February 28, 2011 – CDs, the O’s.
Ah, last post of the month…CD day! Today, the O’s… The Highlights: Oasis – Call them Beatles copycats if you must, but the Gallagher brothers put on quite the live show…and their tunes always make a long drive down a … Continue reading
February 27, 2011 – On evolution.
This is just a great book, written by chief “skeptic” Michael Shermer. It’s a great book, written to provide tangible, sensible reasons to argue for why evolution is too important to be treated as the political football its been made … Continue reading
February 26, 2011 – Darting out.
An old friend of mine gave me these darts. They’re really cool actually, but…just like I’ll never be one of those guys who brings his own pool stick to a game, I won’t be carting my own darts down to … Continue reading
February 25, 2011 – Suit up.
Simple entry today, as I’m hitting the road on my way to TED. Today, I RID myself of a suit jacket…that used to fit me (better?) when I was heavier…I RID it today, as part of my commitment to never … Continue reading

February 21, 2011 – RID me a belt.

February 20, 2011 – I love a good doc, but still…
There’s nothing I like more than a good documentary. They’re my favorite kind of movie. But lately, I’ve found myself a bit awash in “National Geographic like” documentaries on earth, animal, and planet. So…today I RID myself of this one. … Continue reading
February 19, 2011 – Dreams realized.
Today, I RID this book, purchased a long time ago…on product evangelism. The unexpected result of the RID project is that it’s making me MORE of an evangelist because I own LESS. The products/goods I’m keeping in my house are … Continue reading
