How To Know If You’re Getting Old
Consider these following facts to know if you are getting old:

Youth Is Wasted On The Young
Living with my grandparents while I was growing up, I heard quite a few old timey sayings from them and their friends. One saying that has stayed with me through the years is “youth is wasted on the young”.
When I was younger, my take on the saying was that it rang true but the meaning [...]
I Can Say Fuck On the Public Internets!
And the world didn’t explode.
People are nazis when it comes to self-policing their names online. Many people hide all of their activities under various pseudonyms.
Under their own names, they are only willing to do super bland & inane activities like create a LinkedIn profile or write an Amazon review. Many of these same individuals then [...]
Disguising Your Online Identity is Pointless
In this post, I am discussing hiding your blog with a pseudonym… not your illegal downloading activities.
95% of my blogging friends disguise their blogs so people can’t figure out who they are by just looking at the blogs, nor can people Google them and find the blogs. People generally disguise their blogs because they think [...]
Tradition is Evil
My title, “Tradition is Evil”, may surprise and upset you. Human nature is to avoid change and cling to the status quo.

Suffocating Existentialism
Amazon had good ratings on a book, “The Stranger” by Albert Camus so I bought it. Reading it took only about two hours tonight and I found it to be a fascinating book about a man who kills another man and goes on trial and is condemned. Throughout the whole ordeal, the man just does [...]
Fremont Solstice Parade: Naked Bicyclists
I attended the Fremont Summer Solstice Fair yesterday and had a blast… lots of sun, hippies, drinks, and fun. I actually sadly missed the nude bicyclists, but I did see about a thousand of them in Portland last weekend.
I do have a question though: As much as I like naked bicyclists, isn’t it against the [...]
Automakers Collapsing as Bankers Steal Billions
America’s core industrial base is being gutted by thieves on Wall Street. Detroit is turning into a ghost town while big bankers on Wall Street who paid themselves billions of dollars in bonuses receive trillions more in government bailouts. Unemployment is skyrocketing and blue collar Americans are getting shafted by the fat cats. No one [...]
NYTimes Business Page = Government Page
Today is a sad day for freedom. The front page of the business section for the New York Times is just a list of what the government is doing to redistribute capital. Entrepreneurs, creatives, founders, innovators and freedom-lovers everywhere should cry.
Like my cheesy pic? :)
