It’s a dark and stormy night. I am laying in bed. I can’t fall asleep. It’s two o’clock in the morning and I’m watching the Antiques Road Show on PBS. For some reason, this is one of my favorite shows… I’m addicted.
There is something intriguing about it’s concept. For those who have never watched, it goes something like this. A bunch of people bring in some old junk from their attic. Then, a guy in a suit pulls a big dollar sign out of his ass and attaches it to the junk.
To think that some ‘thing’ can go from sitting in a dusty attic to having a value of thousands of dollars is pretty amazing. What’s even more amazing is how the people react to the news that they now possess something of great value. You can actually see the look of bliss spread across their faces, as if they had just won the lottery. [click to continue...]

What Nice Guys Need to Know
I am standing in a long line waiting for my morning coffee. The place is buzzing with college students coming back from their long weekend. I’m intently listening in on the conversation of two cute girls in front of me. And somewhere out there, another nice guy’s heart has been crushed.
Girl1: So how was your weekend?
Girl2: Oh it was awesome. We went to the fireworks and partied….had a great time!
Girl1: That’s cool. So, how’s Johnny doing?
Girl2: Oh, I actually broke up with him last week.
Girl1: Oh my god! Really???
Girl2: Yea, he took it kind of hard, but it was just something I had to do, you know? I mean, he was the perfect guy, real nice and everything, but……I don’t know, I’m just not looking for that right now. You know what I mean?

How Online Dating is Like Space Exploration
Online dating is a lot like exploring space. There are times when it is useful to use technology and robots to search the vast reaches of space but eventually you’ll need to send a man.

The two rovers are still active today and have been operating for over three years now. They have gathered a mountain of data and covered miles of terrain. One could say that the investment in these rovers was well worth it. [click to continue...]

I’m walking down the hallway. The flicker of florescent lights is burning my bloodshot eyes. It’s around 9:45 AM. I’m well over an hour late for work. I swing open the door and enter the main office. Our secretary looks up and gives me a smirk as she shakes her head from side to side.
I pour myself a big cup of water from the bubbler before entering my office. I begin re- hydrating my body when my supervisor, Bob, walks in. [click to continue...]
