Dizgraceland: The good ol' days
http://www.dizgraceland.com/2015/06/the-good-ol-days.html
A speed bump on the information highway. Friday, June 05, 2015. The good ol' days. Is making me late. Is keeping me waiting. And tomorrow we might not be together. I'm no prophet, I don't know nature's way. So I'll try to see into your eyes right now. And stay right here, 'cause these are the good old days. Carly Simon, Anticipation. It is human nature to wax poetic about the past. After all, what else do we have? My children are in awe that I grew up in a time before portable computers and smartphones&#...

Dizgraceland: It's nothing impersonal
http://www.dizgraceland.com/2015/06/its-nothing-impersonal.html
A speed bump on the information highway. Friday, June 19, 2015. I don't think I'm going out on a limb when I say the Internet has made over sharing a National pastime. I'm just as guilty of it as the next person. Although I don't write much about work and I try to respect the privacy of my family, I still open up about more than I probably ever would have shared with anyone but friends, family, or a private journal prior to the Internet. I am a stranger on the Internet. Though one of my hopes is, that af...

Dizgraceland: Food for thought
http://www.dizgraceland.com/2015/06/food-for-thought.html
A speed bump on the information highway. Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Okay, I confess, I'm one of those people who post photos on Instagram of the food they are about to eat. And as pointless as that seems, there is a method behind my mundaness. First, I think that presenting a well-plated meal is an artform. If you want to scarf down mounds of shapeless globs of food on a platter, go to a buffet. A sign of a great restaurant is how the chef places the food on the plate.

Dizgraceland: A vacation from vacations
http://www.dizgraceland.com/2015/06/a-vacation-from-vacations.html
A speed bump on the information highway. Tuesday, June 16, 2015. A vacation from vacations. Every year I try to take my family somewhere memorable for a vacation. Last year it was Puerto Vallarta. The year before that it was Cabo. Now I am planning this year's big family vacation that will include Legoland and Disneyland. In doing so, I am violating my own guidelines to never go to a place that has "Land" in the title. I can't say I am overly thrilled by the thought of going to Disneyland. As an intr...

Dizgraceland: The evolution of Dizgraceland
http://www.dizgraceland.com/p/evolution-of-dizgraceland.html
A speed bump on the information highway. The evolution of Dizgraceland. Dizgraceland wasn't a fan site. I noticed that other than porn sites, one of the top topic of a multitude of sites was Elvis. So I decided to hitch my HTML cart on the King of Rock and Roll and try and rise above the millions of sites that were caught like a deer in the headlights of traffic on the Information Highway. The mild notoriety brought with it quite a bit of e-mail. Much of it was hate mail from people thinking I was a ...

Dizgraceland: Lights, action, camera!
http://www.dizgraceland.com/2015/08/lights-action-camera.html
A speed bump on the information highway. Thursday, August 06, 2015. Lights, action, camera! The thing about this script is that you'd kind of like to offer some notes to the writer. Maybe the plot line is a bit too convoluted. Or maybe it is boring. Maybe you don't like the other characters. But the writer just looks at you with that blank stare and frozen smile and you know he or she isn't going to accept any rewrites from the lowly characters. Alright Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up. I cant real...

Dizgraceland: Unsafe and insane
http://www.dizgraceland.com/2015/07/unsafe-and-insane.html
A speed bump on the information highway. Monday, July 06, 2015. Is it just me or did anyone else notice the unusual number of news stories of people killing themselves over the 4th by trying to set off fireworks on their heads? It is sad in a very stupid kind of way. And all of the stories I read mentioned their may have been alcohol involved. To which St. Peter would likely reply, "That was a dumb shit thing to do.". Then, "Ouch, " before running off into the night screaming. In this case, you can't eve...

Dizgraceland: I'm just messing with you
http://www.dizgraceland.com/2015/05/im-just-messing-with-you.html
A speed bump on the information highway. Monday, May 18, 2015. I'm just messing with you. I read an article online this morning by Time (the magazine, not Time, my online persona). It's title was "Are my devices messing with my brain? The point that most fascinated me about the article was the concept that focusing on too many apps, sites, or messages affects our ability to focus and finish things. The article quotes Dr. Earl Miller, a professor of neuroscience at MIT:. I'd say my prefrontal coretex is a...

Dizgraceland: My name is not Steve
http://www.dizgraceland.com/2015/05/my-name-is-not-steve.html
A speed bump on the information highway. Friday, May 08, 2015. My name is not Steve. If Steve makes it through the night, he begins crafting more and more weapons and tools. He also can kill the random sheep (unless he has crafted sheers, but he would have had to find iron, smelt it first) to get enough wool to craft a bed that allows him to sleep through the night in relative safety. Why do I know so much about Minecraft you ask? My conclusions about why Minecraft is so addictive to people is that it pr...
