Been a while

I haven’t posted here since February. I kind of left this for dead, feeling like no one was reading it, until, out of nowhere, someone posts a comment!
So what have I been up to? I’m working as a technical writer for Booz Allen Hamilton. It has its ups and downs, but what job doesn’t? It’s [...]

Disguise the truth with wordiness

It’s something politicians and lawyers are good at, and right now the former is really shining in this field with the economic troubles we’re having. I think a major part of the problem is that no one has any clue as to what’s truly going on. Sure, we know the banks are tanking and their [...]

Epic fail

So as it turns out, the housing market hasn’t plummeted everywhere. Over the weekend, my fiance bought a house. Well, we got our bid accepted and are waiting on the seller to sign the contract. But did we get an amazing deal? No. We were more or less forced to bid only $10k less than [...]

I’ll give you something to *censored* whine about…

Oh censorship. Thou art the bane of my existance.
I’m always getting told by people to “watch your mouth.” First off, while I’ve uttered that phrase myself, “watch your mouth” is a bit of a lesson in futility. My eyes can only go so far as t look at my nose (without a mirror).
Correct me if [...]

Expectations of straight-up newsies

(I say “newsies” because I don’t feel that “journalists” really cover news bloggers.)
A favorite site of mine is wired.com. I enjoy reading their articles. But in doing so, there are several expectations that I have of them, since that site consists what I would consider “straight-up newsies.” What do I mean by this? Well, they’re [...]

The Return

So I’ve decided to attempt to return to blogging. No guarantees on how regular these posts will be or what they’ll entail, but I’ll soon be switching to a new job, which should give me more time for stuff like this (after work, that is) because I’ll no longer have a 5-6 hour daily commute.
But [...]

work work

It’s been a while since I’ve made a post, but I’ve decided to once again post on the folly of job searches. I’ve currently got an internship with MannKind Corporation, a biopharmaceutical firm with a manufacturing plant in Danbury, CT, where I’m working. Out of about thirteen interns, I’m the only college grad, and yet, [...]

Isn’t humanity grand?

According to a Popular Science RSS feed article, wolves have recently been taken off the endangered species list. And three states already have plans to put them back on the list, if not wipe them out completely. I realize that the wolves are eating farmers’ cattle, but it’s a fact of life. The wolves were [...]

The Ultimate Badass

A while back I posted about an article on Wired.com that discussed how one would go about killing a 500-foot monster that was invading Manhattan. It seems to me that a lot movies and such are stuck in the direction of where the ultimate badass is some enormous monster, spewing fire and crushing buildings with [...]

WordPress gets a face lift

And quite frankly, Marsha, it sucks. I knew this was coming; the We-Town site I spoke of in other blog entries had the update, and I didn’t like that either. So now I’m stuck with this new look, which, to me, is less intuitive than the previous one. Plus, it doesn’t even look more flashy [...]
