A few weeks ago I read on CNN.com that Mary Ann Summers from Gilligans Island is serving six months’ unsupervised probation after allegedly being caught with marijuana in her car. After reading […]

Welp, Michael Busch III will not be doing any further Alltel Geeks commercials. I’m kind of disappointed. He was definitely the best one. It’s said that he didn’t renew his contract because he didn’t want to be stuck as “the sprint geek” for the rest of his career. Personally I think the guy is funny […]

Welp, I received notice that my 20 year high school reunion is coming up.  I went to St. Johns Prep in Astoria NY. I can almost hear the gasp of some of you when you read that. A prep school? Really? I realize that I may not fit the mold of one that was educated […]

Cyber Command is the US Air Force’s newest command. If there was ever a government group that I’d want to be a part of, its this one. How flippin’ sweet would that be .. hack foreign nations all day. I got a call from the library I have been working with for ten years. I’m the […]
