When Cameron Was in Egypt’s Land…
Let my Cameron goooooooooooooooooooooo. FOR SALE: 370 Beech Street Highland Park, IL 60035 $2.3 million and worth every penny. Is that really a Ferrari in the garage? Hard to tell from the pic…

They should give the guy an extra million for doing this so wisely. But seriously… this is not the type of guy that normally plays the lottery, is it?

Left the garage door open for the umpteenth time last night (ironically for exactly the same reason — the stairs are being repaired and I am going in the house a different way). Thankfully nothing was stolen. Investing now in my third automatic garage door closer — the previous ones stopped working after a while…

Seriously? 12 million copies of this album were sold? Not that Matchbox 20 is bad or anything, but… 12 million? Why? That’s more than Abbey Road… and every other original Beatles album except The White Album, for that matter.

I love this story — both that the woman in question had the guts to let her kid do something on his own, but also the indignation with which the public responded to it. Seriously, she’s his mom, so she gets to decide when the kid is old enough to ride the bus alone. At…

Child: Can you get your license plate to say whatever you want? Me: Yes, as long as it fits into 7 characters and it’s not rude. Child: What, like “FART YOUR BUTT OFF?”

Just watched Ferris Bueller’s Day Off on Blu-ray… with this theory (via MetaTalk) in mind. Doesn’t totally work, but it was a fun way to experience the movie nonetheless: My favorite thought-piece about Ferris Bueller is the “Fight Club” theory, in which Ferris Bueller, the person, is just a figment of Cameron’s imagination, like Tyler…

Apparently when you hang up on a “grassroots organizer” with a blocked caller ID number because you’re exhausted, trying to deal with your insane children during the dinner hour, and just don’t have the time or energy for a long conversation about whatever problems our city has, that makes you a “jackass.” That’s what I’m…

Had this odd email problem and want to post about it here for posterity and hopefully to help other people if they experience it themselves. Here’s the gist: A few weeks ago I ran into a problem where, when I replied to two or more messages within a few seconds of each other to two…

Let’s say you’re eating a quesadilla in the kitchen. Why then would you decide to get up and run through the house — mouth full of food — only to trip and fall in the hallway, split your head open on the corner of a baseboard, and have to be taken to the ER for…
