Are you bored or SO bored?
I just found out today that hundreds of people everyday go to Google and type in the term “I’m bored” and they want to be surprised by Google.
I found this out because I was bored and I was wondering what can I do on the internet when I’m bored. It turns out a lot of people are looking for fun things to do at work when bored and top things to do when bored.
It’s good that bored people have a lot of company; at least they’re not bored and lonely.
I am just reading in the entertainment section of the newspaper about this website called ChatRoulette.com.
It´s a website where everybody is LIVE on webcams. No doctored photos or photos of people from 10 years before. It is all apparently live, pimples and all.
So, I´m gonna pop on the computer and see what all the fuss is about — this is my official ChatRoulette review.

What would you do for five dollars?
Over the weekend, I had a boring technical task that I needed to accomplish and I searched the Internet to see if there were people out there who did it. Maybe they like to do it; I didn’t.
This search led me to a website called Fiverr.com: “The place for people to share things they’re willing to do for $5.”
I just accidentally stumbled upon a story of the 27 year old virgin man.
I noticed that a post that I had written about the sexual consent form was getting a lot of hits from a certain webpage and I decided to check it out. The webpage was titled “I’m got tired of waiting until marriage so I started having sex at age 27.”
These are my observations from above after a day of air travel.
Getting on the plane, the very large gentlemen in front of me asked for something I had never heard of: a seat-belt extender.
This morning I lost focus which happens with regularity.
Fortunately, I can control it because I am aware of it. If you are aware of losing focus, does that by definition make you focused?
My intention was to create a page on my how to video site about how to copy a DVD to a DVD because a lot of people want to know how to do this. I had already written about how to copy DVD to hard drive and people really liked it so I thought I would expand on the topic.
Then, I lost focus.Read More
Ever heard the “fornication” line to open a best man speech? If not, it’s coming soon to a wedding near you.
Over the summer, I attended a wedding along with a few hundred other people. It was a gorgeous summer afternoon and the outside wedding was proceeding flawlessly. Weddings can have hiccups as sometimes things go awry, but on this day everything was going perfect.
And then came time for the Best Man Speech.
What happened? Did he ruin the wedding? Did he give one of the worst best man speeches of all time?
The movie 21 introduced many to the concept of variable change. But what is variable change? Stay tuned for a lively discussion!
During the movie 21 (read my 21 movie review here), we are introduced to a seemingly simple example of probability often referred to by three different names: Variable change, the Monty Hall Problem, and/or conditional probability. The scenario is this:
Below is a review of Roosh V and his website I did back in 2008. Looking back now in 2020, a lot has happened in the life of Roosh.
As you will probably be able to tell in my review from 2008 below, I really enjoyed reading his thoughts and ideas. He was crude but sincere, deep yet surfacy, troubling but titillating. Above all, Roosh was entertaining and filterless, which you see far too infrequently now-a-days.
I am going to describe a man to you and I just want to know what your thoughts of him are.
This man is 38 years old, has a terrific job, and many friends. On top of all that, he has an attractive loving wife who has faithfully been by his side for the last 11 years. Together, they have recently decided to have their first baby together.
I am, like, sitting in the café, you know, next to two girls, who use “Like” and “You Know” every other word.
They are, like, surprised, you know, that they are unable to, like, get the job that they want…you know.
And, like, I just don’t understand it. You know.
It’s like employers don’t understand brevity.
I recently had a Skype chat with my friend Lynne about sex and the 3 categories of women.
Lynne is French, resides in London, and she runs a Sex in the City type of blog about being single in the city of London. She mentioned to me that she had not had sex in awhile. She speculated that, at this point in her life, she was dormant. Her femininity was there and ready to be activated but, currently, she had no libido. She joked that she should rename her blog No Sex in The City.
So, I said: “I wonder what category you fall into?”
Michael Lewis Princeton Speech, 2012
Michael Lewis, author of the acclaimed books “Liar’s Poker” and “Moneyball”, delivered the baccalaureate speech at Princeton on June 3rd, 2012 and put forth some interesting theories regarding the role of luck in successful people.
These words have caused quite a stir, most notably among successful people who refuse to acknowledge that luck played quite a role in their successes.
I was recently adding some how to videos to the home page of my site when I came across a web page that allows you to Put Your Face on a Dancing Body. This site is called JibJab and they not only allow you to put your face on a dancing body but you can also put your face on another body.
You know those moments that you intend to be productive and then get completely sidetracked by some new Internet thing. You will get definitely get sidetracked with jibjab. It is so much fun.
After having just finished a book by Jimmy Buffet entitled A Salty Piece of Land, I got to thinking about who I would rather be: Jimmy Buffet or Warren Buffet?
Considering my surroundings at the moment, a beautiful sunny beach on the coast of South America, the decision was really a “no-brainer”.
