Air Travel is Getting More and More Pathetic

July 27, 2007

I’ve been talking about how crappy airline service has become lately, and I just read this article from the Wharton School which I thought I’d share: Wharton professor Serguei Netessine’s trip from Philadelphia to Dallas in May was an all-too-typical day in the sky. After circling Dallas for an hour because of stormy weather, his [...]

A Basic Introduction to HTML

July 26, 2007

Although my partners and I have shared HTML authoring information with tens of millions of people on HTMLHelp.com over the previous decade, this is the first time that I’ve ever made available the brief introduction to HTML that I actually use when I’m teaching friends and family or giving lectures at universities or other speaking [...]

Matisyahu The Hasidic Jewish Rapper

July 25, 2007

Ok, so this one is a little different. I think there is value in expanding horizons so I’m sharing this extremely talented yet uncategorizable musician. Matisyahu is a Hasidic Jewish reggae, rap artist, and frankly he is very good. Good enough in fact that Sting performed with him in Israel! Here he is doing a [...]

This is just a quick tip… If you ever find that you need to transfer money to someone and wonder what it would cost to do it via PayPal then you definitely need to check out the PayPal Fee Calculator. Two very useful things I can come up with for this site are: You want [...]

This post is dedicated to Jimbeau. Ahh Tribeck but I think you do! So, someone put together a pretty complete compilation of Saturday Night Live skits that feature Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek and Darrell Hammond as Sean Connery. They actually took the time to cut just the Sean Connery parts and splice them all [...]

My Favorite Comedians – Dat Phan

July 23, 2007

Dat Phan is hilarious. He was the winner of the Last Comic Standing show, and he’s made appearances on all the late night talk shows as well as touring around the country. He also had his own special on Comedy Central which I’ve watched about 5 times. He kills me every time. Recently I came [...]

One Man’s Blog 1 Year Anniversary!

July 23, 2007

Wow, has it been a year already?!? My inaugural post came on July 23, 2006. I didn’t really have a plan about how this site was going to develop, but the growth has certainly exceeded my expectations. By my best estimates over a million people have stopped by in the past year, and every month [...]

Unicycle Bastards Invade Portland

July 22, 2007

Thanks again to Jimbeau for supplying us all with this crazy unicycle video of one of his friends who is basically a member of a unicycle gang called the Unicycle Bastards. Some filmmakers hung around with them for a couple of days and made a short video of their crazy death-defying actions, but for some [...]

WordCamp 2007 Videos

July 21, 2007

Welcome to all my brethren that are attending the WordCamp conference in San Francisco. Yes, I’m the guy that’s doing all of the filming today and tomorrow. A few folks have already asked me when the videos will be available so I figured I’d start this thread to keep everyone updated. There is a considerable [...]
