Look Before You Poop

October 26, 2006

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

[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

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 [...]

A Year’s Worth of Girl Trouble

June 30, 2006

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

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

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:

“Now how ’bout we get us some drinks?” I look pretty pleased with myself. I’ve just stomped on the bulb.
Happy half-a-versary, sweetie!

The Hottest Thing You Can Say

January 20, 2006

Recently, Deenster wrote about an article in Men’s Health magazine: The 30 Hottest Things You Can Say to a Naked Woman. I think that’s a bit ahead of the game — there’s still no consensus on the hottest things one can say to a fully-clothed woman:

The THIRTY Year Old Virgin

January 5, 2006

[via Just a Gwai Lo] On Ask Metafilter, a thirty-year old who’s still a virgin asks two questions:
First, how rare are 30-year-old male virgins? Has anyone here lost
their virginity after 30? (I suppose I mean to exclude from this
question people who purposefully made a choice to abtain prior to
marriage.) [...]

There’s a Back Story Here…

December 9, 2005

Seen this morning on the eastbound platform of High Park subway
station: a discarded day-old boutonniere sitting on top of a pay phone.
I’ve seen enough dates to semi-formal school dances gone wrong — many
of them my own — to imagine scenarios that would’ve led to this:

Accordion Guy Advent Calendar, Day Seven: Bikini Calculus

December 7, 2005

Advent Calendar Day Seven: Even people who took some math in unversity
have a little trouble defining what “calculus” is in layperson’s
terminology. Ask a techie what calculus and s/he’ll probably tell you
something along the lines of “it’s the branch of mathematics that has
to do with derivatives [...]

How Not to Say It

December 5, 2005

While channel-surfing with my lovely wife, we ended up catching the final segments of What Not to Wear. The episode featured a young woman living in Manhattan. Her “after” pictures looked great.
“I wonder what the ‘befores’ look like,” I said.
As if in response, the show cut to her “before” pictures. They [...]

Accordion Guy Advent Calendar, Day Two: "Shut Up You Face"

December 2, 2005

  Advent calendar, Day Two: today’s goodie is a novelty tune from the 80’s that I’m certain figures into a number of trivia games: Joe Dolce’s Shut Up You Face [2.9MB MP3]
I notice that yesterday’s goodie — “pick-up guides”
— elicited no comment, which I found kind of surprising. I thought I’d

Accordion Guy Advent Calendar, Day One: Books on “Picking Up”

December 1, 2005

I’ve already described Advent calendars in a posting I just made to The Farm, so I’ll simply repeat it here:

Advent, in case you’re not familiar with the term, is the name for the four weeks leading up to Christmas. It’s derived from the Latin adventus, meaning “arrival”.
One traditional arising from Advent is the Advent [...]

Appearing at SXSW 2006!

October 24, 2005

I’m always looking for a good excuse to put on the ol’ cowboy hat, and here’s a particularly good one: Julie “Seedlings and Sprouts” Leung has invited Wendy and Yours Truly to sit on the panel she’s organizing for the “Interactive” portion of South by Southwest 2006!

The title of the panel [...]
