Passion Flower

Tropical Plants Rule! My mom bought this a few days ago and I had to take a picture while one of flowers was still in bloom. Here's a little background on the passion flower (Passiflora) with an interesting video clip of it blooming. More information can also be

Membership Privileges

I bought a Daring Fireball T-Shirt about a month ago to support a good cause, or, more accurately, good writing. Today, my shirt finally arrived in the mail (see picture bellow). I probably should've ordered a large instead of extra large, but a month ago I was 16

I'm Not A Feeb, I Just Get Sick A Lot

So I've had to take a couple of days of work this week. I'm not sure how, but I managed to catch a cold over the weekend. The weather's been pretty crummy with a steady amount of cold temperatures and rain -- I think

The Search Is Over

I finally bought myself a condo after I'd all but given up. I'm very happy and very relieved. It all began when my agent called me a few weeks ago about a new loft development downtown in what used to be the Irwin toy factory. I

I read this interesting article on Slate about the Columbine killings and I thought I'd share it. Basically, it wasn't about revenge or being picked on.
