This is difficult to write. I started writing this Friday, and I’ve been working on it for days. This is really a dramatic change, if not a sudden one. It feels like an about-face, and it’s a little embarrassing. I’ve been thinking on it for a long time. I’m absolutely sure about it now. Here’s [...]

Remember this: Would you like to rephrase that more positively? Yes, that. Remember that? Tonight Tim Ferriss made a post regarding the ejection of certain words from one’s vocabulary. He suggests this for slightly different reasons than I originally discussed, but still interesting, still valid! He takes familiar staples such as ‘should’ and adds grand [...]

Em and Cherryfix covered Blondie’s Call Me! This sounds awesome. Here’s their MySpace link—music plays on load (gag) and you might have to actually click the ‘Call Me’ link in the player. What the hell, MySpace?? Get with the program! For more info (like you don’t hear enough from me already), here’s Em’s website and [...]
