Murphy’s Law
Contrary to popular belief, Murphy’s Law states: If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of those ways can result in a catastrophe, then someone can do it. I just thought you’d like to know.

Resignation Letters and Final Episodes
Ever since I joined the real work force (I had a sometime job at 13 and a part time all through high school and I don’t really count them), I always carried an undated, but signed resignation letter in my wallet. I can’t remember why I started, but it was always something very basic “To…

Relatively busy day
I have been working on freelance reporting project and the latest proof has been sent to my customer’s customer for review. I don’t expect to hear back from them for a few days so I have been working on some personal/network stuff. Today I posted the latest episode of the BoxxOnline Punk Rock Show. Actually…

Good News On The Horizon?
As you may remember, I am unemployed. The afternoon of the day I was laid off, gas prices started their recent decline. Being the self-centrist that I am, I have decided that the decline is due to the fact that I have nowhere to go that will use up copious amounts of gasoline (like a…

The first of many hard days
Stephen’s first day of kindergarten and first day riding the bus with his sister. I want to warn him that the world is a cruel place for someone like him. He is handsome at five years old. Not just cute, but handsome. He is smart. At the Open House at his school, the other parents…

Two observations
1) I think that I have been cast as the Morton Downey Jr of comic book podcasting. I have more people sending me emails that they love the rants that I do than ones telling me that they like or dislike my opinions. I’m not sure how I feel about my opinions, likes and dislikes…
