Everything I Do Is Plooble

Simplify your life. Starting with your sock drawer.

07.30.2010

I by no means live an uncomplicated life, but there is one practice I hit on a few years ago that is as simple as it is effective. Throw away all your socks, and replace them with 10 identical white pairs and 10 identical black pairs. You never have to sort or match socks, and [...]

I need to be more orange

09.22.2009

Ask me what my favorite color is and I’m going to say blue. Over the last decade, I’ve bought somewhere between 10 and 137 more-or-less-identical short-sleeved blue check shirts.

Maybe if we had jerseys.

Half the people I know seem to be big football fans. I envy the excitement they feel when football season starts, and their sense of anticipation getting ready for Sunday.

Now I remember.

10.24.2008

I just spent the last two hours picking a WordPress theme for this blog and designing the header (most of which I yoinked from a WordPress theme download site, so I figure that’s fair game). It made me remember why I was most prolific as a blogger when I was between jobs. It can be [...]
