So I thought I’d compile a list of books I wish someone would write. Please note, if you don’t like cynicism, this is probably […]

Why You Should Just Listen to Your Freelancer When They Give You Advice

So Thursday the widget guy wanted me to write an article about a movie, which his SEO stats say a lot of people search for.

Vitamin Pills are NOT Treats and Other Times I Called Bullshit on Halloween

I remember one Halloween when I was 7 or 8, walking around the mall. My parents always took me to the stupid mall because they thought I’d get kidnapped walking around a street. Only a handful of stores had anything good. So I come up on this vitamin store and say “Trick or treat.” The […]
