Today I tried not drinking the coffee.  I have a train-friend that regularly purchases coffee on the way to the station and I spoke with this friend about providing their cup of coffee.  So, I got the AA Kenya with 2 sugars and 2 creams and proudly brought it onto the train.  Train stopped at [...]

Kevin,
One of the most delightful comedies of manners Kevin you passed to me was the time the guys from your WPC whipped out a frisbee and asked anyone if they wanted to play “disc”.  After hearing that I made a number of jabs concerning playing “sphere” instead of soccer and “parabolic surface of revolution” for [...]

I usually purchase a breakfast sandwich on the way into work/school for 2.11 plus tax and use that as my breakfast fortified with whatever I can find in work.  But lately Wawa’s been running a promotion where any breakfast sandwich and any sized coffee is 1.99, cheaper than the sandwich alone so I’ve taken to [...]

Tell me what you think.

Normally, conversation threads on technology sites usually consists of a mix of trolls, opposing experts and techn00bs, but this Gizmodo.com thread was simply amazing.  The article is on a remote controlled vasectomy.  I’ve never seen the phrase “my boys!” used so much.

Hamburg Design Center by OMA from Dezeen.
The Guggenheim in New York is nice but the one in Bilbao, Spain is even nicer.  But between the Hamburg installation and the Atomium I now have a reason to visit Germany/Belgium.  The blather on Dezeen is eyebrow-raising.  The building is composed of 10 modular blocks yet changing the [...]

One of my class mates mentioned that she was born on a flight from Tallinn to Riga, Estonia which are a bit over 100 miles apart.  I find this feet impressive in both that someone flew such a short distance but was able to give birth during that period of time.  She’s a junior so [...]
