I have decided to share this somewhat embarrassing video of me as a kid playing the piano. My performance itself isn’t bad, but the huge bows and scrunchy are tacky. Come to think of it, I still wear clothes with big bows on them. This was at a concert in Dayton, Ohio and I’m performing…

Madonna/Britney Spears/Lady Gaga Dance Party
Last night. Madonna/Britney Spears/Lady Gaga dance party at the Ottobar. Dancing. Alcohol. Bows. Robots. Glitter makeup. Lace. Coke cans as hair rollers you wear in public. Jumping up on stage to dance to a song you love while lip syncing the words you don’t fully know to the crowd. See you guys at the one…
Happy National Boss Day
Tomorrow is National Boss Day. Since we don’t work on Saturday, we got this card for our manager today:
SpiderBombed!
My department just spiderbombed my coworker’s cubicle.
Photos: Sam Harris in DC
Here are some photos I took from a presentation Tuesday night in DC by Sam Harris. He was speaking about his new book, The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values. These two photos were taken by @brucefp:
Coming Out and facebook
Today is National Coming Out Day. As someone who is heterosexual, I can only pretend to imagine what it would be like to come out of the closet, especially to family members. Even if I had an open-minded family, how would I arrange this? Would I make a big announcement at Thanksgiving dinner with all…
George Hrab “Everything Alive Will Die Someday”
Here’s part of George Hrab’s performance of “Everything Alive Will Die Someday” that I took with my cell phone. This was at the New York Society for Ethical Culture on July 3, 2010. His set was great and was filled with some rather witty commentary between songs. The people there were awesome. After he was…
Sam Harris, Morality, and The Monty Hall Problem
I’m currently in the middle of reading Sam Harris’ new book, The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values. I had to take a few minutes to pause and look up something he mentioned, called The Monty Hall problem. Here is part of the Wikipedia article on this: The Monty Hall problem is a probability puzzle loosely based…
Virgin Mobile Freefest 2010 and Chromeo
This past Saturday, I attended the Virgin Mobile Freefest 2010 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD. Based on my personal experience, it seems like it was much better-organized and planned than last year – or that they at least learned from what happened last year – so I give them kudos. Of course, just…
Atari Teenage Riot at Sonar 9.24.10
This past Friday, I saw Atari Teenage Riot at Sonar. I was really excited. I saw them almost 13 years ago at the 930 Club in DC (yes, I have been attending concerts since I was young), and thought they were awesome. But part of me wondered, as an adult, if my perception of their…
