Needz to LOL

Friday, July 17th, 2009

One of the tricks to staying sane(ish) during a time of stress is to find ways to make yourself laugh. With that in mind, here are a few links that had me laughing this week: The Awl’s White House Flickr Feed commentary by Ana Marie Cox and Jason Linkin. Go back and look at the [...]

UC Protest Response

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

Lordy, lordy, the day I’ve had. I have a blister the size of a dime on the back of my foot because I had to walk 4 miles across town because of an unannounced detour on my crosstown bus and a delay of over an hour between the bus I should have been on and [...]

Pirates Beat Ninjas

Monday, February 16th, 2009

Okay, this whole “sleep through the daylight hours” thing I’ve been doing lately is not cute anymore. Sure, it’s fun to play video games and watch movies while everyone else is asleep, but then I miss out on an entire day of voting in my guest debate with Craig at Puntabulous. Apparently, some people doubt [...]

Assorted Tidbits

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Random bits of news If you’re in New York City on February 21, please join the rally for the Coalition to Stop the Arrests. For several months, NYPD has been targeting men who have sex with men in a bogus prostitution stings out of adult bookstores. Whatever you think of these types of business, this [...]

Make Your Own Font

Monday, February 9th, 2009

My buddy Ryan from San Francisco alerted me to this cool new site (via google reader share function – if you use google reader, add my google ID “tyreseus” to your gmail chat contacts to start sharing with me). If you have a printer and scanner, you can create a truetype font out of your [...]

Holding Out for a Hero

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

I see there’s a new hero factory meme going around. With almost 5 years of blogging under my belt, I’m starting to feel like an elder stateman, recalling “the first time” these sorts of things were all the rage. At any rate, here’s my new superhero self: Astonishing? Really? Although the new one has catchy [...]

Picture This?

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

It feels like time to do another round of blogger introductions. This time, I’m singing the praises of photobloggers I follow (defined as people who primarily, but not necessarily exclusively, use photos to drive their content). First up is Alan Bennet Ilagan‘s self-titled blog. Voted “best dressed man” last year in the DC Metro area, [...]

Don’t scare the little guy…

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Sometimes I forget that not all my blog friends know each other. I don’t always point out the blogs I read and recommend, so I’m going to make more effort at linky lurve. One of the relatively recent additions to my blogroll is Hotel Tuesday by Enrico, who also makes a point of leaving comments [...]

Vick’s NyQuil Hibernation

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

Ken discusses taking a cat into the snow and suggests an awesome idea: She would have nothing to do with the snow or the cold air, and kept looking back towards the door, perhaps measuring whether or not she could make it back inside if she jumped. Which is really how I feel when I [...]

Another short TGIF post

Friday, July 18th, 2008

Hooray for Ewan McGregor hugging nekkid tattooed guy for no special reason. (Click on the pic for McG without pants and the interview) I have one goal this weekend, my penultimate in the city. I will get laid. I’ve been busting my ass in the gym for three months, quit smoking, studied for and scored [...]
