Yes, it’s puerile. Yes, it’s gross. Yes, I probably shouldn’t link to such a base web page on my site, but here I’ve gone and done it.
Why? Because my wife has been to a bachelorette party, and so have countless other women out there, and if they’ll suffer no worse than some [...]

Seriously the most amazing thing I’ve seen in weeks. The below video was created by a Norwegian bloke using expertly edited video samples of himself playing several individual hits on a drum kit, and notes on a piano. He otherwise doesn’t know how to play drums or piano, but clearly has an ear [...]

After a fun and humorous discussion with Patrick and Chris B., I decided that I’m going to start a “column” on my site called “Ask Dan.”
This originated because of my apparent ability to talk about any subject. What a lot of people don’t know (but my friends are aware of completely) is that I’m [...]

Huzzah! Scapegoat or not, Rumsfeld resigned as Secretary of Defense today, and Bush accepted.

Woot!

Yes, I joined you at the polls today. I’d like to believe I [...]

Time yet again for another shameless plug of my brother’s writing. Head on over to his blog and check out his recent worx.

Prepare yourself for a blistering rant on our political environment later today. I’m pretty much fed up with the national system and the “citizens” who “participate.”
I did, by the way, vote this morning. But I didn’t vote on the Senate race. More on that later.
My wife pointed me to a website today called DontVote.org. This site provides a quiz about major political figures during which a quiz taker tries to identify political icons and their titles, as well as sort them out from some distracting celebrities.
The intention of the site, stated by the group itself:
DontVote.org’s mission is to [...]
