i love straws
in iced coffee. in diet sodas. in milkshakes. my fascination with bendy pieces of plastic surely cancels out all the walking to work, reusable bags and compact fluorescent lights. i love their colors and their flexibility. they remind me of little giraffes sitting in my drink. they have even put a spell on piper who thinks nothing of swatting one out of a full glass and kicking it across the...

you’d think the leader of the free world could afford employees familiar with crude powerpoint layouts. it’s a basic computer skill at this point. so much so that indicating your expertise with the program on a resume is kinda lame. you’d be laughed at less for including excel as a qualification. cause excel is hard, man. but no, why should we assume that bush jr would be...

i spent a good portion of this afternoon researching my italian side of the family. i combed through the ellis island records to find the exact date and what ship my maternal great grandparents came in on. the ledger contains answers to “important” questions the US needed to know before entry: like how much money you had on you, if you were crazy, any obvious physical abnormalities...

man your stations
the new book im reading: operating manual for spaceship earth by r. buckminster fuller. i’m about 3/4ths of the way through and i’d recommend it to anyone who finds themselves at a crux. and as bucky saw it (in ‘69 mind you), we are all at a crossroads in regards to moving humanity along. the overall gist of the books is how we as humans should champion innovative design, the...
