If I was on death row, I’m pretty sure my last meal would include ribs.
I’m just sayin.

Open this restaurant on Long Island.
Preferably across the street from me.
Diet No-No?
I just ate a full plate of Monkey Bread.
I’m not sure, but I am pretty convinced that the insulin spike over the course of the next two hours could be life changing.
Born On Dates
I found a case of Budweiser in a garage (I don’t have one) with a born on date of 9/1999.
I think it is safe to say that Budweiser may have saved my life.
I’m glad I’m not a dog because if I were my bathroom would be 14 degrees today.
To bad for you, dog.
Guilty
OK… so I saved the life of the 88 year old woman across the street last year.
She died a week later and to be honest, the neighborhood was always pretty quiet. Especially since her house was the only one that was really “next” to our since we live on a corner.
Now her daughter bought the house and is moving in and I feel guilty because I am not happy about this. Mostly because...
Epilepsy in Dogs
I for one think it is totally unacceptable.
Mostly due to the costs that my family incurs due to the family pet suffering from the shakes.

Enjoy this article curled up with a cup of your favorite brew!

Best Article on the iPad Yet... →
For the first time I am considering dumping Apple, not because I don’t like the products that I have (although I hate the iPad with a passion that is unexpected, yet invigorating… see previous video), but because I don’t want Apple dictating to me how I use machines in my life. If this is the future of computing, I pass.
State vs. State
Steve Jobs gave a better State of the Union.
The content of both repackaged old things as bright, shiny, new, and the savior of all.
I’m bored.

Right now, I don’t see a reason why anyone other than a college student would buy this thing. I have no logical reason for this, but I hate it. Maybe it is the fact that the video is like some type of recruitment for a cult, but there is something deeply wrong here. Maybe it’s that there is no camera. Maybe it’s because I don’t see typing on this as comfortable at all....
“Kindle looks like the odd-man out with their proprietary format now.”

This is why I hate technology.

Apple Just Killed the Mouse

Is this Bad?
My daughters slept till 9:30 this morning.
They went to sleep at 10:00.
I’m really happy with this, but also really scared that I am doing something wrong… but, I mean… it’s 11 hours so what’s the issue?
Regulation of Financial Markets
So this is what I am reading as I study for the Series 7.
Apparently regulation had it’s origins in the Crash of 1929. Since then there has been more and more regulation.
Now, Self-Regulatory Organizations (SRO’s) work to regulate themselves UNDER the framework of the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Federal Reserve Board in an organization called FINRA (Financial...
Apple Tablet? →
Am I the only one that doesn’t feel my life will be incredibly altered by another Apple product?
Seriously, can we all just stop pretending that the next great product is going to make us into the X-Men?
It’s a tool. Period. If there is a better tool, I’ll use it, but I’m going to need at least a year before I even pretend that this (whatever it is they are announcing...
My enthusiasm for the Super Bowl has been lessened.
Question
Have you ever considered leaving your child at the St. Vincent De Paul drop after mass?
“This ruling strikes at our democracy itself, I can’t think of anything more...”
– President Obama on the recent Supreme Court ruling.
I would assume, then, that there was no outside influence on the Healthcare Legislation?
Can we stop taking politicians seriously now?
Demo Day
I am spending the day demolishing the upstairs. Ripping everything out.
Let’s see if I can escape without breaking anything.
The Trifector: Space...the final frontier →
This is awesome.
Bad Habit
My daughter refuses to sleep unless she is on my shoulder.
I only see this as a bad habit because it is ruining my shirts.
Thank God
For the wide screen on my iMac which allows my daughter to watch educational music videos while I work.
I am the epitome of working-from-home efficiency.
Go Ahead, Judge Me
I gave my daughter a bowl of whipped cream for breakfast.

Dear Michael Bay:
A fixed camera is NOT your enemy. It’s just that I don’t enjoy taking Dramamine before watching your films.
Read This and Tell Me You "Can't"
At lunch I caught the end of the 1987 NBA All Star Game. I really think this was one of the last times I truly cared about basketball. Take a look at the list of players who were in this game, see if you can predict the MVP, highest scorer, and highest percentage shooter (HF is Hall of Famer):
For the West:
Magic Johnson (HF)
Tom Chambers
James Worthy (HF)
Hakeem Olajuwon (HF)

I’m pretty darn sure that GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra was a cool movie. I had zero expectations and it fulfilled them… and more.
Well done, Hasbro.
Well done.
If you are a guy going on “The Bachelor”, I think it’s safe to assume that any time a girl says “I’m not this, this, or this…” they are EXACTLY that.
My eldest daughter just hit my youngest daughter on the head.
With a St. John the Evangelist action figure.
Insert joke here…

Okay, come on, you can’t not love that headline. But it gets even better:
Earlier this week, research published in the peer-reviewed medical journal Pediatrics found no evidence that special diets have any influence on autistic children.
This was a blow to some parents of autistic children who had hoped for a cure, but things took a more tragic twist when Diane...
This weekend hasn’t been that great. In fact, it’s been pretty much crappy. Compared to what’s going on in other parts of the world, I still have it pretty good.
That being said, the Jets have an opportunity to at least make the weekend tolerable.
How’s THAT for pressure, Sanchez?
Attention OLL 10.30 am mass participants.
Yes, that was my daughter throwing a fit.
No, that is not normal.
Yes, I will continue to bring my daughter to mass.
