Leslie doesn’t antique; she steals things from old people.

January 19, 2012 in Life, Re-posts with 2 Comments

Instead of writing something original (which I should really get back in the habit of doing), I’m going to tell you about one of my favorite people. Her name is Leslie, and she recently started a blog. This is a picture of us having a pizza eating contest (she beat me, and never lets me forget it):

Leslie and I met at a camp I was working at. A fun fact about Leslie is that she doesn’t antique; she steals things from old people’s houses. This is really what I want to bring to your attention (and that I haven’t seen you in forever, Leslie, and we should remedy that somehow!), and you can read about it here:

You’ll thank me later.

It’s quiet over here…

I promise I’ve been thinking some interesting thoughts. I just haven’t remembered to come write them down.

Cleaning up Launchpad in OS X Lion

August 25, 2011 in Life with 0 Comments

I recently upgraded to OS X Lion on my MacBook. It adds a lot of “iPad feel” to the operating system. One of the new features is called Launchpad, which brings up pages of apps just like you would see on an iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad. It’s cool and all, except for the fact there is no way to eliminate unwanted programs from these screens built into the OS. This bothered me, so I went searching for a workaround.

After trying a number of different apps and scripts, I’m recommending one particular way. Launchpad-Control adds a menu to your System Preferences, which allows you to clean up your launchpad. And it’s free. Check it out here: http://chaosspace.de/launchpad-control/

“Porno Is Just A Typo Away”

XXXChurch has started a new ad campaign, which I think is both funny and true. Allowing your young children free rein of the internet means they are susceptible to come across some pretty scary stuff. While I don’t always agree with their methods, I can get behind this video. Check it out:

Babysitter (60 seconds) from XXXchurch on Vimeo.

I found this video over at 100 Foot Jesus.

For bonus material, here is an excellent article I found a while back, “Porn and Perception: Is Your Limbic Brain Distorting Your Vision?“

We Are People of Peace

Nearly 10 years ago the world changed. Two planes flew into the World Trade Center, another crashed in Pennsylvania, and yet a fourth hit the Pentagon. Among those said to be responsible for the horrifying, catastrophic, and world view altering event was one Osama bin Laden. A name that now instantly conjures up the idea of evil. And so a manhunt began.

Last night it was announced that bin Laden has been killed, his body taken after a 40 minute fight in Pakistan, and “justice has been done.” When the rumors began to spread of his death, people  spontaneously took to the streets in front of the White House, the Pentagon, Ground Zero, and Times Square. During President Obama’s speech Twitter received 5,000 tweets per second. It seemed that the American people, and others around the world, were rejoicing his death. Continue Reading…
