The restaurant was filled with booths spiraling about the room with a simple open space in the center. No one knows why that space was open; some say the architect intended to put a fountain there; others claimed it was for live music. But it was wasted space.
It was a busy Friday evening, and the [...]

Have you noticed the intro screens on DVDs? They’re funny if you think about it.
The first one is the, “Don’t copy this or we will sue you and send you to jail.” Then you see it in French and sometimes Spanish. And other times, you see the fancy “FBI Antipiracy Emblem” and a bunch of [...]
Today was one of a handful of amazing days that Houston experiences every year. Sunny. Dry. Not too warm (60’s and 70’s)…it’s just a day where you’re glad to be outside. And even better–I got to play a little sand volleyball in the great weather…
But as I was driving with my window down this afternoon, [...]
I thought we won the war in Afghanistan…

Every day, I’m bombarded with more and more “Web 2.0″ announcements. Every new program or service has been branded 2.0, and the ones with AJAX (not the cleaning product) get some sort of awe usually reserved for deities.
I just don’t get it.
Did I miss something, but I can’t remember the gears shifting from 1.0 to [...]
I picked up a Calvin & Hobbes book a few days ago and read through most of it. It reminded me of the genius of Bill Watterson and the clever dialog between a six-year-old and his stuffed tiger.
It seems to me that Watterson may be one of the best (at least my favorite) writers of [...]
We went to Hasta La Pasta for lunch today. The food is good, but not exceptional…but the service makes the difference.
We waited for 20 minutes to get a table–something that is not too uncommon for a Sunday lunch. And after we ordered, the bread wasn’t quite done yet, so we waited a few minutes for [...]
First of all, congrats to the Aggies for making the NCAA tournament for the first time in nineteen years. We had quite a season, and it’s great so see us finally have some success in basketball. I’m watching the game now, and I have to admit that I’m please with how we’ve come out…

“I want to hang out with Joe–he’s so cool.” Or, “I want to hang out with Sarah–she’s so neat!”
Those are two phrases that fit within the average middle school student’s vocabulary. But those are phrases that die sometime following middle school and preceding college, right?
