I work from home 100% of the time. This comic sums the experience up quite nicely. Credit goes to MT for passing it my way, and rightly assuming that I have neglected my personal appearance to the point of now resembling a 45 year old hobo.
So Close…
August 15 10
Ugh. What a sickening end to an otherwise great opening match for Liverpool. Arsenal caught a lucky break in the 90th minute when a near miss against the post bounced off a diving Pepe Reina and into the net. Liverpool had been enjoying a 1-0 lead thanks to a beauty of an Ngog goal, despite [...]
Hemos Vuelto!
August 1 10
We have returned, from Playa Del Carmen in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. Actually, we were just outside of Playa at the Hotel Valentin Imperial Maya. I took some pictures, you can see them on my Flickr page here. It was a great trip. Very relaxing, lots of time on the beach. We couldn’t [...]
Liverpool FC 2010-2011 Kits
July 22 10
This could be a big year for Liverpool. Rafa is out, Hodgson is in. Benayoun and (probably) Mascherano are out, but Cole and Jovanovic are in and so far Torres and Gerrard remain as well. The club could also be sold this season, as the American owners have been looking for a buyer. And to [...]
Pie, Meet Face

Ladyfriend took a pie to the face for charity. Be sure to click the HD button for the crispest pie in face viewing experience possible. Many of her co-workers suffered similar fates. You can see their videos on my vimeo page: http://vimeo.com/brendangates
Express Scripts
July 17 10
I don’t seem to have great luck with my pharmacies. Last fall Walgreens gave me the wrong drugs for a month. I’ve also consistently run into issues with them either not having my full prescription available when I show up, or with the wrong doctor being called to approve my refills. So I decided to [...]
Konstantyn Isaew is my Homeboy
July 14 10
He is the Russian музыкант behind Volta Cab that produced this gem: Clarissa (Out on OMG! Recordings) by Volta Cab It’s a sweeping and dreamy ride; great movie soundtrack or cocktail party or hipster dance floor sort of stuff. I would buy the album if I could actually find anybody selling it.
Mobile Theme
July 3 10
At the request of one of my iPhone totin’ visitors, I have started experimenting with mobile themes. The WPtouch theme is installed right now, so certain iPhone/Android/BB visitors will be greeted with a much different looking blog. I’m not sold on the colors or feel of that theme, but I do see how it could [...]
My Antisocial Network
July 2 10
Do you wonder what all that tweetin’ is you hear so much about about? Perhaps you wanted to join a social network, but you were thrown off by all the “other people” lurking around? Maybe you do belong, but you’ve seen the fail whale* one too many times? Well, then do I have the place [...]
YNWA, Rafa
June 8 10
Rafa Benitez was let go as Manager of Liverpool FC last week. It was officially reported as mutual consent, but the prevailing thinking is that he was forced out for fighting with the ownership. Ownership that has been racking the club with debt and running it into the ground, unfortunately, not leaving much in the [...]
