Hide from the Color Blind

Isi sends me updates from the science department regarding cloaking. Apparently, it is relatively simple to obscure objects from specific wavelengths – like a copper disc surrounded by an electromagnetic field. Unfortunately, the only thing that’s particularly useful for is hiding from someone who, say, can only see in a single color. Oh, and I… Continue reading Hide from the Color Blind

Women’s Jeans Suck

For Christmas this year I decided to go in over my head and do some shopping for women’s jeans for my wife. I took the advice of several other females – some at work, personal friends, and family. I learned a volume about women’s fashion designs and the marketing evil behind it. I also learned… Continue reading Women’s Jeans Suck

‘Twas the Night Before Yule

‘Twas the night before Yule, when all ‘cross the heath, not a being was stirring; Pagan, faerie, or beast. Wassail was left out & the alter adorned, to rejoice that the Sun King would soon be reborn. The children lay sleeping by the warmth of the hearth, their dreams filled with visions of belov’d Mother… Continue reading ‘Twas the Night Before Yule

Bella Lingerie, not just for Women…

Bella Lingerie saw their first male customer today…shopping for themselves. Krista took care of the gentleman in the most professional way and treated him just like any customer. She even offered a personal fitting, which he declined. He had some pretty specific needs in mind, which I guess anyone shopping for a man-bra would have.… Continue reading Bella Lingerie, not just for Women…

As a Christmas gift from Santa Clause, I recently found out about a pressure regulator valve near my water cut-off (city water) that was set too low. It was a… Continue reading 9 Years of Pain End Well

Bring on the Cold, Bring on the Fire

Winter is here and although it doesn’t exactly feel like it at the moment, I am nevertheless preparing a man-size fire pit in the backyard to enjoy during the crisp nights. Nothings says relaxing like sitting around a big fire outside and burning yard scraps. The whole design is based around a 6’x3′ piece of… Continue reading Bring on the Cold, Bring on the Fire

Christmas is a Time for Family, the Black Mafia Family

My Jewish friend at work, Mr. Smith, brought to my attention a Creative Loafing series about the Black Mafia Family (BMF). Just in time for the holidays I learned about a brotherhood so rich in…well…ice, scrilla, green, snow, and other hip-hop terms I’m learning. The whole nasty crew started up as small-time drug dealers and… Continue reading Christmas is a Time for Family, the Black Mafia Family

Dan Zanes Concert

Saturday was our big day for the Dan Zanes concert followed by yummy food at the Varsity in Atlanta. Hard to top that! Balthazar didn’t get quite as much out of the concert as we had hoped; he was tired and hungry. But he did get to hear his favorite song, Catch that Train!, before… Continue reading Dan Zanes Concert
