electric hand dryers

Have you ever been able to fully dry your hands on one of these using only one push of the button? I'm going to start a petition requiring that manufacturers extend the time of one dry cycle by about 3-5 seconds.. that's all we need right? Who's with me? I know, I know, you're thinking "why not just push it again?" I'll tell you why--because I don't need the additional 20 seconds. Those just end up being wasted.

spacebetween

I was editing a document not too long ago and I found it a little odd to come upon this sentence:

There was a spacebetween us.


I had to transcribe the edit in an email: "please insert a space between space and between."

Pretty weird, no?

the dirtiest building in san francisco

I'm always struck by how filthy this building is every time I drive by it. It makes me wonder why you don't see other buildings like it. Does anyone know where this building is?

let's get metaphysical!

Welcome to metaphysical nightcap!

This is our (I use the word "our" to confuse, much as the unabomber did when he first hit the scene and referred to himself in his manifesto as the "FC." Are WE a large organized militant group--or are these merely the isolated ramblings of a single disturbed individual living in a primitive shack in Montana? You decide for yourself.) first post!

I should explain how our title came into being. It was the subject line of a junk e-mail I received at work that was trying to sell viagra. I've always wondered how they come up with those. Is there an individual who comes up with these or are they generated automatically? I can't find an obvious connection between viagra/home loans/penis enlargement products and metaphysical nightcaps. Although an email with the "nightcap" subject line is much more intriguing to me than "low mortgage rates." Same goes for the "hiya" or "long time no see" subject lines of spam. But the jig is up on those. At this point, I'm fairly certain these aren't long-lost friends trying to contact me. So, try again email marketers!

Metaphysical Nightcap is an experiment in which the author will be dabbling in the creative process. Not really sure what exactly it'll consist of or where it's headed. Photos, thoughts, satirical pieces, discussion(s) involving rap music and politics.

Come, enjoy a nightcap with me,
