In honor of this year’s Easter holiday and (hopefully not coincidental) AMC’s The Walking Dead’s third season finale falling on the same day, I wanted to take this opportunity to explain why slow zombies are better than fast zombies. This may be my most important blog to date. Zombies represent many things to many people. […]
My Sphere of Power Theory
Several years ago, I began thinking about an idea I eventually dubbed the “Sphere of Power.” I had recently moved to Washington, DC to begin working for the federal government. Power is in the air in that city. I worked within a few square miles of many of the world’s most powerful people and their […]
Pioneering Best Buy Abandons ROWE; Catapults Workforce Back to Dark Ages
Once again I’m baffled by yet another Fortune 500 CEO’s decision to end their company’s workplace flexibility program. Last week I discussed the horrendous decision by Yahoo!’s Marissa Mayer, and this week it’s even worse: Best Buy, the original sponsor (I don’t want to give them credit for creating it… Cali Ressler and Jody Thompson […]
ROWE-Vo-lution: The Solution to Yahoo!’s Sinking Ship
[easyazon-image align=”left” asin=”B00B0H9QWU” locale=”us” height=”160″ src=”http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51l7MmNDlpL._SL160_.jpg” width=”103″]One of my many passions during the past five years or so has been identifying a career that is personally fulfilling, yet allows me to live the life I want as much as possible. This has actually always been important to me, but somewhere during 2007 my professional life […]
The Gemini in my Eye: My Mostly Not Crazy Split Personality
I was born a Gemini. I find that detail very fitting, which in turn I find ironic, considering I don’t believe one ounce in the zodiac and the supposed personality traits associated with being born under a certain sign. I don’t even really know what the traits of a Gemini are, but what I do […]
Multiple Sclerosis Files: Rockstar Without Benefits
I’ve decided to further add to the ADD nature of this blog and post about yet another topic that’s near and dear to my heart — Multiple Sclerosis (MS). I mean, I’m not in love with the disease, or anything, but yeah… I have it. Most people who know me, know I have it, but […]
Creationism vs Racism: My Response to PZ Myers
It’s a rare day when I mostly agree with PZ Myers, but since his recent post about Ken Ham’s Creation Museum and some Creationist textbooks actually being used in Texaswas mostly spot on, I felt the need to celebrate by posting a response of my own. I recommend you check out his article first, as […]
Are Athletes Who Dope Dopes or Dope?
Prologue: Posting this today because I figure what better day than MLK Day and a President’s Inauguration Day to talk about personal freedom to dope… or its just a coincidence. You decide. Obviously, Lance Armstrong’s confession that he used performance enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France has been at the top of the public […]
The Hobbit in 3D HFR: My Review
So, after the heaviness of my last couple of blog posts, I thought I’d revert back to a bit of frivolity just to prove how unfocused and random this site will be. It’s not all godlessness and “give me liberty or death” stuff! Last weekend, I finally got around to seeing The Hobbit. It just had gotten […]
My Blasphemous Deconversion Statement
[The below statement was originally posted on my Facebook page today. Its primary audience is anyone who knows me in “real life” but I wanted to share it with you as well]. I renounce Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior, and I deny the Holy Spirit. There. I said it. It’s done. Finished. Some may think this […]

Recommended Must Reads
Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell
Economics is one of the most critically misunderstood disciplines in a democracy. Your ignorance is peril for us all. Sowell explains complex topics very simply.
The Tyranny of Silence by Fleming Rose
If you care about Free Speech at all, this is an important read written from the perspective of someone at the center of a modern battle to uphold one of the most important principals of classical liberalism.
The Better Angels of Our Nature by Steven Pinker
If you can only pick one book to read all year, pick this one. I rank it as one of the top 5 books all humans should read. It will be time consuming as its long and dense, but its also easy to read, and filled with gobs of nuanced facts and analysis to show how the world is better today than at any other time in history. Life is good, and Pinker has the proof.
