I miss summers spent in the pool or at the beach. As a kid, we had a big pool that we practically lived in during the summer. Nowadays, my summer beach experiences usually consist of wrapping up to keep warm on the foggy San Francisco shores. In the spirit of times past, here are some [...]

This blog post does a great job of telling it like it is:
So Controller John Chiang says the state has enough money to pay its bills until September. Capitol insiders are saying that a June revenue spike has given the state some breathing room. Yet here’s what the governor had to say with a straight [...]

The Right (and before that, the Clinton camp) have been trying to portray Obama as an elitist who is out of touch with the middle class. McCain’s campaign manager Rick Davis said this recently:
Only celebrities like Barack Obama go to the gym three times a day, demand “MET-RX chocolate roasted-peanut protein bars and bottles of [...]

For any of you in the creative field, you totally know the pain this poor designer experiences. We’ve all had clients like this. Designers and namers (hi, that’s me!) are like peas in a pod.

LOL. OMFG. I love the Onion!

EARTH—Former vice president Al Gore—who for the past three decades has unsuccessfully attempted to warn humanity of the coming destruction of our planet, only to be mocked and derided by the very people he has tried to save—launched his infant son into space Monday in the faint hope that his [...]

I bought my new iPhone this weekend. And, living up to the promise I made AaronB in June, I have now made political contributions equalling the total amount of my iPhone. Last week I made contributions to Obama, the DNC, the DCCC, and the DSCC.
Today I made another contribution; this time to Equality For [...]
