here’s Fiona Apple’s “Sleep to Dream”
I tell you how I feel, but you don’t care I say tell me the truth, but you don’t dare You say love is a hell you cannot bear And I say gimme mine back and then go there - for all I care I got my feet on the ground...

“When VHS arrived, the format was forgiving enough to allow the studios to transfer many of their titles to tape directly from the video masters they had already made for television distribution. Many of those titles disappeared in the transition to DVD because studios felt that more obscure films wouldn’t be profitable enough to justify striking new prints and preparing new digital...
