Well as luck would have it I woke up at the usual hour this week, roughly 3 am, after dreaming of the moon. It made me think of the short story from a book you see referenced in the following link, so unable to sleep I sat down at the computer and after a few quick searches found the NPR article and...
A rather influential loved-one, who sits at the computer right next to mine, let's just call him "dude" for convenience, reminded me of this site called Twitter that, in a moment of weakness, I had, some months ago, subscribed to and even contributed word-rationed verbal garbage. So, having been...
Wheels and whirligigs wound and purring, toothed gears and gear shafts meshed and whirring, pendulums swinging, cylinders and pistons cyclicly cycling, midst such stuff a boy's mind you'll find flying, most assuredly proclaiming most excitedly rephrasing that song of Ms Andrews her voice...
With the exception of the postscript, I wrote a now slightly modified version of the following the other day, for some relief, but opted not to post it feeling so off by the news.

***Crosspost from my Employee Blog (also on Vox). Please comment there. *** Ok, I have to admit, I stole the title for this post from NPR, but it fit so perfectly with the news of the day I had to use it!!

It's been hectically busy at work these days. I'm always tired when I come home almost every day. In fact, every single morning, the idea "I'm going to quit my job!!" pops up in mind, but then I reluctantly leave my home. When I drive to the office, almost always I start to listen to some of Monkey...
So I've been hunting for coolness over at Artfire and I've found it, by golly. Here's the story: 1. Elephant Wall Decal, Dali Decals, $20. They come in a range of colors and the price is awesome. 2.

Last year I did a post titled People of the Book because I featured two books, one on the Qu'ran and one on the Jewish Midrash. You might remember that I chose that title because according to the Qu'ran, Jews and Christians are known as "People of the Book" since both faiths revere a holy text. Once...
My friends like to tease me about the time I feel asleep during the first 15 minutes of Wall-E in the movie theater. I might have dozed off after drinking a bit too much wine from the bottle we snuck into the theater, but I think there was more to it. After the film, I tried to explain to my friends...
