There’s some great stuff out there… Most of it is profane. All of it is funny to someone, somewhere.
After June 16th, I may never leave the house until it’s time to go to Vegas.
Architecture is like beauty; its worth is commonly in the eye of the beholder. What may be an architectural treasure to one person may be a derelict ruin to another. Even two architects can disagree on whether or not a particular building or style is appealing. My advisor in grad school, for example, once half-joked […]
I hate when national reporters smooth a quote for print. SI.com and ESPN.com both used the sanitized AP version of San Antonio Spur’s coach Gregg Popovich’s quote about the beatdown they received from the Mavs last night. Not the Statesman, however. The Statesman went with full verbal honestyin printing this from Popovich: “They kicked our […]
So, I work at home 80% of the time. This is useful because it allows me to work for six or so different places, which would be logistically impossible in any other format. That and I sometimes don’t have to shave until 3pm. And when I get fed up, I get to go to the garage to […]

Dee made a post about a woman named Jillian R, a “Phoenix Early Childhood Parenting Examiner” (citizen reporter, in other words) who posted what amounted to a rant on video game players and how they ignore families. My first impression was this is a woman who has dealt with being a “video game widow” in […]
Because I’m a politics geek, and because I live in Texas, and because Texas has some weird-ass laws, here’s a list of some of the crazier ones. There are many many more out there. Now, you need to remember that these aren’t enforced for the most part… BUT THEY CAN BE. In Austin, it’s illegal […]
