RSS in Plain English

Click To Play

I came across an awesome video and article while scrolling through my never ending digg feed late last week entitled RSS in Plain English, over at CommonCraft.com. The author was dead on, knowing the pain of using, publishing and promoting the RSS technology; yet all the while knowing he had been preaching [...]

Break a Leg Corzine

My wife, in pain from a recent tooth pulling a couple of days ago, was still nice enough to cook a delicious chicken dinner for me Thursday night. Perhaps it was love that kept her stirring those mashed potatoes; then again it might have been the painkillers. Either way, it’s really nice having prescription painkillers [...]

About Alcohol: Lest Ye Be Judged

I smoke. My wife smokes. My parents smoked, their parents smoked- who knows how far and wide it goes. I’ve tried a lot of different things in my life, and I’ve lived through twice as many bad things as I’ve tried. I try to keep things real simple nowadays. I don’t do drugs and I [...]

March Roundup

March done and gone? A few days ago, no less.. And here we are with another mikull.com roundup! For me, this was another busy month full of changes. The local arrival of warm weather has been most welcome.
Relatively quiet on all fronts of the site, as we gear up for some spring development. There [...]

Me vs. the Cardiologist

I mentioned I was going to this special doctor, and I did earlier this week. They hooked my up to the EKG machine, they looked at my blood test results, they asked me everything about anything I remember happening to my body, and then took my blood pressure for kicks. I’ll be damned if I [...]

Hook Me Up to the Machine

Tonight the premiere episode for the 5th season of Bullshit! was on Showtime. I love that show. Admittedly, this episode was not the best, but I enjoyed it anyhow. The topic was obesity.
Penn & Teller reveal truths about the Obesity epidemic. A visit to an Obesity conference exposes the uncomfortably cozy relationships between the [...]

Global Warming: Crisis or Swindle?

A few weeks ago I was watching the Oscars, and I remember smiling when Al Gore got the award for An Inconvenient Truth. It was comforting to see a political, yet truly dedicated man educating the public on a serious environmental issue, with the stars of Hollywood embracing it. At the time I had not [...]

This is Sparta! Spring Forward!

Now that the government controls time itself, daylight saving for spring arrived- did you adjust your clocks? Unfortunately, there is no spring is my step, and I did not yet see 300. I am sick, and feeling miserable. I’ve been talking about 300 since last July, so of course I was sad not to go [...]

February Roundup

For a time i considered writing up a ‘week-end roundup’ for the old blog- but it’s hard enough putting together the time for all our weekly updates and features; instead, i’ll be throwing up roundup’s for the month. a quick link summary of new blog entries and active topic from the message board. this gives [...]

Banana Sandwich

I’ve been trying to write something up in the blog each day, but I’ve been swamped with crap to do all month long- so obviously I’m not quite there. Instead of some meaningful insight tonight, I’m just going to cluster-@#$% an entry… with everything on my mind. Who doesn’t love a week that starts off [...]
