Be who you are, like what you like, and do cool stuff. Haircuts, Haute Couture and Heavy Metal. December 18, 2014. I admit it: I was thumbing through a copy of. While waiting to get a haircut. I am not a regular reader. Is definitely not metal but the only other options were two issues of. Was the logical alternative as it’s a magazine for men.

Be who you are, like what you like, and do cool stuff. Puppies, Rainbows, and Nihilists. June 27, 2015. I’m feeling much better now, thanks to nihilism. Recently, I have felt, shall we say, less than inspired at work, but a strong dose of meaninglessness and existential skepticism has really improved my attitude. This week, during my lunchtime run on a steamy hot day when I was feeling despondent about work, I dialed my iPod to an episode of Radiolab. You might think I found this all mind-numbingly depre...

Be who you are, like what you like, and do cool stuff. November 10, 2016. The problem with continually being on the lookout for new ideas means that I don’t often make pronouncements or declarations. Typically, when I have made up my mind about something, I soon after come across some new piece of information, some new idea, that makes me think I was mistaken, or, if not mistaken, at least incomplete. My declaration requires clarification. Hate, mysogyny, and racism are not cool. If you can get through t...

Be who you are, like what you like, and do cool stuff. Casey Jones, You Better Watch Your Bank Account. May 15, 2015. I understand that the tickets are not $33,000 each, face value; that is a secondary market ticket broker price. I am not opposed to capitalism, and I understand that the right. In metal terms, that would be like seeing Mötörhead without Lemmy playing bass and croaking Ace of Spades. If you didn’t get to see the Dead with Jerry, you missed out. I’m sorry. By the way, I think ti...Nice I ne...

https://anddocoolstuff.wordpress.com/2015/08/01/grilling-and-the-first-law-of-thermodynamics

Be who you are, like what you like, and do cool stuff. Grilling and The First Law of Thermodynamics. August 1, 2015. I’m going to start giving meat thermometers as birthday presents. The best gifts are the ones you didn’t know you needed, and it has become apparent that my friends need meat thermometers. You can ask someone how long it took him or her to run a marathon, but the answer will be useless in providing information about how long it will take. Vinyl is a type of plastic. I got another metal-cla...

Letters to a Young Poet. Ask yourself in the most silent hour of your night: must I write? Yes, I must. Despite how frustrating, stressful, and crazy-making it can be, I must write. That’s why I keep doing it, for crying out loud! As a kid, I thought of chores as pure mindless drudgery. Now, I understand that chores ...

Be who you are, like what you like, and do cool stuff. No Time to Fold Underwear. June 6, 2015. Once we had finished discussing the week ahead and our underwear I pointed out that my boss had scheduled a meeting at 12:30 pm I asked if the meeting was really necessary. He thought it was important but told me I could skip it. He knows my lunch hour is sacred, but not for dietary reasons. I recently read an article by Jim Benson on his Personal Kanban website. In which he says,. Makes that impossible, so I ...

Be who you are, like what you like, and do cool stuff. On Writing and Pay Toilets. June 20, 2015. I am embarking on a new writing project. I intend to spend the next three weeks focusing on a topic that is much on my mind of late. I don’t know what will become of the finished product whether I will share it with you or keep it to myself but I feel compelled to spend time working on it. There are two reasons for my compulsion: frustration and a desire to learn. How would I explain it to my mom? You are co...

Be who you are, like what you like, and do cool stuff. May the Road Rise With You. August 15, 2016. I’m not sure if those reflections are particularly profound, but it’s all I could come up with from the last five days on the road. In terms of spending time with my daughter, it was a great trip, something for which I will always be grateful. And many thanks to my sister- and brother-in-law for giving us rations and quarters for a couple nights. You are gracious and accommodating hosts. August 1, 2016.
