The Social Inequity of Keurig and Other Cartridge Systems
I’ve been trying to decide what it is that so annoys me about the Keurig and other Cartridge Systems. At first, one could easily decry the Keurig for environmental waste. Given their market, however, it was inevitable that they would … Continue reading
Seats, Feet and Righteous Indignation — Judgemental Treatment of Others is Unjust
I haven’t been compelled to write something in awhile, but this picture and the accompanying story at the star motivated me. From the article, it seems it’s gone quite viral. It seems topical in reference to my last article “Life … Continue reading

I’m still rather amused with my spammers. We are amused. Heh. Royal Wedding reference. Anyways… according to my comments archive, 930 spam comments have been “posted.” None of them have seen the light of day, but 930 attempts have occurred. … Continue reading
3D Movies: The Latest Ripoff at the Box Office
I saw “Green Hornet” tonight at the theater. I don’t have a lot to say. If you like Seth Rogan, you’ll likely like the movie. It’s not a bad movie, but neither is it a good one. It was entertaining … Continue reading
