One of the interesting side effects of writing funny if somewhat embarrassing dating stories is that people start coming to you for dating advice. If you Google for the phrase “master of dating”, the first page of results points to an Alex Payne blog entry which categorizes me as such. This has only increased since [...]

December 8, 2006 – 3:31 pm
The piece of paper shown below was found in the cafeteria of an Arizona school. I’m strangely relieved to see that they haven’t changed…

Poor Rocheal. She’s in the same boat as “The Ugly One” from Teen Girl Squad.
Five Girls for Every Boy
November 3, 2006 – 7:11 pm
In the International Herald-Tribune, there’s an article on the social situation in Beirut, where young women outnumber young men by a ratio of five to one. The sex ratio skew is the result of the dire employment situation in Lebanon: the educated and ambitious men to seek their fortunes abroad while the women stay home [...]
Look Before You Poop

Perhaps I’ve become a bit too comfortable in Logan International Airport’s Terminal C.
Terminal C is the terminal I use most often, after the ones in Toronto. Of the airlines that have regular Toronto-Boston routes, Air Canada is probably the best option, both price- and comfort-wise. They tend to use larger and more comfortable jets than [...]
The Attractiveness/Relationship Graph
September 26, 2006 – 4:04 pm
[via reddit] Here’s further proof that everything under the sun can be expressed mathematically: the Attractiveness/Relationship graph (it’s not as complex as it sounds). To those of you who are going to waste the next couple of hours classifying people they know along the graph, I apologize in advance.
Saturday Night at Hooters, Explained Concisely in a Diagram
August 14, 2006 – 3:10 pm
A guy named “Ikes” has created some strange diagrams on his site. I used to live near a Hooters, and for a while, I worked across the street from one, and from casual observation would say that the diagram below is fairly accurate not just of the downtown Hooters, but most places in Accordion City’s [...]

It’s been ten months to the day since I married Wendy, which means that it’s time for me to post another sappy photo and take her out to dinner tonight. Happy tenth month-a-versary, sweetie!
A Year’s Worth of Girl Trouble
June 30, 2006 – 3:11 pm
The web statistics suggest that I’m getting a crop of new readers, partially because of the Love/Hate T-shirt entry, partially because of the entry featuring the Family Circus/Cthulhu mashups and partly because of RailsConf and some nice linkage from the Ruby community’s very own rock star, why the lucky stiff and his Ruby-related site, RedHanded.
Welcome, [...]
"They Keep Pulling Me Back In!"
April 12, 2006 – 2:25 pm
Over at the web page recommendation application known as reddit, an article of mine from 2003, The Girl Who Cried Webmaster is currently holding the number 5 position. Perhaps I should write a follow-up sometime.
Happy Half-a-versary, Wendy!
March 24, 2006 – 6:10 pm
Wendy and I got married six months ago, so it’s our “half-a-versary”. I can’t believe that that much time has passed since I stomped on the lightbulb:

Happy half-a-versary, sweetie!
