shameless pimpage
I got a card in the mail at my office this week, hand-addressed to me, but I didn’t recognize the handwriting or the return address.
It was from Rebekah Phelps of Extra You, which seems to be the only apt name for her business. She redecorates your rooms, gets your bills paid on time, [...]
Avon Walk Today
avonwalk
If you see hordes of women in pink or blue walking through your neighbourhood today, do not be alarmed.
They are part of the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, a two day, 39 mile fundraising wander around the DC metro area.
While I am not sure where they’ve come [...]
sallie mae 10k breakfast
sallie mae 10k breakfast
After finishing the 23 Annual Sallie Mae Fund 10K in a smoking fast 43:54 (thats 6 seven-minute miles) what would be your post race breakfast?
Krispy Kreme for me, thanks.
Before you judge, I was not alone. Donuts went long before fruit or power bars. And next up for me, [...]
Geeks in the House
Look at me, not the screen
How do you know you are in a Geek conference? When you look out over the audience and there are more open laptops than open minds.
Here’s a back of the room view of a geek conference in the Fairmont Hotel. Click on the [...]
funny and cute
funny and cute
The Geek Comedy Tour 3000 is surprising not only for it side splitting comedy, it also has comedians that defy the “geek” profile. Take these three for example. They are funny and cute.
No word if they have a social life though. They probably spend [...]
oh it hurts

Calling out Atari Glove at the Geek Comedy Tour 3000, we are laughing so hard it hurts.
Wait, is Ultimate Fighting Championship really Klingon porn?

This man is the first to ever to use “What I like about tentacle porn is..” in a sentence.

Meet BVEGAN.
BVEGAN was on Route 28 with me the other day and I couldn’t help but notice her enthusiasm for animal issues. She loves her shelter dog and opposes puppy farms, and kudos to her for it. She’s a vegan and thinks it’s the humane alternative and, well, I don’t share her convictions [...]

Well, well, well.
Look what the cat dragged in.
Apparently the bribery charges against Duke Cunningham are going a little bit deeper today to include “hospitality suites” at the Westin Grand over on Capitol Hill and the venerable and scandal-ridden Watergate hotel, according to the Wall Street Journal:
In recent weeks, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents have fanned [...]
More »2,500 Wayan’s in America?!
Today I found out that I’m gonna represent 2,500 Americans in the US Census’ Current Population Survey.
Wow! I feel honored with the responsibility of representation, representation I wish I could have in more than just the US Census, like oh, I don’t know, maybe the US Congress!
Politics aside, the Census interview was [...]
Mr. Clooney Comes To Washington
George Clooney is here in DC today, exercising his right as a citizen to petition his government for redress. Of course, it’s a bit different when you’re a movie star today, and Clooney’s goal today was to convert his star power into, well, actual power. He joined Senators Brownback and Obama to talk [...]
More »Sorry Brett: No Nats Owner Today
Brett Haber, sports anchor for Channel 9 news, said yesterday that the Nats would find their new owner today. Pretty much everyone and their cousin came out and said that the SportsCenter-anchor-turned-half-decent-radio-morning-show-guy-turned-sports-anchor was full of crap. The business day is done, and the Nats have no new owner, but this did manage to [...]
More »Murky Coffee declares war on bloggers!
Well, not exactly, but they’re sure on a run of taunting the online-obsessed. First it was their cruel and mean April Fool’s blog entry, then yesterday they took a stance against the Ricky Henderson-esque use in the blogging world of “This Blogger” as a first-person pronoun.
“This blogger.”
Sometimes, it’s “This blog.” Sometimes, it’s the name of [...]

2006 participating restaurants promise the taste of something old, something new [...]
Geeks being funny… on purpose

More »XM In Trouble?
DC-based XM Radio may be in a pile of trouble, after Federal Regulators were called in to check to see whether or not the company has violated laws concerning billing and marketing. Worse still, the company also put out its earnings statements for the first quarter. Did I say earnings? I meant [...]
