Could someone please explain to me how “imma” got into our culture’s general vocabulary? Really, “imma?” Give me a break… I don’t even understand what it means. A ghetto contraction for “I’m a” or.. “I’m going to” … ? and to think, we make fun of the British for calling fries “chips”…
“hand tool stuck photoshop”
I don’t know if this is a windows-only Photoshop problem, but every so often the “hand tool” will get stuck. What I mean by stuck is that even if you select another tool, the cursor you are stuck with is the hand-tool cursor. When this happens you can’t do anything as the hand tool basically […]
this is why CBS isn’t doing well
I’m watching Andy Rooney complain about how he has too much time off when 60 minutes isn’t filming in the summer. “I spend too much money…” “I’ll bet I’d add ten years to my life if I didn’t have to take so much vacation” Right, that is certainly what all of us in this economy […]

There was a thick fog over the coast last night. So thick the moon wasn’t visible. The ambient light reflected off the fog lit up the sand brighter than a full moon ever could. I’d always thought this part of the beach was just the southern tip of Santa Monica or the northern tip of […]
times are changing
and this website soon will too. Last week I designed the look and layout for a new website. Byron has been trying to drag me kicking and screaming into the modern website business. “Stop using TABLES!” he says. Rather than try to figure it out by myself and take three years to redesign it (I […]
Surprising results
In 24 hours I was surprised with tickets from two different people. The first was from Sam and the the second I’m told I’m not at liberty to talk about yet, but you’ll read all about it in three months. Sam bought us tickets to L’effleur des Sens. I couldn’t really figure out what it […]
yes, yes it is
Yes, my friends… Family Guy just reenacted the concert scene from Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey. I’m sure I was one of about 50 people that got the joke….
