Top Gear host till not alright 18 months after crash
During this period of shows is when host Richard Hammond crashed a jet-powered dragster going 288 mph. Though he suffered significant injuries including head trauma, Hammond was back on the Top Gear set just four short months after the crash. He now admits that was "much […]

No wonder a former colleague of mine is trying to get out of NY and move down here. How sad of this woman that she can’t pull herself up the social/economic ladder, or at the least realize she’s out of her class in New York. A Sex and the City reject if I ever […]

So the news is reporting Hulk Hogan’s son, Nick, had a bad car wreck. I’ve watched their “reality” show a fair amount and have seen how the kid behaves (at least on TV, can’t imagine it’s any better in real life…) and the things he has no respect for in life; first and foremost being […]

 I love the little links that GMail scrolls at the top of your inbox - there is so much good stuff that gets put in there! With our impending wedding approaching, I found this interesting.

My roommate who suffered through me freshman year in college, who came to be a good friend over the years of suffering […]

I told myself I’d quit at midnight and get to bed. With one thing after another to touch-up, or check on, or follow up with, or improve on, 12 quickly turned to 12:30. Now it is nearly 1:30. Does this happen to anyone else? Just diving in, with no distractions from other people wanting things […]

Just a big old FYI to the DIY-ers out there (*cough* Mark *cough*), be careful and get educated on your shiny new nailgun before you start nailing things to other things that shouldn’t be nailed! 
Take a nation of do-it-yourselfers, add a ready supply of cheap nailguns and what do you get? About 37,000 nailgun injuries […]

A couple small oversights and I feel trapped, crippled if you will. I didn’t charge my cell phone last night and my laptop has been on & off all day without a refuel. I am now tethered to the wall with two power cords at a time when it would be awful nice to be […]

The civil rights lawsuit, filed in March, has so alarmed some lawyers that they are offering to defend the unnamed “John Doe” passengers listed as “possible defendants” free of charge. They say it is vital that the flying public be able to report suspicious behavior without fear of being dragged into court.
