Some nights are just going to be bummer nights. Maybe the food you cooked didn't turn out right. Or perhaps your day at the office was rough so there's just nothing better than to have a few drinks and hope you sleep until the following week. I was having a...
OK, what's getting on my nerves even more than how awful and racist and divisive some of the new ads and language the McCain camp keeps churning out is the actual PEOPLE they are throwing out there to spew it. There are many smart, intelligent and well-reasoned republican women out...
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...
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...
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....
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
