16 years ago, I was a young, impulsive, foolish man. Somehow, despite being so young, and so impulsive, and so foolish, I did the best thing I’ve ever done. 16 years ago, I decided to throw my lot in with this awesome woman who was pretty and charming, witty and funny, smarter than anyone I’d [...]
Today was partly a travel day. We started with a breakfast at the “boathotel”, then made our way to Brugge station to catch our train to Brussels. One our later, we arrived at Brussels Centraal, then a short hop on the metro to our hotel, an awesome fancy schmancy affair that offers rooms at a [...]
A decidedly more relaxed pace was decided upon today, since yesterday we were simply exhausted, and even 8 hours of sleep didn’t rejuvenate. So, after a nice breakfast at the hotel, we made our way into town at a leisurely pace. We had a false start as I realized I left my camera and credit [...]

I am sitting here, upon the umpteenth viewing of the Kutiman video project called Thru-You. If you have not seen it, you must, but I’ll summarize it all the same.
This man has created musical and video compositions mixed together from various videos gathered on YouTube. To be clear, he’s not mixing in video with existing [...]
I have a special wish.
It’s not one that will ever be realized, but imagining it makes me happy in all my happy places.
I just wish that for every spam message that annoys someone, the person who generated that spam message gets a slap in the head.
Nothing violent, nothing injury inducing. Just one of those smacks [...]
