Chris Johnson, the rookie RB from the Tennessee Titans is talented (you can’t deny that) but he is also a unprofessional, showboating ass (you can’t deny that either). This guy takes showboating to a new level. People get upset about Terrell Owens or Ocho Cinco showboating, those guys don’t bother me- they wait until they [...]

My wife informed me that my current blog title, ripples are reflections, is lame. Dang. For the record, I took that roughly from the Radiohead song Reckoner, which is pretty amazing in my opinion. Too bad the awesomeness of the song didn’t rub off on my blog title…

I recently needed to go back to my Windows PC and debug javascript from IE7, it is bizarre how hard it is to get to actual useful debugging information.

Let’s say you are traveling to the Caribbean, and let’s say your skin tone is in the fair to pasty white range. Although you may love snorkeling, or hanging out on the beach drinking rum punch or Red Stripe, the sun is not your friend. 
It’s a fact– you are going to get sunburnt, it is just a matter of [...]

Does anyone still believe that Fox News is actually a credible news organization? And if so, did you misread the last sentence wrong and think that I actually discrediting a veterinary journal that covers news about foxes and other small canids?
