I just had a post go up on the Huffington Post’s 236.com humor blog. Check out my satirical article on a local business defining its roles and responsibilities.

The New York Times reported today that a system has been developed that would let us avoid vote fraud by engaging the populace in double-checking the vote. It’s a very elegant system, developed at MIT. Interestingly, it was developed by Ron Rivest, who also developed some of the very popular private key cryptography that underlies [...]
Greetings, and happy Sunset Day to all!
This is the day of the earliest sunset of the year in mid-northern latitudes; after today, the sunsets begin, ever so slowly, to be later, according to clock time.If you aren’t familiar with this interesting phenomenon, you can read my personal take on it in my article on the [...]

Amazing. Utterly amazing.
The New York Times is reporting that Churches are now attracting teenagers to the church by having “Halo” nights. That’s when teenage boys get together and play a videogame that’s rated “M” for mature (which means teenagers can’t purchase it without a parent’s permission).
First of all, isn’t there a commandment about “Honoring Thy [...]
Have you seen this story? Our Boston leadership (and I use the term loosely) is once again promoting terror, fear, and ineptitude, in one happy package. An MIT student had a “bomb hoax” on her shirt.
“Hoax” implies she was trying to pull one over on the police. No, she had a piece of wearable electronics [...]
Just returned to the so-called “real world” after a week camping at a festival. Well, car camping. We had running water, a little shack happily selling us gyros, port-a-potties, and garbage collection. So we weren’t really roughing it. But happily, the campground had no internet access or cell phone. So it was a truly un-connected [...]
I’ve totally internalized the media images of the Ideal Male Body. Abercrombie & Fitch, galore. So, in a very 21st-century way, I often feel inadequate with my body. Like every time I walk past a mirror. Especially in summer. The amazing thing is that we’ve created these images of beauty for marketing purposes, so people [...]
I’m going to be working with an experienced PBS Producer on how to break into the media. Before we meet, she’s asked me to poll some colleagues as to what qualities make me stand out, and what they find special about me.
Being typical, non-emotional, task-oriented guy, I thought of this purely as a request for [...]
