I can’t believe I haven’t blogged about American Ninja Warrior until now. Have you watched this sport? It’s amazing. It’s based on a show that aired for a while in Japan called Ninja Warrior, and it basically makes an obstacle course into a sport. This is the 6th season of ANW. Up until this season, … Read more
Pet owners and human parents of the world: Do you ever discomfort yourself merely to not inconvenience your pet/child while they do something adorable, endearing, or peaceful? An example of this for human parents is that you might not move from an uncomfortable position on the couch just because your infant son/daughter fell asleep on … Read more
I recently lamented the loss of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. The show served a key purpose for me: entertain and educate me while I make dinner (rarely are visuals needed to understand the show). When the show went off the air a few weeks ago, I figured I’d wait until the new Daily … Read more
I love highlights of any sport. In fact, as ESPN proved by showing cricket highlights earlier this year, I’ll watch highlights of sports I know absolutely nothing about, and I’ll enjoy them! I’ve become a little jaded about a common baseball highlight that ESPN features. At any time in the summer, if you go to … Read more
A few weeks ago I had high hopes for an entry called, “What Is Your DJ Name?” I thought the comments might yield a bevy of funny DJ names. Instead, there were 0 comments. So I’m going to try again with another topic! I watched a movie called Kingsman last week. It’s a decent action … Read more

I’m without words. Which is ironic, since the reason I’m without words is that I’m now a published author. Like, I have a book with only my name on the cover filled with words I wrote, published by a real publisher. I’m not boasting. Trust me on this. That’s not what I’m trying to convey … Read more
For a while now I’ve been excited about electric cars, but dubious that the technology could catch on. There are so many limitations: They have limited range, they’re slow to charge for long road trips (if you can even find a recharging station), and if you live in an apartment, you don’t have easy access … Read more
I was talking to a friend from back home recently about some love troubles he’s been having, and I didn’t have great advice for him at the time, so I wanted to talk out the situation here in the blog. For the purposes of this entry, I’m talking about a guy liking a girl, but … Read more
On last week’s episode of the Untitled Rothfuss podcast, The Name of the Wind author Patrick Rothfuss told a really interesting story about a hard drive and an airplane. I’ll summarize it here so I can get to the dissection of what is a really interested moral dilemma, but I recommend checking out the podcast if … Read more
