The World Cup is over and my feet are in bad shape. My insistence on traversing that last few weeks in a full flip flop fashion has left me nursing a couple bad sores dealt from the makers of cheap plastics. That, and the mosquitoes are on the attack. I can battle most of them …

Gnats. Everywhere. I am under siege. Every bike commute this week is a galactic battle with a trillion tiny Cylon warriors determined to make my mouth the final frontier of the 2002 gnat dynasty. Worse yet, they are not alone. They move amongst planets – small puffy air based satellites that fall like soft hailstorms. …
Fear and Loathing at WorldCom a blog from a guy who works there and saw the madness come down.
Brazil wins. I am thrilled and not the least bit tired. If your kids are doodling, building mammoth creations out of legos or tinker toys or putting on catwalk fashion shows for the whole neighborhood, then do what so many parents do and send ’em to camp. Design Camp. I wish this stuff was around …

A real hog belly of a morning ahead of me already I can tell. Some malicious bastard has installed an aviary of sorts right outside my bedroom window. This morning, as I lay fetal in a double pillow headphone grip trying like mad to drown out the chirps and ornery songs of my new natures …
Afternoon bike Commute: stopping at the museum. This mornings Korean v. Italy match and the events of the internation world at large are starting to spin together, form networks, and draw parallel lines where there’s no good reason for there to be any. The Mexican’s are heartbroken. Politicians run at the mouth and lay claims …
Exhausted, broke, and almost blind. My devotion to the game is starting to put major strain on relationships, work and life. But we do what we do. It was a damn fine thing to stay up till the sun began to rise to see the US trounce the Mexicans. I’m just amazed that in a …
