The other night I was playing Dr. Mario on the Wii online when I notice my opponent has chosen to give her Mii a double chin. Why, I ask, would anyone go out of their way to create an unattractive digital avatar version of themselves? If you were playing against people you’re never going to [...]
I volunteered to serve as a judge for an Alpha Kappa Psi business case competition, so this past weekend Bryn and I traveled to Reno for the fraternity’s western regional conference.
Having no experience in judging these sorts of things, it was a pretty cool experience. I was impressed with the analysis and insight offered by [...]
Last week there was a break in the weather and I went to Bear Valley with a couple of Bryn’s co-workers. It was my first time at that mountain, and it was really sunny and warm. The ungroomed stuff was kind of deadly, apparently it had rained to create a nice layer of crust. It [...]
I’ve been spoiled by Bryn’s excellent cooking for almost three years now. Before that, I was more interested in the most efficient ways to get the necessary calories into my body.
One of the best (read: worst) products I found was Totino’s Party Pizza. These little frozen pizzas would go on sale for $1 , and [...]
We’ve all seen cars with custom license plate frames. They’re little bits of metal and plastic to subtly offer other drivers a glimpse into our personalities. A custom license plate holder is a form of self-expression, and I’m all about it.

We had a great time skiing up at Tahoe (Sierra-at-Tahoe, Heavenly) last weekend. It was kind of a blizzard so the camera didn’t make it out of the jacket pocket. There were plenty of high-speed groomers, big bumps, and some soft stuff in the woods too.
There’s a great deal going on at Shell gas stations [...]
When I was a kid, we had lots of art supplies — crayons, markers, colored pencils, water color paints, even pastels — and the holy grail of elementary school drawing: Mr. Sketch scented markers.
Unfortunately I never wanted to use them for fear they’d run out of ink. Yeah I clearly had some issues.
Well this came [...]
We found a height-to-age-estimator on the wall of the kids section at H&M. Poor Bryn, according to the chart, she’s only 13.
It was the summer of 2005. I can’t remember the exact text message my friend sent me, but it was something along the lines of:
“Up $5k for the month.”
What?! I knew immediately what he was talking about: affiliate marketing. Here I was having just moved all the way across the country to start work at [...]
Going to the dentist is like going running. It kind of hurts, but at the end, you’re glad you went.
