Sign-In With Twitter →
Facebook seems to carry more inherent value with its sign in service since users more than likely have full profiles and other useful information already filled out there. However, two cutting edge companies duking it out is always a good thing.

First, I love that they are taking on Facebook with this. I’m always a sucker for the underdog. Second, I can see several places where I may...

Costco and City Centers
This past weekend we went to Costco. We barely ever shop at big box stores, there isn’t much we need there, but every now an then we need something bulk and don’t want to waste our membership. This was fine when we lived in Lancaster, or any other city I’ve lived in, but now that we are in Philadelphia, I went to the map and found the closest Costco. It was showing up as 19 miles...
Video Games and iFrames
David: it's the only way they export it
Joshua: it's ok, someday i'll love video games and nefarious coding techniques
Joshua: i do have a son
Joshua: i assume that means i should buy a wii or something
Joshua: first i have to buy a tv
Joshua: i'm such a fucking liberal douchebag
Joshua: if i were everyone else, i'd punch me in the nose and drive away in my hummer
Birth Control Goggles
These are my glasses:
I was watching a doc the other day about recruits and boot camp. One of the kids that went in, sported contacts in the outside world, but in basic, was blessed with these bad boys. Evidently all new recruits must wear the issue specs, but once out, may wear what they want. I was kind of into these. Besides not looking all that bad, they could withstand a nuclear Blast....

Simon is so raw in this interview. He talks about the realities of many of America’s social problems. Must-watch.
There are so many moments from this interview that would make perfect quotes that represent all of the things we should be collectively learning right now. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to have Obama, the Senate, and the House all have to sit down and watch this...

– I’m going to have to go ahead and completely agree with this statement. From the years I’ve spent on both coasts, the western most one has such a better way of life. More peaceful, more open, and a focus on quality that just isn’t there in the Northeast. I know people freak out...
Ways to Destroy a Marriage (relationship)
Be contemptuous
Bring your work home (emotionally)
Rush through your ‘family life’ in order to spend time with yourself
Be painfully honest with friends/colleagues about your relationship
Communicate through your kids
Refill hedonistic supplies (”look elsewhere for affirmation of identity”)
Very much the truth. It takes way more integrity and responsibility to keep a relationship healthy...
Dream Car
I’m not really a car guy. I barely drive, most of the time I ride my bicycle or walk. However that doesn’t exclude me from having an ideal picture in my head of what car I’d drive if I could drive any car. Consistently at the top of the list is the BMW 2002. I pretty much love my Volvo 240 wagon, I couldn’t imagine not having it now that I’ve got a kid, but if...
Father Me Black and Blue, a blog about fatherhood →
I started a new blog to try and capture some of what’s going on with me being a new parent. It’s one of those things that takes over your life and there are decisions to be made every day. We all know when there are decisions being made that it’s prime opinion fodder, so here goes my opinions on being a dad.

We, on the other hand, have succumbed to the plan that Reagan and Greenspan put in place in the early 1980s to prevent any future “unrest” or “instability” among the middle class. Conservatives in the ‘60s and ‘70s in the United States and the United Kingdom saw all the protests in the streets and were horrified. These people had too much safety, too much security, and...
