Like most men, I hate dancing. Rather, what I hate is feeling that my movement to music needs to follow some set, aesthetically appropriate pattern. I’m all for spastic, cathartic flailing (I quite enjoy that, actually). But actual, legitimate dancing? I’ll pass.
And that’s surely a good thing, based on the news today. Not only did [...]

Good at dancing? You might be evil
A nice little song to make you feel better… or worse.
It’d be criminal for me not to mention the fact that, at last night’s Juno Awards, Michael Buble called tween sensation Justin Bieber a “motherfucker“.

Don’t even bother with your morning caffeine hit if you [...]
Theft by any other name would still smell as morally dubious
Last week, I bought a MacBook.
Yeah yeah, go ahead and form your judgments. I’ve already heard it all, from “you’ll absolutely love it” to “you’re a hipster sheep who enjoys status symbols and paying too much for things.” This post isn’t about the relative merits or downfalls of an Apple brand laptop in relation to [...]
