Still being in my 30's, I use this one simple rule for planning my future social security benefits: Don’t count on social security benefits. I have no faith that it can survive the baby boomers, so I’m just assuming all the money I’m throwing into the system will either see a negative return or just be gone completely…

Keeping the perspective on normal people on the ground made it a far more interesting movie than your average giant monster movie. Giant monster movies almost always give in to the temptation to portray wholesale destruction as being awesome, and put the perspective more on the monsters themselves. Even the new…

It’s an extremely strong film just by itself, exactly because it leaves the audience with a lot of unanswered questions. But then one of the things not helping it in a historical sense is that there sort of are answers to some of the questions (eg where does Clovey come from?) but they were provided via footnotes to…

Yup. “Important post by Tim Cook” =/= “I agree with Tim Cook.”

Any tips for job seekers trying to relocate cross country? I currently live in Idaho, but would preferably like to move to the DC Metro Area or other Mid Sized- Large Cities on the east coast to be close to family and friends. But I struggle #1) getting interviews #2) explaining why I want a change.

I was going to say “The IT Director had an issue?” then I realized, the odds are good that the director was never an IT guy, which would explain why they were able to rise up. If I told that exact statement to a senior IT guy, or pretty much anyone who had been one, it would have been understood without issue.

Question. And this actually happened to me, but it worked out for the best. I had a really crappy job situation going on. Went on an interview, kind of laid back atmosphere, just me and the director of IT in his office. He pulls the “so why are you looking for a new job?” card. But also tells me to be honest. Ok, so I…

Blowing one’s dick up and getting sucked off an airplane probably isn’t as sexy as it sounds.

The TSA is also banning shadows and clothes.

Wish we could pour cement on all our problems.
