Halloween is coming – are you ready?

Monday, September 21st, 2009

Halloween is one of the biggest holidays of the year. When adults get to have as much fun dressing up as kids do. Maybe even more. People spend huge amounts of money and time on their costumes. One year I went all out and decided to make a halloween costume that would be the perfect [...]

A really good round of Golf

Friday, September 18th, 2009

Some days just feel bad. You’re tired, sore, probably overworked. You just want to sit home and relax. But you promised you’d play golf. A charity event no less. So you have to go. Even though you have no clubs and need to borrow your brothers clubs. Sore wrist = $65 doctor visitday off of [...]

Movie Preview: Surrogates

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

What if you were to take the themes of WestWorld and The Matrix, add in a waldo (not the character) and some I Robot (the book not the substandard movie), what might you get? Well these are likely sources that helped to create Surrogates. The concept is hardly new. We have a world of luxury, [...]

Kanye, it's not a vacation

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

I once had a client, back when I was a stockbroker, who owned a very bad stock. The stock in question was bought, unsolicited, at .16 cents, and had rocketed to $22 over several days (though we did get to sell more than a bit at $18). Then it got halted. My client asked my [...]

Movie Review: Gamer

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

First there was Rollerball (the original) then came The Running Man. Add in a bit of Resident Evil (at least how it plays off of it’s video game origins) and when you mix it all up you get Gamer. Well a handfull of hallucinogens helps too. Perhaps its the fact that I’m a bit older [...]
