I got off the train to find my Vue not starting. The car wasn’t turning over, it feels like a dead battery or something similar. I called Sarah and she loaded up the kids and headed to the train station to come and give me a jump. While I was waiting I [...]

Wow, I found the end of the internet

I just did a web search for the exact phrases “severe awesomeness watch” and “severe awesomeness warning.” In each case, google did not have a match for the quoted phrase.

Gone are the days of radio updates of where Santa is, now we can get REAL-TIME on your fat-man tracking ass.
First, you can visit NORAD’s web site for tracking Santa that is in 5 languages and features a map that updates every few minutes. Second, they have a link to a kml file [...]

The Blues Brothers cover of Green Onions came on my iPod while I was driving the other day. I have always liked the tune and it remains one I’ll always listen to. In the middle of the Blue Brothers cover is a monologue by Dan Aykroyd (aka Elwood) that seems relevant 30 years later if [...]
