Mathematical meditation
I want you to think about something for a moment: one trillion. A million million. Ten to the twelfth power. A one with twelve zeroes behind it. It’s an incredibly large number, is it not? Most people know the word trillion, and they know, at least on an intellectual level, what that number is. However, [...]
Disinvitation
As Gustav appears as it is going to lay another huge smack-down on New Orleans, I have this to say to those who are fleeing their city: Do not come to Houston. Seriously. Go somewhere else. We are still cleaning up the mess left after Katrina. After Katrina, Houston offered itself up as a refuge [...]
The post in which I offend everybody
It has been almost 24 hours since the California Supreme Court rendered its decision to allow same sex marriage. I wanted to make a post on this yesterday, but, ultimately, I decided to give myself a 24 hour period in which I could watch the reactions from all sides. I wanted to see if the [...]
Random hostilities
Over the last couple of days, I have been noticing things that have been annoying me. I figured it was time for me to get them out into the open. If you are sitting next to me on the bus ride to/from work, do not try to convert me to your religion. I have already [...]

Just this past week, Hillary Clinton dug up an old relic from the past that, frankly, should have remained in the past: Geraldine Ferraro. The 1984 Vice Presidential candidate marched to the tune that [...]
“He is not smart enough”
Have you ever engaged in a bit of harmless self-deception in order to try and make yourself feel better about something? I have, and to tell the truth, I just plain suck at it. Self-deception is a skill that I could never quite master. I still try to do it sometimes, though I have no [...]
Workplace woes
I do not normally like to blog about my workplace for a variety of reasons. Chief among those reasons is that this blog is primarily about my personal life and my personal beliefs. For the most part, I like to keep my personal life and my professional life separate, therefore my antics at work seldom [...]
Customer service woes
I work in a heavily customer service oriented business. One of the truisms in the industry in which I work is that customers will take their money elsewhere if they feel their needs are not being met. This holds true for many businesses; companies that treat their customer with respect and address the customer’s issues [...]
