The amazing writer, Kurt Vonnegut, has passed away. I’ve read the majority of his books, and they’re all great. If you haven’t had the pleasure, this is as good a time as any to start.

This is an absolutely hilarious article. I don’t have anything to add, I just wanted to share it. Found it via Seth Godin’s blog.

I got a haircut tonight, though it was more of a full head treatment than a simple haircut. The man was a genius with clippers, scissors and all manner of primitive hair removal tools. He asked how I wanted it, and I told him short all around, clippers on the side. That’s it. He didn’t […]

A Swedish couple is being barred from naming their daughter ‘Metallica’. While I see the concern here, who really cares? The parents will be the ones that have to face the embarrassment of telling everyone they know that they named their daughter after an old has-been metal band.

I’m shopping around for a good hosting company. Rotten Bananas is currently piggybacking on my buddy’s BlueHost account because, well, he has the space, and I’m cheap.
