Quote of the Day


I’m not bothered by gay people or transsexual people. They don’t impact my life, they don’t hurt my life. I love when people are in love. You wanna be a woman? Be a woman. You wanna be a dude, be a dude. Be whatever you fucking want. As long as you ain’t hurting anybody, I’m on your team.” ~ Howard Stern

Indeed. Well past time to bring back a sadly neglected skill set called Minding Your Own Fucking Business.

And This, Children…

…is why Phoenix doesn’t get rain. This is a perfect illustration of the heat bubble that rises over the city during the otherwise wet, monsoon months of summer. And why does this happen? Because the entire valley is paved over. The pavement absorbs the heat during the day, and then re-radiates it all night (which is also why we seldom drop below 90F in July/August). Storms approach, but dissipate or just split and go around this heat bubble, leaving the city dry.

Tucson to the south of us on the other hand, has retained its natural character and isn’t paved over nearly as much, allowing it to get those beautiful summer monsoon storms.

Almost Complete!

Almost complete. Just missing MDNA, Who’s That Girl, and Evita. (MDNA is arriving next week.)

Madge (I’m two months older than she is)—along with Pet Shop Boys—has provided the soundtrack of my life, especially during the height of their influence in the 80s and 90s. I will forever associate Papa Don’t Preach and West End Girls with my arrival in San Francisco.

I’ve Really Come to Admire…

…people who save boxes like this. It’s a piece of irreplacdable history for tech nerds like myself, but ironically I always got rid of my boxes as quickly as possible after buying anything and I can’t tell you how often I’ve regretted it over the years.
