This is Ernie, from Little.Yellow.Different.com. Ernie is a web developer and his job, from what I can tell on his weblog posts, is pretty damned close to mine. Ernie is Asian-American. He’s cute. He’s gay. And he lives in San Francisco. I can’t figure out why he doesn’t have a boyfriend, because he’s adorable. And

We’ve been having an e-mail discussion of brushes with fame this morning, so here’s mine: 1. I interviewed Chastity Bono for a newsletter. 2. I know Dick Wolfsie, the local news channel 8 morning guy who did a report on my “Big Things” photo gallery. Dick is friends with tons of famous people, including Al

I’m reprinting this Question and Answer from the Salon Advice column by Cary Tennis. Dear Cary, I ought to be jumping for joy. I’m in my first serious relationship since the big split about two years ago. Holly is beautiful, she’s kind and she adores me. Her values are compatible with my values. The sex

Hey here’s an article on something I figured out back in 1992: Living downtown is cool, hip and trendy. “The death and life of America’s cities” – Fred Siegel, The Public Interest But do you own a cool Victorian there? I thought not. (2014 update: Yes, in 2002 I was obliviously quoting an article from

Go vote in this Channel 6 News survey right now. Of course, you should vote in favor of same-sex unions. The Indiana Civil Liberties Union is suing the state of Indiana for not recognizing the Vermont same-sex unions of three couples in Indiana. Read an excellent analysis of the suits here. Its much better than

I don’t feel so bad about bitching about my stupid freakish next door neighbors. Clearly, I’m not the only one who has problems like this. Why can’t I get cool neighbors, like these people who built a starwars treehouse? Sure it’s gaudy, but at least it’s professionally done. Okay, really I wouldn’t want this next

Did you know that “Centuries ago, the Catholic Church declared left-handed people to be servants of the Devil? For generations, left-handers who attended Catholic schools were forced to become right-handed. They justified this belief on the basis of several bible quotations that stigmatized left-handedness. There are also quite a few superstitions about being left-handed. It

Wow, this letter to America is an eye-opener. To the rest of America, that is– they seem to be freaking out about this letter all over the net. I, on the other hand, have been saying some of the same things, in nicer ways, for a long time. America does need to wake up and

An article on celebrity weblogs, including one of my favorites, Wil Wheaton’s. Wil, at least, is a regular guy, unlike most of these other celebrities, who are pretty damned clueless and seem to use their weblogs as promotions of whatever crap they’re working on. If I’m not interesting in watching Entertainment Tonight’s blanket coverage of

Because our stupid firewall at work blocks out anything AOL related, I can’t read this much lauded article from Fortune magazine on greedy CEOs. But I can link to it and read it at home, so there.

DVD Easter Eggs are hidden menu options on DVDs that lead to extra deleted scenes, interviews, credits, photos, etc. For example, on Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone there are more deleted scenes if you go through a series of steps.

It wasn’t the best weekend I’ve ever had. My sister’s going back to England to live, and I had to say goodbye to her Saturday. I’m happy for her that’s she’s going back, because she really likes it there, but I’ll miss her. On Sunday, I went to Kokomo and Peru Indiana to photograph big

Fantastic Salon article on the future of the internet and technology. Basically the same thing that was said in a really great book published back in 1999, Digital Darwinism. The book pointed out, during the height of the internet boom, the simply throwing money at any internet business was doomed to fail; that only businesses

That’s one advantage about seeing the live feeds for Big Brother 3… you get to hear all the really good Amy Crews quotes that didn’t make it to the TV show. God damn that girl is funny. Now I wish she had been a little more diplomatic about dealing with the couples alliance, maybe she

Here’s a hip new trend I won’t be participating in: The Sexchart. Basically a map of everyone you’ve had sex with, and everyone they’ve had sex with, and so on. Why won’t I? I have a pretty good idea of what mine would look like. And it’d get me in a lot of trouble.

Ended up taking Wednesday, part of Thursday and Friday off work, and I also laid around in bed all day Saturday, too with a stuffy head/runny nose/sore throat. Yikes.
