This is not a man with a blog.
I’m headed back to Pakistan in a few weeks with my dad, my sister and her family. This is probably the last time I’ll go for many years. I’ve gone through and whittled down some of the photos from my last trip in December 2004 to the very best and placed them in a photo…
The Beastmasters have announced themselves as team three! Link: YouTube – Team Three is the Beastmasters.
Another team in our upcoming crime scene investigation at work has announced themselves with a clever Google knock off. Link: Croogle. The Croogle team had a bug on their page that prevented it’s viewing, and so the first team responded with a video on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjAJ0ie83Ic&mode=user&search=
So Sarah’s high school reunion was this last weekend up in NJ. I decided to skip it so we sent the dogs to camp and headed off our seperate ways, Sarah to her hometown with the baby to see Grandma and all her high school chums that don’t talk right, and me to Atlantic City.…
Isn’t it funny how politicians spend millions on negative ads that make people so cynical that they don’t want to vote, and then have to spend millions on turn out the vote campaigns? Even if the Democrats don’t win both houses, Republican senators will probably work with them on the assumption that this election was…
Every year my company has a retreat. The planning of the retreat is complicated but I’m given sole responsibility for the fun activity that precedes it. This year it’s a Crime Scene Investigation involving a robbery. (I’m being a little cagey because I know several employees read my blog) Every year we create the teams,…

It adequately describes the issues with a C-section from the patient’s point of view, something I’m not able to capture adequately. I’d…
My friend Aaron Pressman recently asked me what Sarah and I thought about the October 9th New Yorker article on the rise of the Caesarian section (C-section) as a child birthing method. (Sarah hasn’t seen it yet) If you’ve read the story of the birth of our first child, you know this isn’t an abstract…
One of my new favorite blogs is called The Sandbox, from Doonesbury creator Gary Trudeau. He’s basically republishing blog entries from military personnel from their own blogs. Occasionally I think he’s also publishing letters. It’s an excellent, unfiltered look into the minds of the soldiers both deployed and home, and the writing is all pretty…
This is a really good idea. Starbucks’ food engineers have figured out how to make a breakfast sandwich that tastes a lot better and a lot fresher than most other fast food places but whose preparation is really very little work. (the associates just stick it in a warmer/toaster) I’ve become addicted to them, and…
