These aren't things that actually ruined my childhood. I had a great childhood. But at the time, I couldn't imagine life getting worse than living with this stuff. Read More → No Comments

I saw this quote on Facebook and I was a little skeptical because of its popularity.  I don't disagree with the sentiment but I'm not sure the numbers are real or that it's from Dave Ramsey "If the US Government was a family, they would be making $58,000 a year, they spend $75,000 a year, [...] Read More → Comments (2)

I've spent about 10-15 minutes on Google+ and I decided that now is the time to write my review of it. Most people won't spend any longer than that when they check it out and make their own decisions about it. I'm sure the good people at Google would prefer me to spend ... Read More → Comments (4)

I've made an observation of the world that I'd like to call "Einstein's Folly". Albert Einstein was arguably the smartest living man in the last 100 years. I don't by any means question his genius.

To those who know me, this conversation on the KROQ's Kevin and Bean Show will sound familiar.  Let me just say, I know and I'm owning it.  I can't help it and I don't think Bean can either.  What can I say, we just know stuff.

I hate Twitter.  There I said it.  The reason I said it is because I think it's a useless waste of time.  It takes our attention away from the significant things that we should really be paying attention to (This is something TV has been doing a great job of for years).

This post is just a way to sign "hi" to Bean.  I think we all know that the best way to reach you is via Google alerts. I wanted to communicate four things to you: 1. What's the name of the URL you mentioned on the show? 2. Can you please give me free tickets? [...] Read More → No Comments
