Hey everyone – sorry to have been gone a long time! I was busy getting married – see the photo to the left? That’s from our wedding day! Check out more on that at http://www.alexaandben.com. But now, I’m back and I’m returning with style – a new style on the blog that is. Yes, after [...]
This past weekend, I flew between Seattle and San Francisco for a friend’s wedding. Beautiful wedding, by the way… The cool thing was that Virgin America just started flying between SEA and SFO, and I have to say, the experience was great. I really liked the new airline. First off, the planes are great: new [...]
Couldn’t help but doodle up this comic to complete the story from the other day. This one isn’t courtesy of xkcd, it’s just my feeble attempt at being funny with a digital pen. Turns out drawing drool is really a lot of fun!
This feels like me today. Yeah, I’m the dude at the computer Note that it’s late. Note that I’m writing this from work. Note that my french fries are currently cold. On a happier note, my brother and his girlfriend are visiting next weekend! Can’t wait to see them!

(amazing cheesesteak w/ fries & coleslaw on it!). Saturday led to some college football watching, catching Joe’s cousin’s manager-pitch baseball [...]
This is just utter ridiculousness (some might even call it fatuity): http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19293872/?GT1=10056. If I’ve ever heard of taking a little issue and blowing it out of proportion, this is it! The article talks about a high school where students are banned from touching each other in any way, at all, ever. No handshakes, no hugs, [...]
Today, I climbed a building. Well, up the stairs It was part of The Big Climb, a charity event benefiting leukemia research. It was a 69-story climb that equates to 788 vertical feet and 1,311 steps. It took me ~16 minutes to do the whole thing. Thank goodness I’ve been working out on the [...]
Today my roommate and I continued a now-3 year tradition of baking a whole lot of cookies for the holidays. This year it’s something like 20 dozen or so. They range from chocolate chip to molasses to the peanut butter ones with a Hershey’s Kiss on the top. Don’t worry, we’re not eating them all [...]
