WatchEdward vs Jacob B.S. shouldn’t be in my theaters, and now this dreck is showing up in Congressional confirmation hearings? Seriously, Minnesota WTF?!?!?!?
I like Minnesota. Really it’s a very nice state. So why did they elect this…this….Idontevenknowwhattocallher!!!!

Worst Email Opening Line EVER!!!
So I just got an email that started:
“Please allow me to introduce myself, I’m a man of wealth and taste…” -The Rolling Stones
Then the guy goes into some marketing pitch about how great he is and how great his company is and what they can do for my small business, etc., etc., etc.
OK, seriously, people, learn your source material. While I do love the Rolling Stones...

Today (or yesterday, or recently anyway) Apple posted a section on their site all about the greatness of HTML5 and how everyone should embrace it immediately. (Great, awesome, let’s see what you have...

Type “zool”, get zoology

Working Out and Being Healthy
Ok, I told you all a week or so ago that I was going to start working out, eating healthy, and all that other stuff. The goal, to get ready for the Tough Mudder competition.
Well, I actually have been doing it. I’ll admit that I haven’t worked out everyday, and I do plan on changing that in the near future. My biggest excuse for not working out is due to a drastic schedule change...
WatchI love the Shit My Dad Says Twitter feed. It’s hilarious. Apparently CBS thinks so too because they’re making a show of the online dialogue. The show, however, doesn’t look that great.
Sure, it has Shatner, and yes, that does make any show awesome by default. But seeing the preview, this one just looks forced. It’s as if they’re taking the quotes from the...
