So I have some friends from Minnesota, and I got to say there may be a reason I have never previously heard of Rep. Michele Bachmann, a Republican. Maybe we haven’t heard of her, until Friday, until she decided to unveil herself on TV and show off her McCarthyism techniques. They are pulling out all […]
We all have heroes of one kind or another when growing up. A good deal of my own were pop culture based. And of course, we’re talking late-70s, early-80s stuff here, so it’s not like I had Michael Jordan or something profound here. And to add to that, most of them were based in TV […]
The nonprofit I work for deals a lot with local organizations all over the country. One of those orgs we work with is ACORN. These people have had a rough go of it lately, some of it justified, but a lot of it from the McCain campaign is complete horseshit. I’m really getting tired of […]
Back in April the lady in my life and I went to Paris for a week. She’s been there several times (her grandfather flew paratrooper planes during D-Day and throughout WWII, so her family attends reunions in Europe all the time). It was my first time to Paris, and I instantly dug it in a […]
I’m just making a quick post on something I read today. For those new to the political scene, there was this guy named William F. Buckley, who was the very definition of conservative. I am sure there are statues of this guy somewhere, even if they probably deserve to the be spray-painted over. But he […]
OK, so I have found a new shoe store that I like. Normally I clad myself in adidas shoes, because I find them really, really comfortable ever since my outdoor and indoor soccer days from my teen years. Adidas even did me a huge favor by releasing a line of eco green shoes, which I […]
Thank god Friday is almost over. Not long after the run-in with Naked Co-Worker, I had yet another moment that was just a bit too much for one day. One of the new areas I have explored at work is taping instructional videos to help staffers learn how to do certain tasks in our office. […]
I work in a great office. Not long after starting at CFED, we moved from shite office space over at Union Station to more professional digs at Metro Center. Hell, I even got an office (with a door) out of the deal. While we have our own floor, we sublet it out to two other […]
Thought it was time to share another set of photos that I have taken as part of my exploration into HDR photography. This slideshow is actually the first time I have ever attempted HDR, so it’s cool to revisit these photos and see how my technique began and where I have come from then. The […]
For most of the summer my running/exercise schedule was completely shot to hell. My organization put on a national conference here in DC last month, so I spent the entire summer busting my ass getting posters, signs, flyers, brochures, post cards, programs, powerpoints, banners and all manner of shite put together in time. At last […]
