Wishful Thinking: Things I Didn't Know: My First... →
Okay, so I’m not actually on my first Mac and usually know the basics but for some reason those keyboard shortcuts always escaped me:
ctrl + alt + cmd + eject -> Shut down
alt + cmd + eject -> Sleep mode
ctrl + cmd + eject -> Restart
It’s actually really useful, you can just press those…

Why We Should Look For Hope
I’ll admit it: I have a daily chuckle at websites like F-My Life. There’s the Schadenfreude aspect to it that seems almost built into us. We rubberneck at wrecks on the highway, point fingers and snicker to ourselves and friends at people on the beach. The internet has given us an amazing medium to share, communicate, and flatten our approach to life and business, but it too has its...
Let's Make Music
A group recently scattered 30 pianos across London. These are legal structures that will be around for the next three weeks, all for the purpose of people to throw off their inhibitions and get down and pass on the joy of music in public.
Anytime you’ve been in a major city, there is nothing but the best chance that you’ve been stopped by a street band. What if, though, you could...

This is beyond disgusting. Proof that, unfortunately, we are still living in a world where ignorance is not only bliss, but if you’re wearing a badge or a suit, you’ve got people to back up your ignorance.
How hard would it be for the El Paso police department to admit fault and put the offending officers on leave? There is absolutely no way someone can be “cited for...
Hemingway: KGB Spy?! →
Well there you go. Ernest Hemingway - yes, Ernest “The Old Man and the Sea” Hemingway, tried, and failed at being a KGB spy. Was he looking for first-hand material, or just bored?
Makes me wonder what Steinbeck was up to.

Alec Baldwin, Jack Cafferty, and the Duty of the... →
Alec Baldwin makes an admirable and sharped-toothed reply to CNN’s Jack Cafferty’s suggestion that Baldwin is unfit for public office because of his lack of a “political” education. He rebuffs Cafferty’s comments and provides a scathing reminder that only those who have done no wrong may cast stones.
It is a ridiculous argument that people who have previously worked...
Turns out that little thing under your tongue can and will tear and bleed.

What legitimate benefit does barring HIV-positive people from visiting the US have? The same one as not letting gay men donate blood? This is atrociously archaic, and reeks of fear-mongering.
