Shame

Saturday, July 30th, 2005

I used to be considered the good-grade getting, goal-achieving, opportunity-seeking, law-abiding, God-fearing child destined to go far. Not to boast, which is to say that I will, I acquired quite a list of accomplishments in my 21-years despite much adversity. Apparently none of these things matter once you tell your family and friends […]

Explicitly Me

Saturday, July 30th, 2005

Yes, I am gay. I know that I have denied it before, but never willingly. This post explains my journey, ushers in my new journal design (soon), and sets free four years of private entries (soon).
On various levels throughout of my life, I was always aware of my homosexuality. Initially, I treated […]

Charity Bands

Sunday, July 24th, 2005

Lance Armstrong will forever be remembered for one thing: starting a rubber wristband craze. (Yeah, there is that whole seven straight victories of the Tour de France thing, but eww… France.) The popularity of Lance’s noble Live Strong campaign spawned a gang of uninspired imposters. Apparently all the non-profits got together one […]

Police State

Saturday, July 23rd, 2005

Arthur’s 2005 Mazda RX8 proved to be a rather delightful chariot of choice for my family outing this weekend. It loves to cruise around 85 MPH. particularly on 65 MPH interstate highways. Unfortunately, going 84 MPH on I-84 is illegal and a !@#$%^& cop reminded Arthur of this fact.
After smugly writing a ticket […]

Bang!

Friday, July 22nd, 2005

Hello from Lynchburg, VA! Embrace the obviously implied, but reluctantly not defined, meaning of the lyrics below because I need a big hug.

I’m coming out like a .45
Spinning like a Wurlitzer on overdrive
Feeling like electro glide
Touch down satellite, feel all right
Tonight, return of love
Return, return of the singer

– Return of the Singer by Kevin […]

Crash

Wednesday, July 20th, 2005

I didn’t write about Star Wars (meh), War of the Worlds (good), or Charlie & The Chocolate Factory (*amazing*), but I will write about Crash. Easily, Crash is the best movie I have seen this year. Crash mixes over-the-top but imaginable racial tension with real humanity. No heros, no villains, no central star […]

Green

We live too fast. Our cities are not organic. Cleaner energy revolutions take time. I couldn’t agree more.

A630 and iSync

Despite what I previously blogged, you can synchronize your Motorola A630 with Apple iSync over Bluetooth! Thanks to Richard Feindel for showing me this hack.

2012

Wednesday, July 6th, 2005

Congratulations to London on winning the 2012 Olympics location. Interesting how the IOC picked America’s partner in the war on terror over it’s vociferous opponent.
