Ban Comic Sans

You know it when you see it ,usually on a cheesy poster, an invite to a school pitch-in or in an email FWD along with photos of kitties or yet another oh so original list. The time has come to end it once and for all.

Kurt is up in heaven now.

Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Died yesterday at 84. I remember seeing the tattered copy of Cat's Cradle on the shelf of books that for whatever reason were in the basement with my dad's other cool stuff. I later read that book after an interesting high school teacher assigned God bless you, Mr Rosewater . Vonnegut had a way of making you think about disturbing things without even knowing ,until it was too late.

Today it will all be

Web 2.0 Compliant Supermarket

glumbert.com - Supermarket 2.0

I think this is perhaps the perfect magazine.

With a perfect blend of great intersting writing that doesn't assume that those of us who have grease under our nails are all Goobers.
Filled with great stories, cool bikes,cars and everything I like. You will find everthing from profiles of drag boat racers and Hells Angels to writers artists and not just pinstripers but those who do their work on canvas, paper and skin. If you are anything like me you will dig this.

Oh and there's the girls...

Happy Pi Day

Really Swell Day

In my ongoing attempts to be as open and good a writer as Wil Wheaton I want to share that I had the most amazing day. It was unusually sunny and warm. The day was filled with the laughter of kids in the yard, sping blowing through the windows, progress on many projects and best of all spending the evening on the first of what will hopefully be many evenings like it to come.

Dennis Kucinich is Hard Core

Ok I know he has no chance really but man, Dennis is the shit. He really doesn't mess around. Considering the level of direct honesty that comes out of his mouth I really don't know how he has made it as far as he has. It is like he doesn't even want to be president what with all that talk of how the war is illegal, not apologizing for anything he has said in the past, pointing out the oil connections, wanting peace and everything . Doesn't he know how it works you have to change positions all the time to appease whoever you are speaking to and try to please everyone maybe even compromise your ethics and political beliefs here and there. Geeze

Old Folks Lounge

I noticed today that it seems the golden arches have become the hot spot for the 60 something set. The local Mcdonalds even removed the tall tables and replaced them with family size tables in the area of the dining room that was the favorite of the gray set. Everyone was having a great time sipping coffee, watching CNN and munching on Fries. Everyone knew each other including the friendly floor mopping fellow. So if you are getting up there in years and are seeking a good place to hang out head down to the golden arches ,think of it as a non alcoholic, slightly more fat saturated Cheers.

Read Wheaton

I would like to say these things but it seems unnecessary when Wil Wheaton
is doing an excellent job saying it. You should follow these links and read what he has to say. FOr that matter you should just read his blog . I wish I was half the writer he is.

The Problem is Clear

The majority of the American people don't want it . The legislative branch doesn't want it. The Iraqi people don't want it. The Iraqi government doesn't want it. I am certain the soldiers don't want it. Military generals give advice then get fired. I think the problem is clear.

In The Tub

Today I found three girls in my bathtub. A purple haired girl, an olymipic swimmer and a mermaid. Unfortunately they were 12 inches tall and made of plastic. Too bad. The two inch tall kid in the boat looked pretty happy about the situation however.

I like Lego, I like Records, I like this.

Scary Mary

I recently spent some time reading the hilarious reviews on the ChildCare action project Christian analysis of american culture minisrty movie database. These Christian wingnuts are awesome. The only movie they rate a perfect 100 is Mary Poppins . Proving that it is the gold standard in family entertainment. Well. Now what! Huh! Now What...

Malachi Ritscher

I was sent this article and felt compelled to post it here . Please click through the link and read the entire story at iheardyoumalachi.org


Did you ever burn your hand on a stove? Do you remember
the pain of it?

On Friday, November 3, a man doused his body with
gasoline and set himself afire to protest the war in
Iraq . He died quietly in flames. His name was Malachi
Ritscher.

Haven't seen it in the news? Me neither, which is kind
of strange if you ask me, considering that it happened
right here in downtown Chicago in front of hundreds of
commuters during morning rush hour. The only
conventional newspaper coverage to date was a tiny
paragraph that appeared in the Saturday edition of the
Chicago Sun-Times. Since then...nothing.
