Texas Hold ‘Em, Dollars Keep ‘Em?
I’m playing poker tonight. I hope I win. I love Texas Hold ‘Em, I just hope Texas Hold ‘Em likes me.

Ring of Fire
I think it would be a great idea to invent a coffee cup whose handle gets as hot as the cup and the water in it when it is heated up in the microwave.
Oh, wait. That cup exists. And it’s in my office. And I resent being forced to have to chose between holding the […]

The Way of the World?
A crazy guy gets a machine gun.
You get a machine gun to protect yourself from the crazy guy.
Someone else gets a machine gun to protect themselves because you are now the crazy guy with the machine gun.

Stop and Smell the Java
If we ever get to the point where we can engineer the smell of flowers, how about a flower that smells like coffee? It can be a big, beautiful flower–yellow, red, blue, orange, etc.–but it would have a coffee smell. Even if you don’t like the taste of coffee, you could still get the invigorating effects of […]

You Say Po-tay-to, I…Riot and Burn Your House Down
Ok, I think we’ve all had just about enough of these stupid riots over the Danish cartoons. I mean, come on, people. Someone offended you. Suck it up and walk it off. Other religions have been way more offended by worse things, and they don’t kick up a temper tantrum like that. There was a […]

I’m a Little Tea, Pot
I had to use the restroom this afternoon, so I thought I’d put a cup of tea in the microwave beforehand so it would be ready when I got done. I grabbed a cup, put the teabag in, and put it in the microwave. Yeah, I forgot the water. First time I’ve done that. As I was in […]

Monday, Monday
Yesterday I ended my workday with a 2-hour long call. I was trying to help a customer set up her email accounts, and we kept running into problems and error messages. Then on the way home, the car ahead of me slowed down, so I slowed down, and as we were going along, I hit […]

A Shot in the Gun Is Worth Two in the Face
I laughed when I read the news. Vice President Dick Cheney shot a guy in the face. You can go to cnn.com or msnbc.com for the story, but basically our Vice President shot a fellow quail hunter, Harry Whittington. We’re talking quail hunting here, so the bullets aren’t huge, and the guy seems to be […]
