    Models and Me

    I get back to my building and reach into my back pocket. I dig for the fob that opens the front door, but can’t find it. Each pocket gets patted in anticipation of the familiar key-jingle noise, but I don’t hear it. I wait for someone else to come into the building and I take…

  • From Carnivore to Vegan Overnight

    I’ve mentioned before that I have become a vegan. It’s now had such an impact on my life that I’m going to write a whole post explaining why on earth I’d become a vegan, and why I’ll be a vegan for life. First, I should say that the term “vegan” isn’t great. It’s usually associated…

  • Oops

    Yeah, so I forgot to mention that I’m on a cruise so there won’t be any posts for a week. The upside is that I have a criminal amount of free time, so I’m going to whip out a few posts for posting later. Highlights so far : We arrived at our cabin and the…

  • Tynan’s Ultimate Privacy Guide

Some may say it’s because I’m eccentric and weird, but it’s at least partly because of the crazy new laws going down in this country. There is an excellent chance that all of your e-mails and IM conversations are…

  • No Passion

    I love failure. When it occurs, I’m pretty indifferent to it, but as a concept I love it. Failure lets you know that you’re doing something wrong. It shines a light on a personality trait that needs to be fixed,one that probably would go unchanged if it weren’t for failure. People who fail and get…

    H to the Izzo

    Monday – Jay-Z announces that he’s doing a 7 stop tour in one day. I look for details / tickets and there are none of either to be had. Tuesday – The first tickets start showing up. I e-mail everyone posting them, but they’re always sold. Wednesday – More tickets on craigslist / ebay. I…

  • Thanks for Coming to Karaoke!

    Before I start this post – thanks so much to people who came to Karaoke. It was mostly people I already knew, but one reader, Curtis, came. I thought it was totally awesome that he read about Karaoke here and decided to go. Even better, he nailed Guns ‘N Roses’ Welcome to the Jungle. Also…
