Day One: My Apple Watch

Posted on June 7, 2015 by Steve

The timing was perfect! Somara and I received our watches on the same day despite my order being placed several weeks earlier. This gave us the opportunity to configure them together. The new 1.01 update was already in place. What … Continue reading →

Funny parody of a post card

Posted on June 7, 2015 by Steve

If you can’t laugh at yourself, what’s the point. Plus, I dislike those who only find the misfortunes of others funny. This would namely be Faux News watchers, conservatives, bro’s who still love Adam Sandler and sadly, my mother, based … Continue reading →

Yet another idea I should’ve thought of

Posted on June 5, 2015 by Steve

It’s called Send a Jart which means (in English) Send a Fat in a Jar, I added the cloud above for effect but obviously my Photoshop skills are rudimentary at best. Obviously a Jart is one of those gifts you … Continue reading →

Cat Month!

Posted on June 3, 2015 by Steve

Thank you Jackson Galaxy for notifying me that June is adopt-a-cat month. The funny video makes the argument to adopt a second cat to keep the first one company. I would agree about this despite us going overboard with four.

Finally, an answer on how “dude” originated!

Posted on June 2, 2015 by Steve

A word flung around by surfers, hippies and often the filler word for my friend José, finally has some explanation. I had a feeling it had something to do with the divide between residents in the Western US versus wealthy Eastern … Continue reading →

Tomorrowland Worth Seeing

Posted on June 1, 2015 by Steve

They had me at the mention of Brad Bird directing. If anyone can direct a movie about the future many envisioned during the somewhat more optimistic Fifties/early Sixties, Brad is definitely near the top three. In short Tomorrowland isn’t a knockoff … Continue reading →
