Mexican Heritage/White Person Drinking Day

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

Who needs an excuse to drink when its nice out?  Not anyone I know at least, but it does make you feel a little bit better about getting after it on a Wednesday.  As a bonus, the holiday stems from the defeat of the French in battle, and who doesn’t like rooting against them? So raise a Corona for our neighbors to the south and cheers to Mexican freedom from French debt resulting from the outcome of an obscure battle no white person will know the name of!

Google Wave

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

I got Google Wave today, and asked people what it was all about. Some of the best responses are as follows:

Christian:
“as far as I’ve been able to figure it out its for sudoku and weather. That and taking up 200+mb of memory. /nerd”

Steve-o:
“like what could it possibly be useful for? collaborating on a piece of text that needs to be in more real time than email or IM but not urgent enough to meet in person?
what the hell kind of application is that?”



Digital Dave:
“Dude, thanks for the round of invites. Stoked that I’m in and can send a dozen or so off to my friends. I crave the wave!”

Molly:
“it’s totally awesome 24/7″

Andy:
“Well, Robert, from the sounds of things, it’s a pretty extreme way to communicate. It’s like the Mountain Dew of interpersonal collaboration. Its synergistic combination of document-functionality and conversation-versatility is like a flaming elio’s pizza roll wrapped in a dorito, doused in axe body spray and served to a motocross racer as he’s blown by a great white shark.”

SMP:
“omg. i’ve been waiting for an invite to ride the wave. thanks so much rob. let’s get our collaboration on.”

Thanks for all the input guys, I’m super excited to ride the Wave now!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

Pretty sure no one that was around Southie this weekend will be drinking today as we are all still recovering, but happy St Patrick’s Day none the less. At least my deck didn’t collapse like the house down the street.. that would have sucked. Also thanks to John for making my mother feel his chest after the following exchange:
mom: “I used to be a nurse, I’ve seen pretty much everything.”
JHM: “Have you seen THIS?!” [rips open shirt]
I think it was after that occurrence that my dad asked me for a beer, which I gave him in one of those sippy coffee cups due to the “increased alcohol enforcement.”

Also good to have the NYPD and LAFD back again this year, got a badge from one of the officers to “put on the house so [they] know where to come back to.” Interesting to have to ask some Los Angeles firefighters if it was okay for my parents to cut them in the bathroom line at one point.

Pretty much the rest of the weekend will be documented in my facebook album which I’ll have up tonight (just finished sorting the pictures last night.. reduced count from 254 to 63). There aren’t words to describe the events adequately, only pictures can even begin to tell the story that is St Patrick’s Day in South Boston.

In China, This Has Different Meaning

If I don’t make it back from China, this post will probably be why.

White and Nerdy

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

Yup, this about sums up my life. I am so annoyed I can’t find an embedded URL for this video.. if someone does please let me know. Until then, head on over to Youtube and enjoy the talents of someone we haven’t seen much of since high school, Weird Al Yankovic:

My someecard for Gina

Friday, January 30th, 2009

Inspired by her asking if I got what I wrote on her wall from a someecard. This is of course in response to her wasting a significant amount of time perusing this site. Welp, now it is a card. And it’s definitely a Friday.
