This ridiculous article now circulating on the interwebs intends to “prove” by research that Iphone users are “younger, richer and more productive” than other smartphone users. If you actually look at the data this is another case of interpreting results as creatively as possible. Let’s break it down… Younger: The results show that 30% of […]

Watching Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey…. notcing that the future university site is… Tillman Water Treatment Plant in the Valley. How appropriate. oh – and Primus is in a random set-up shot for the “San Dimas Battle of the Bands”….
Art Walk June 2009
After work I hurried downtown to meet Alan and Sam for the Art Walk. This month was not as good as last month. Strangely, a few galleries didn’t even stay open past 8pm. Here are a few of the highlights and low lights: At one of the buildings (this one had a political exhibit in […]
old man knife
I noticed a peculiar generational gap this morning. In a morning meeting with other “executives” of our company I noticed one of our older guys pull out a pocket knife to carve an extra piece of plastic off of his starbucks lid. #1 I thought …okay, overkill, right? #2 I thought… I know a lot […]

ease up
After I spent quite a bit of time ripping the new terminator last week a very close friend asked me if I was “angry” and if everything “was okay.” One comment after the review on here was that I “love to hate things.” Well, I love to love things too, and for an anti-terminator […]
WTF, southwest?
My friend in Berlin gave me the not-so-good word today that he’ll have another visitor during the time we’d tentatively planned to have me visit in August. As I’m in school right now, my schedule isn’t very flexible, so for now, going to visit him is totally off the plate, at least until next August. So, […]
killing california
California can’t make up its mind. They scare away conservatives (i.e. big business) by ratcheting up taxes and regulations, and then scare away gays by telling them (unlike in other states) that they aren’t welcome here. Pretty soon there won’t be anybody left… there already aren’t enough left to keep our state from going into […]
