Yeah, that’s right, I’m unemployed. I got laid off rather unceremoniously last Thursday. The company I had been working for is slowly going out of business, which means that, instead of saving us all the agony of waiting in our offices for the inevitable, they’ve just been gasping along, letting go of a few people [...]

For those of you who didn’t know because I never bothered to tell you, I turned 30 last week, which means I’m only 60 years and 7 houses away from becoming John McCain. Which is depressing. So, as you can probably imagine, I’ve spent the morning doing what any person facing their own mortality square [...]

Hey, had you heard the good news? They found Bigfoot! Now, I realize you might be a bit skeptical, what with Bigfoot being the crazed delusion of a bunch of inbred mountain people, but seriously, for real this time. See, here’s your photographic proof:

This Bigfoot has ceased to be. It is an ex-Bigfoot.

Last week saw the first annual Sod Conference (patent pending), when Nate and his wife were in Bismarck (which, as was agreed to be all attendees, should henceforth be referred to either as The Biz or ‘Smark) and joined me, the admin, and infrequent blogger Kelly Hagen for drinks at the local drinking hole. Much [...]

With all the talk in the news about Next Year’s Presumptive President of the United States Barack Obama and Next Year’s Presumptive Unwilling Admittee to a Retirement Home John McCain, not a lot of ink is being devoted towards anyone else in the presidential race. But Erik, I hear you say with my superhuman Internet [...]

Nicholas Carr recently said we’re (yes, the Royal We) too connected to the media these days. This idea glares at me every time I decide to enter what passes for a Drinking Warehouse: a high-ceiling echo-chamber with twenty-four different televised sporting events, juke-box blaring, everyone at the said tables text-messaging one and all, and [...]
