I rarely, rarely blog anymore, but this awesome news story got me to come out of my, uh, hibernation. (Pun intended...obviously.)Watch it. Now.

I've been thinking about this topic a lot lately. Being a genius and all, this is something that greatly affects me. (I kid, I kid!)No, I was actually thinking about Michael Jackson, which got me thinking about Howard Hughes, which led to thoughts of Rivers Cuomo. (Which is kind of an insane progression in and of itself, but I digress.)Then I started Googling around, and I found this excellent

I had a very interesting birthday this year. Details to follow. But first, I just have to show off this awesome card my friend made me. When this showed up a few days ago, I was like, "Wh-what?" The return address said Schrute Farms. The postmark was weird (click the image to see what I'm talking about). Making matters even stranger, I had received this really cool anonymous gift the day before (

You know what sort of bugs me? How there are so many situations in life where you can control the "bad" side of the equation, but you can't do nearly as much to affect the "good."Like, say you're an athlete and for some reason you become thoroughly convinced that you're cursed or you're jinxed or whatever. Or you start believing very strongly that there's a certain game you can never win, or a

My friend photoshopped this, and it cracks me up. (Scroll down for previous post if you don't get the joke.)My ears hurt. That has nothing to do with anything, but it's annoying. More randomness: It snowed here last night.

Yeah, I know, these kinds of pictures are obnoxious. But for some reason, the cold winter weather is making my lips swell up. Either that, or I'm having some kind of an allergic reaction. My lips puffed up a few days ago, and they haven't gone back down yet. When I went out over the weekend, two people asked if I was using some sort of new lip plumping gloss, and one girl actually wanted to know

Have you guys heard of Project 365?Basically, you make a blog or a Flickr page or whatever, and every single day -- for 365 days -- you take one picture and you upload it. You don't have to write anything, you just have to take one photo every day.Ideally, you upload it that same day, but it's okay to cheat on that part of it. As long as you get a picture EVERY DAY, you're good to go.I'm thinking

I usually don't blog about what I've been up to, but I thought I'd go that route for a change.It was a good weekend. I started things out by heading to a friend's house to watch I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With, which turned out to be a very boring and crappy movie. But we had a great time, anyway -- laughing, talking, making bad jokes about Garfield. (You had to be there.)Saturday evening my

Once upon a time, my friends and I used to have 4-million-and-1 inside jokes about Rod Stewart. It would take too long to explain, but we could seriously find a way to turn almost anything into a Rod Stewart joke.The man is just the root of all evil, I'm telling you.I mean, just look at this video! I realize this was made in the heyday of '80s badness, but c'mon! This is especially tacky and

I read an interesting article recently. (I wish I could find the link, but I can't.) The article concluded that, in the blogsphere, if you don't post something new every day (or close to it) you become obsolete.No updates = no readers.More updates = more readers.That makes perfect sense.But what surprised me was that someone conducted a study and they discovered that bloggers who post extremely
