The Facebooks Know What You Might Like

Technology is frightening, your phone knows what you wanted. And the interwebs understand you more than you know. But sometimes robots do not have the human touch and make their suggestions in inappropriate groupings.

I love Pixar movies, that is true. Toy Story 3 made me cry. So obviously I would like nekkid pr()Nz.

Funky Groovy Disco Eid


The prayers of the faithful at this observance of Eid al-Adha were reflected in the shiny disco ball hanging above. No word on whether my favorite Saudi cleric has voiced his approval of this possibly idolatrous object hovering above the supplicants bowed in prayer.

Die Goldmädchen: Thank You For Being A Nazi

We loved the Golden Girls. They were wise, dumb, cynical, and slutty. They told stories of St. Olaf Minnesota, They made us picture Sicily in the 1920s. They entertained gentleman callers on the lanai. But mostly they ate cheesecake in the kitchen.


On their Nazi chairs!

Forks And Other Things In The Road


On the highway of life, you will be presented with many decisions. Do you take this one, or the next one?

I Love The Children I Have But...

While in the waiting room at a medical office, I noticed this ad in a parenting magazine about children.

You read this magazine because you care about your kids

It has articles about the best playgrounds in the city to take your children. On the opposite page is an advertisement for people who are sick of taking children to parks.

But just in case you don't want to care about any more

Or perhaps it is to scare people who picked up the magazine from boredom, suggesting to them they should never want to have a reason to pick up such a magazine.

Maybe you want to take your kid to a salon, or find a nanny.
Or maybe you want none of those things, ever.

Reflections on Personal Limitations and Desires

I admire people who do not hesitate to point out their limitations, and are not afraid to tell you what they like.
