  • Shows This Semester

    The Queers (somewhere in Boston / Cambridge) – I enjoyed this show because it was, well, outside of my comfort zone. And, it made me functionally deaf for 48 hours. I’ve never heard an old man scream so loudly. Is it sacrilegious in a punk-rockish kind of way to say that about Joe Queer? Jenny Lewis […]

    Update 2009: It cuts off.

  • Twitter

    Twitter is the “funnest” website I’ve found in months. It is an update service based entirely on the question, “What are you doing right now?” You can send updates via IM, text message, and of course from the web.

    Oh, Twitter is what I use to update the Yugflog.com homepage and the content on the top of the sidebar to the right. This is all working towards what I hope will be a virtual data feed of all my communication.
    Let me know if you join!

  • Yesterday and Today

    Yesterday, I sat in a Contracts review session from noon to 7pm and took 20 pages of notes.

    Today, I sat in a Civil Procedure review session from 9am to 4:30pm and took 22 pages of notes.

    I imagine that yesterday and today are what going to a conference would be like as an actual lawyer, except the conference would only be one shorter day and it would be followed by two days of skiing or golfing and a tax write-off.

  • Book Ideas

    Instructional self-help books I could write by drawing on my childhood experiences:

    • How to want to be a construction worker.
    • Why you shouldn’t wear shorts when it’s 52 degrees out.
    • How to take an eight-second shower in eight seconds.
  • Microtasking

    Definition: Microtasking is something done in the few moments between doing larger tasks.

    For example, when I check my email between cooking dinner and watching a movie I am microtasking.

    Personally, I’ve never felt like I did this as much as I do now. And I don’t think it’s a good thing because it leaves me with a hurried panicky feeling.

  • Drunk Center of Gravity

    Why give drunk people glasses with high centers of gravity? Wine glasses are like accidents waiting to happen. I would think someone would make a glass for drunk people that was more like those baby cups with the rounded weighted bottoms that are impossible to tip over. At the worst, a little drink would slosh out.

  • Shower Lyrics

    Like any normal 25 year old boy-man, I sing loudly in the shower. Here are some of the lyrics I’ve recently come up with:

    Song #1 – Untitled

    When you come and when you go, I will always know because you are not a stealth plane.

    Song #2 is also untitled and is a duet.

    Do you like me?

    Yes I like you. Liking you is a feeling that is affirmed everyday.
