Finding Satisfaction Without Purpose October 07, 2006 -- I saw the new Dane Cook / Jessica Simpson movie, Employee of the Month, last night.

Islamic Craziness October 02, 2006 -- I finally had the chance to sit down and read the Pope’s recent speech that caused an uproar around the world. It was interesting to see how little of the speech actually referred to Islam, and how the quote he... Infrequent Updates September 28, 2006 -- I must admit that blogging is a come and go proposition for me. Some weeks/months, I have tons of stuff to write about, and others, well, I just don’t have much to say. And I guess that’s how things are... When Is It Gossip?

Exploitation September 11, 2006 -- I’ve begun to realize over the past few weeks that modern American society is built upon the exploitation. Here’s why: As I was driving to Fort Worth a few weeks ago, I passed a number of billboards for the Texas... Facebook's Big Blunder September 06, 2006 -- In one day, Facebook's valuation has likely dropped 50%. Why, you ask? Because they created features which undermine the whole culture of Facebook. Facebook unveiled a few huge new features yesterday morning called the "News Feed" and "Mini Feed," both... An Ode to Friends September 05, 2006 -- I noticed one of the most interesting and unsuspected sights as I left work today. I noticed that someone's continual and interesting bad habit had been washed away. Gone in a a heartbeat. Of course, I wouldn't have noticed this...
