So my garage is clean. Really clean. I had some free time earlier this week and I clean the entire thing. I dumped out any box of items, cleared out old drawers, went through cabinets, swept and mopped the entire thing, and even purchased some new storage cabinets and tool racks...

What a great start on 2010. I've got a storage shed of two for you to clean. Are you interested?

While taking some time off to enjoy the holidays, I stumbled upon an online article describing a very public and very embarrassing software flaw in the latest HP Computers. The problem came to light in a recent YouTube video...

I fly regularly. There has never been any doubt about that. This week has been the first week in quite some time where I haven’t sat down on an airplane. The time at home has been nice. I ended up counting it up and realized I went on 69 flights this year. Lucky for me, my last one was a fun one. ...

I turned on the TV the other day to catch the last half of the film Juno. I really enjoyed Diablo Cody’s unique take on teenage pregnancy and love the first time I saw it. ...

Last night I went to a performance of DL Hughley and the Improv Comedy Club in Tempe, Arizona. I really enjoy watching stand-up comedians perform live. As I’ve mentioned in my public speaking workshop, stand-ups can be some of the best examples of crafting a phenomenal speech. ...

I had the pleasure of seeing Bill Cosby perform at the Flint Center in Cupertino. That guy is absolute class and really knows how to entertain an audience. It was shortly after his son got murdered, and Cosby also told some touching stories about him.

As for hecklers, they almost always detract from the show. I saw Bob Saget turn an angry ... See Moreheckler around with so much skill that the guy gave Saget a hug at the end of his set. I also say David Alan Grier get really pissed on stage and have a heckler thrown out. I've seen some horrible comedians (like Jamie Kennedy) who I wished I had heckled, but I'm too polite.

Last night I watched The Blind Side. I found the film to a nice contrast to many movies out there today. Incredibly hopeful, and still somewhat unexpected. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend watching it. But you can see from the title of this blog entry, it isn’t about The Blind Side. It...

When I was in sixth grade, I performed in the musical FAME at my school. Recently a friend posted clips on youtube of the performance, destroying any remaining hope of claiming we put on a good show...
