Correct Attitude in Prayer

Brian — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 00:12:13 +0000

I am a Nichiren Buddhist and proud member of SGI-USA, and I am going to sporadically post encouragement and inspiring quotes that I find in other places on the web so that I can easily find them later. This is a lecture from SGI Vice President Tsuji. ….Correct Attitude in Prayer…. Guidance from Vice [...]

Anvir Task Manager

Brian — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 02:19:30 +0000

I recently downloaded Anvir Task Manager (http://www.anvir.com/)from The Giveaway of the Day site (http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/). This is the best task manager replacement/system monitoring software that I’ve found. The most visible thing that it does is to put icons into your taskbar indicating CPU usage, disk load,memory usage, and optionally, network load. Actually, all of the [...]

Every Guy Could Use This

Did you ever wonder how porn stars can last so long without accidentally exploding and ruining the scene? (I've seen scenes (heh) that have been upwards of 45 minutes long.) How would you (or your lady, actually) like it if you could last that long? I just found a video set of Keni Styles, the [...]

Bananas Make You Younger!

Brian — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 23:17:57 +0000

Apparently*. I came in to work the other day, and there were two bananas on the counter, with a note that said “Eat us!” I thought, “Great! Bananas are a great source of potassium!” So, I ate one. Potassium must cause age regression, because immediately after eating the banana, my 12 year old self started [...]

5 Things I Learned From The Blogathon

Brian — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 00:30:00 +0000

With this post, I've completed the 2012 Blogathon, which means I've posted every day for the month of May. So, I thought I'd use this last post to sum up everything I've learned from participating. I procrastinate. Almost every post has been at the last minute. If I'm going to eventually go into writing for [...]

Time Travel

Brian — Wed, 30 May 2012 13:10:13 +0000

I'm 18 miles from the city, and as I write this, there is no internet to be found anywhere. If I was camping, this wouldn't be a surprise, but I'm at my girlfriend's house. She can't get cable, so cable internet is unavailable. DSL is nonexistent. I brought my Cr-48 out here, and Verizon doesn't [...]

Writer’s Block?

Brian — Tue, 29 May 2012 05:44:00 +0000

Is it really writer's block if I can write about writer's block? I haven't been able to come up with a topic for this blog all day. Does it mean that I just don't have anything in my brain right now? I don't seem to be having any problem writing this right now. (Is it [...]

This is the Wordle cloud for this blog. Showing your wordle cloud is the Blogathon theme of the day, so here it is!

My Favorite Writing Podcast

Brian — Sun, 27 May 2012 16:50:38 +0000

If you write fiction of any kind, you could do worse than to listen to the Writing Excuses podcast. It's a weekly 15 minute long (approximately) class on how to write better fiction. Each episode is, in their words, "15 minutes long, because you're in a hurry, and we're not that smart". They lie. The participants [...]
