Begin complaining about your menstrual cycle and other assorted feminine problems. Make plans with him and stand him up four times in a row. Then, when you show up and he doesn’t: throw a tantrum and cry. Steal his cell…
I now am a first-world citizen: I have high-speed INTERNET! Now I can waste more time… and quicker!
1111 comments to my blog!! Of course, 168 are mine and 257 were imported from an unrelated device… But 685 just doesn’t seem as impressive… # Do you think there’s any way to limit comments on posts to 10? I…

Here’s a question: If you could figure out the definite, true answer to any one mystery of anything, what would you choose? Here are some sample mysteries: Did Bigfoot eat the Lindbergh baby? Did aliens illegally immigrate to the United…
In doing research for this post, I realized that both browsers mentioned are trying to include something similar to this (albeit far less functional) in their next major release. This makes me happy as I wasn’t expecting people to be…

This post continues an idea from yesterday’s post. When I was a kid I was always bad at Truth or Dare. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to share things about myself and it wasn’t because I was afraid of…

In trying to be an innovator (rather than simply an early adopter), I like to keep my ears open about all sorts of cool things. Especially when these things solve problems you otherwise would have to live with. These are…
I like Bush because he’s against gay marriage and likes babies. – Rachel Hampton (an issue voter) This is Pro-Life Topia: the possible world in which anti-abortion forces finally criminalize abortion in your particular country. Now P-LT is just like…
