And here begins the story of how I was mugged on the streets of Barcelona.
It was around November 15th, 2005.
I had just spent a very pleasant week in the sunny cultural capital of Spain. El Sol shone on the stone buildings and the man urine from the night before stank–but it was but [...]

I’ve always tried to make this site different. When the site was still young and I would occasionally put up funny videos, I cringed to think that this website might someday turn into a ‘Funniest Home Videos’ on the net. There’s far too many of those.
I’d like there to be some serious resources on this [...]

It’s high time for another assortment of favorite pictures (pictured on the right is a questionably PC bus ad in Copenhagen, Denmark). Though this image is not my favorite, it’s up there.

Hey kids! Guess what time of year it is. Time for some fun, fun, [...]

I managed to fix everything that was wrong, and ended up improving my publishing platform with the latest version of Wordpress. It’s pretty slick, and now I can just send an email to a secret account that I set up and my server will publish my words in the split second it takes for email [...]

The architecturally impressive seat of the European Union in Brussels will surely be missed. But besides the guilded grand palaces and efficient pleasant city vibes, I will most miss scenes like this: The zebra waiter in the Brussel main train station.
I took a train down to Bordeaux… a 7 hour fast one that took [...]
