Aary, Kyle, and I have decided we hate our lives, so we’re going to take a spontaneous trip to Chicago to spend the night fooling around on foreign turf. You can watch us get lost here and text ideas for cool places for us to check out to 262.337.2421. Also, call us if you live in the area and would like to see us. We’ll be there probably until about 10am at the latest.
I finally got myself off of Facebook. I removed any/all valuable photos I uploaded there and made sure I had them somewhere on my hard drives, then deleted the account. It’ll take 14 days of deactivation before it will finally delete, but I can live with that.

I’ll play the devil’s advocate. It’s not like it doesn’t do anything they said it would.
I don’t think it will end up with the market-share that the iPhone has, but I also remember how much distaste almost everyone had for the the iPhone release as well. Remember, when that came out it was a luxury product owned and endorsed solely by the people with a whole ton of...

State of the Union Drinking Game →
Make sure you swing by this site before today’s State of the Union Address.
Setting term limits for Congress.

Discuss.
Are you suggesting turning politics into something where the decision-makers have to be concerned about the future of mankind instead of their individual futures in cushy, government jobs, where they are now allowed to make vast sums of money by selling their decisions to the highest bidder?
Isn’t that blasphemy, or something else kind of awful? Whatever...

That’s the whole reason I use them; proof that I’ve been to college. Although, not a lot of engineering documentation needs them, sadly. I’ve managed to work them into a summary here or there. Ideally, I would have used only...

No one more appreciates a message written with proper spelling, grammar, and FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING KIND AND DIGNIFIED, USE SOME GODDAMN PERIODS TO FORM ACTUAL SENTENCES.
Someone I know just got a lengthy message with no capital letters, periods, or respect for mankind.
[Hint: It was probably me.]

Randy Haddock and NoMossHere posted a chunk of an IBD editorial by Sean Higgins titled, “Obama’s Green Jobs Program: $135,294 Per Job.” Here’s a chunk of it:
The White House announced Friday the awarding of $2.3 billion in tax credits — the money comes from last year’s stimulus bill — to companies to create “green jobs.”

I’m all for supporting Haiti and everything, but twenty networks are broadcasting Hope for Haiti. The thing that network television seems to have forgotten though, is that if a viewer can find something on one channel, they won’t be looking at the other nineteen. Seriously, isn’t twenty channels of the exact same broadcast just a little bit overkill?

Apparently Black People Need To Stop Taking Our...
Someone just tried to pick a fight with me on why it’s okay for people to believe that the south should have won the Civil War. They really just wanted to tear me apart for generalizing that people that think that are dumb asses. Normally I wouldn’t let a generalization like that fly, but to be honest, I really don’t give a horse’s ass about the Civil War enough to bother...

Wow wow wow shit could not get more real. I can’t even joke about this. Except maybe to say that I always thought ‘360’ was Anderson Cooper’s super power that would allow him to go Tasmanian devil on someone’s ass. I guess it’s just part of the name of his show though.
that’s pretty intense… although, while I’m not doubting the validity of this at all, I really think...

Some gifts and donations are so loaded with misguided intentions that you just couldn’t regift them if your life depended on it.

“Friends are just enemies who don’t have the guts to kill you.”
– Judy Tenuta while guest starring on Space Ghost Coast to Coast
I started my day at 1:30am, have about 130mi of driving to do today, a speech to give, a chemistry lab to be at, a design meeting in a different city between the speech and the lab, and afterwards have a mid-term to study for. My success today will be directly proportional to the amount of coffee I drink. So far, it’s not even 5:30a and I’ve downed 4 cups and a Red Bull.

Oh snap - my first Tumblr throwdown! Okay, better now screw this up…
I originally stated my argument with themattsmith to be that ” ‘the entitled chaff’ really are the only ones that can afford to work for free.” I got called out for overstating my case, which, ok, is fair. If you know me at all, I have a...
Oh, you agnostics.

theoutspokenwallflower:
I believe in agnosticism, and all pathways to God. I’m a Catholic, personally. People who are agnostic, though, they just want a God with no strings attached, they want to believe in something and still go out there and sin. Agnostics don’t want a right and a wrong, they just want a safe way to say that they still believe in a Higher Power. I think that...
