Ride That Bull!
The Professional Bullriders Assocoation came to town recently, so I decided to check them out.
Magically, they also held a mechanical bullrider charity competition for any media person dumb enough to want to try it. Naturally, I signed up – anything for charity!
I chose St. Jude’s because I’ve been affected by the awfulness that is [...]
Kids Suck!
I keed, I keed! Mostly! The title of this video should really be, “Toy Fair 2010,” but I went with something that seemed a little more appropriate to my line of questioning. SO…yeah…I went to this year’s Toy Fair at the Jacob Javits Center in NYC, and it was AWESOME. I’m not sure how they [...]
Jonny Detiger Makes Good Art
One of the great things about living in New York City is that you’re constantly exposed to amazing people. It’s really freaking hard to live in a city where just getting your groceries home can involve almost getting run over, getting in arguments with people, and having your arms go numb from carrying all that [...]
Charity: Water
There are a lot of charities out there who do lots of amazing, great work. Sometimes, though, it’s hard to know exactly what a charity does or where your money is going. That’s not the case with Charity Water, whose mission it is to get clean drinking water to the one billion people on the [...]

What’s Killing the News
The news is dying. Have you heard? A slow, innocuous-wound-looking-yet-still-fatal kind of death. The kind of death where you think the bullet only glanced through meaningless cartilage yet really severed a key artery kind of death. That’s a poetic way of saying: NEWS! You’re really going to die. No suture is going to save you. [...]
How to Fillet a Rabbit with Josh Emett
I get to meet all kinds of interesting people and do all kinds of interesting things in my line of work, and this week was no exception. This week, I got to hang with the one and only Josh Emett, who’s basically Gordon Ramsay’s right-hand man in the kitchen. The man can cook. He also [...]
Vauban: A Carless Society
There are so many things wrong with cars, let’s face it. Environmentally, socially, economically, all of it – all downsides when it comes to cars. I mean, I get that they are cool examples of what mankind can make. And I do appreciate that. But just as like, one-off examples, not as something that a [...]
Swine Flu: Should We Be Scared? (Hint: No.)
This week, the whole world went kosher, avoiding bacon and ham like it was the plague! Because the mass media basically told them it was! Here’s the skinny on swine flu so far – very few people have died, most infected people recover as you would from a FLU, and occurrences have been few and [...]
