Ladies and gentlemen the time is almost upon us to sit in our favorite chairs and waste three hours of our lives watching self-important people celebrate how awesome they are. That’s right, we are talking about the Oscars! We know that Billy Crystal won’t be enough to keep the average member of…

A not so "dumb review" of the Portlandia opening... →
I’ve got the day off work, and I love Portlandia.
Caleb Shively cuts to the point of what makes the open so cool. Portlandia episodes start with a cold open that usually makes very little sense, besides the first episode its not clear where the show is set, and in many cases if there are even regular characters. Jumping from that manic cold open to the chill Washed Out theme song and...

I helped make this!

The guys offer smart suggestions, debate the merits of crowdsourcing for corporate gain or otherwise, and discuss a news article the illustrates when being “smart” or “clever” becomes just plain idiotic.

The one with the knives? I think I reblogged it. The problem with feminists is not that they don’t have logical standards, but that they think that they only apply to other people.
Privilege? You can’t say you don’t have it, because the privilege…

Goodbye, Squarespace
As you may have noticed (ha!) I switched my main site to Tumblr after having used Squarespace for about a month. Its nothing against Squarespace. In fact, I would recommend SS to just about anyone who wanted a “serious” site that they could build a brand or portfolio on. The ease of use and total control is exceptional. Their Android and iOS apps are also top notch.
But it was total...

Humanitarian Tech Support
I had a pretty good discussion with a coworker today. She was recalling starting out as a secretary, using floppy drives to load her word processing program, and of course, remarking about just how different thigns are today. I regularly hear from staff that they feel like they are simply trying to catch up to Technology (like its this monolithic “thing”). The subtle undertone being...
