my superpowers are...    I can evaluate your business proposition in less than five minutes. I can come up with more stupid ideas than you can. I can also rip the arms off your body in four unique ways and enjoy it immensely, so feel free to bring it! ;)

when it comes to my digs (apartment, home, etc.)…    I need things clean and organized to think straight. I often can't think straight!

my turn ons are…    JJ! More generally... wit and intelligence, long hair, great or unusual smiles, tan or pale white skin, foreign accents, entrepreneurs and belgian ale.

things that turn me -off- include…    Extremists bug the shit out me: hardcore conservatives, PETA, WTO protesters, religious zealots and televangelists, al qaeda. Hey, how about we have a faith-based initiative to stamp out stupidity! PS. the world is not flat, evolution is real, etc

i would describe the way i dress as…    Mainly like a bum or a tourist, which has been my plan since 1990. It's been working out pretty good.

my favorite place in the whole world is…    Key West, British Columbia, Spain and the Highlands.

when it comes to politics…    The folks running our country today are idiots, televangelists and crooks. If another neo-con calls me a liberal, I might stick my foot up their lemming ass. Show me a real, traditional conservative and I'll show you a vote.

my musical tastes…    I generally only listen to WFPK and WFPL so I get just about everything but rap and new country in my diet, which is how I like it. I'm partial to rock-a-billy, bluegrass, alt-country and alt-rock.

i would best describe my work ethic as…    I inherited an over-developed work ethic from my parents.

things that make me really angry!    Idiots with thumping stereos, mufflers or motorcycles. Remember girls, the louder their toy, the smaller the boy. Oh, and if you're going to wear your baseball hat sideways, please print BORN TO LOSE across the front of it. Thanks.

i'm currently reading...    I'm on the sixth and final book of Peter F. Hamilton's Reality Dysfunction series, one of BMWHRD's recommendations and very good stuff! I'm also reading Freakonomics a page or two at a time.

if i'm in front of the tv, i might be watching...    The new Battlestar Galactica kicks ass... but apparently has disappeared? Deadwood, the Shield, the Daily Show, the Apprentice, L-Word or the military channel.

my most recent disorder or neurosis...    Obviously, I have a Mojo problem. Also, the new electric toothbrush is making it pretty easy to be OCD.

Health insurance companies must die I wrote the following in response to a news post, and I wanted to save it to refer back to later... What do you think? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1) Health care should be a common good, in the same way that roads, public education and defense is a common good. Denying treatment ...

Please, for the love of God, stop giving to panhandlers! Please, for the love of god, I'm begging you guys to stop giving money to people on the streets. If we had an infestation of rats you guys would be the ones spreading kibble all over the sidewalks. Our homeless shelters, many of whom supported the panhandling ordinance, will tell ...

Consumers Union petition to remove BPA from our food My friends and co-workers know that I'm a huge fan of Consumer's Union (and Consumer Reports). They champion all sorts of excellent causes. Their most recent success was the consumer credit card legislation which, when fully implemented, will be a boon to consumers in protecting against the most blatant abuses ...

Gill Holland is a smart cookie I just read Gill Holland's "Brave New World" article and it reminded me again that he's one smart cookie. Two takeaways that I don't want to forget: (I paraphrase) If our government and "business friendly" representatives hasn't kowtowed to the car industry, we'd have been making consistent mileage improvement requirements ...
