Most people, at some point in their life, will have a pseudo-philosophical conversation with their friends and wonder “hey, what the hell did we do before the Internet?” (Similar conversations are also common with respect to cell phones, Tivo and women’s suffrage). The answer to all of them is, of course, “who the [...]

Things that make you go “hmmm”
February 12th, 2007 · No Comments
I’ve never been such a big fan of two-line posts (unlike some people I know), but I wanted to share this this with the world:
I have the newest version of Adium installed on my Mac. For those of you out of the loop, Adium is easily the best IM program, um, ever. [...]

Blogs are just like Soap Operas
February 7th, 2007 · No Comments
You know how in Soap Operas, they often will kill off a character and then bring him/her back with a different actor? Occasionally they will offer a response — the horribly disfiguring car accident and subsequent reconstructive surgery is a common favorite — but just as often they will make no mention of it. [...]

I tend to do this every now and again…
February 5th, 2007 · No Comments
…I broke my theme for Wordpress, so I’m using this one for now. I’ll probably switch to it permanently later, but I have to tweak some things first.
It’s really not that big of a deal.
Also, the Superbowl sucked. That is all.

Math Hates Me. Because I’m Jewish
January 28th, 2007 · 3 Comments
I’ve always loved math. I remember studying extra in 6th grade so I could take Algebra in 7th grade (normally “advanced” students take Algebra in 8th grade, with most people taking it in 9th).
My epic plan to out-Doogie Howser my peers was summarily foiled when somehow it was determined that my entire 7th grade [...]

All-request Blog Hour
January 25th, 2007 · 2 Comments
Remember how the NBA’s Washington Bullets changed their name to the Washington Wizards, back in the day? This was, of course, before they got those horrible gold uniforms that look like second-rate pajamas for the Purdue Boilermakers, but I digress. The point is, the Bullets changed their name as part of a program [...]

Wherein Jeremy Sobers Up Quickly…
January 24th, 2007 · No Comments
Now, I’ve mentioned this many times before, but I rarely talk about “personal” things on my blog. Color me wacky, but I just don’t think the Intarweb is the right place for that sort of thing. Besides, no one is really interested in my personal life. I mean, lurid descriptions of sex, [...]

What does Taco Bell say about me?
January 23rd, 2007 · 1 Comment
Anyone who knows me knows that I love Taco Bell. I see this as a staple of being an elite young American, much like owning an iPod or having an irrational love for some fucking horrendous French poet (neither of which I have, you might note). Loving Taco Bell is akin to loving [...]

2006 NFL Picks, Conference Championship
January 20th, 2007 · No Comments
What a week, eh?
I can’t remember ever being so disappointed at so many “good” games. All the games, in one way or another, were close. And I wouldn’t say that any of them were “good”. Neither the Ravens nor the Colts could get in the endzone. The Patriots won, but played [...]

2006 NFL Picks, Divisional Playoff
January 12th, 2007 · No Comments
We’re back with the second week of the playoffs. The big question on everyone’s mind, of course, is whether or not I can continue my streak of 3-1 weeks. This week’s slate is rough though. Seems like the only gimme is the Bears. But I guess that’s why the play the [...]
