Next week is Super Tuesday, and we have a candidate from the Great State of Illinois bidding for the White House… so why not.

Today is Frog Jump Friday at my office, when we frog jump from one end of the building to the other and back. It sounds easy, but it’s approximately half the length of a football field… and today was my day.
Only one other person here has completed the entire distance, the president of our agency, […]

There was a post on Engadget about a team of scientists who created the blackest material in the universe, which made me think of “Smell the Glove,” the Spinal Tap album of which there is “none more black.” Which brings us to Guitar Friday and, well, you probably guessed it. Schmears.

I’m not sure what it is this morning, but I’m really in a foul mood. Maybe it’s the mixed results in New Hampshire this week, or the metric ton of slush/snow that I had to shovel off my driveway at 6:00 a.m., or maybe it’s the 10 pages of RTP spam comments that I […]

A new year brings new opportunities for Guitar Friday. And if you haven’t heard from Action-Squad, 2008 is the Year of the Leprechaun. Yes those little michevious faeries who hide gold and disappear if you don’t keep a constant gaze on them.
Judging from YouTube and Google Video’s inventory, apparently Leprechauns aren’t known for […]

Ahhh… the final workday before Christmas. I can’t wait to eat a huge lunch paid for by my boss, email around our favorite holiday YouTube videos (D1ck in a Box), and eat a shitload of candy.
That’s the best part of being in the service industry, we have all of these little vendors who want […]

Last night, for the annual office Christmas party, the owner of my agency invited everyone and their families out to a performance of The Nutcracker by the Grand Rapids Ballet Company.
There were no guitars playing last night and it made me sad, damn near to tears. But I overcame my meloncholy because halfway through […]

Happy Festival of Lights. As the funny man says, there’s not many Chanukah songs beyond the dradle song, and even fewer that include guitar. Good thing Sandler can tear it up.

In every city, in every state in the United States of America the program director of a classic rock station is waking up from a self-induced coma–the result of mixing NyQuil, Bartel & James and Oxycotin. It’s not what he planned, just what the hooker brought with her.
As he searched for his tan pants, […]

In the spirit of Halloween next week, Guitar Friday features the Teddybears, a band in bear suits, playing rock and roll guitar.
Granted “Punkrocker” doesn’t quite stand up well without Iggy Pop (what does), but really the guitar is the point here.
