Base, foul and annoying
A lesser man might take to his blog to complain about his coworkers. The total and complete lack of work ethic might bother this man. Seeing them playing video games all day while this man slaves away at the less glamorous aspects of photography might make this man cringe and beg for mercy. This lesser man might point out the base, foul and annoying aspects of some of his coworkers “talents” for constant and unending variations... Read More
The Adventures of Jon Hillenbrand
My mom forwarded this story to me that I wrote when I was 8 years old… THE ADVENTURES OF JON HILLENBRAND One day I climbed up my tree and saw a race track. I was there yesterday.

So, I’ve narrowed it down to just under 200 picks. Where I can, I’ve added captions to explain... Read More
The Missing Ingredient

Unfortunately, you crave more the more you eat which, lucky for Pringles, keeps you purchasing can after delicious can. My sister used to joke that they were laced with Addicto, a secret additive which made you crave them equally the instant after you swallowed one. If Addicto exists, there are many more products laced... Read More
