I went wine tasting for the first time this weekend. Like many people who don't drink I long considered it...well...look, we know the kind of people who get way into their wine. I don't need to describe them. I almost went tasting last year; I w...

Magnet and Steel

2009-11-09T03:37:56Z

This is what happens. I'm going to get the mail and I hear or think I hear "Magnet & Steel" coming out of a passing car. And then the song is stuck in my head. And then I remember that the song is prominently featured in the movie Boogie Nights. ...

Perhaps the most pressing question of our time

2009-07-07T22:52:59Z

We all use the smaller, closer together set of...for lack of a better word...divets on a stapler. What I want to know is this: Who uses the other side with the divets that are wider apart and what do they use it for? Ideas? Anyone?

2009-05-31T22:32:28Z
