• Ski Dream

  An email to friends… I had a dream last night about the ski trip. The place is actually less of a cabin and more of a chalet. And it was summer, not winter; a very dry Tahoe summer. And there is a view of the lake but it is not Lake Tahoe. Looked more like [...]

• Rooftop

  I have sent the following email to a close friend of mine, although he has yet to respond… I am heading to my rooftop this weekend. Beer will be supplied. You interested? -Jeff It sounds dangerous, but if I didn’t do it, I wouldn’t be able to call myself a man. Or at least that [...]

• Que

  “Hey! I signed up for netflix and got our first video yesterday. I also ordered King Kong today and had it put at the top of my que thing or whatever its called.” — My father, in an email from a little over two years ago, and yet another reason for my nascent archive’s existence.

• Travolta

  In an email to my brother, older sister and father, delivered at nearly 1am (in March 2007)… Actually, more important than that, I can somehow still type while drunk, thank god for spellcheck; not that ‘god,’ but the other god you read about in books, and hear about in movies; you know, John Travolta. This [...]

• Meth Minute 39

  Dan Meth has posted his last episode in the Meth Minute 39 series (appropriately, the thirty-ninth episode). I let the Syracuse alum know my frustrations by email… What upsets me most about this, is that my future children will never truly appreciate what has happened. Yes, these episodes will be immortalized on YouTube for the [...]

• Dear Matt Simpson

  This is an email I really wish I sent… Dear Bart, er, Matt Simpson (I wouldn’t do that if I didn’t know you didn’t like it): I have been meaning to ask if you had ever considered hair implants. You may not have realized this, but you are bald; and you are not just balding, [...]

• Stimulus Spam

  The only crack in the spammers’ plan is their choice of URL. It seems so authentic.

• Gay Wedding

  A good friend of mine informed me by email that he would be unavailable for a camping trip in June because he will be in New York for the gay wedding of one of his best friends. My response… I didn’t know gays were allowed to marry. I thought this was America. I thought that [...]

• Super Tuesday Whack

  A Super Tuesday email conversation with a very good friend of mine… Buddy: Who are you going to vote for in the primary – Hillary or Obama? reyonthehill: Hillary or Obama… fuck that shit. I’m a registered republican. reyonthehill: Seriously, dude, you need to read my blog… [link] Then you would know all of these [...]

  I have been having some back-and-forth emails with my aunt, who is ardently pro-Hillary, with my most recent response being… i’m not pro-obama right now either. i liked edwards, but he is a loser too. if i had to choose… clinton or obama… i guess i would go with… clinton. or maybe obama. eenie, meenie, [...]

• NTSB Says Design Flaw Found in I-35W Bridge

  In my inbox this morning… The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) today announced that a serious design flaw was found in some of the gusset plates on the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis, which collapsed on August 1, 2007. As a result, the NTSB issued a recommendation that the Federal Highway Administration (FHwA) require bridge owners [...]

• Your Account Balance is Below the Amount Specified

  In my inbox… Your Available Balance is $26.47. Your Current Ledger Balance is $26.47. I do not fret, however, since this bank account gives me no interest. Suckers.

• When Nanotechnology Calls, You Answer

  Random email of the week, maybe year (not caught by my spam filter)… Just this April, a large cross-departmental group of Stanford faculty was awarded a multi-million dollar grant to take up such challenges and develop new devices and technology for use in 3-D ICs. Chidsey, for instance, is one of the researchers involved in [...]

  An email I just received shows just how much care and attention car dealers have with their potential customers… Hi Steve, Just a follow up to see if you are still in the market for a 2007 Honda Fit, because we have a good selection of Honda Fits available now. Thanks, Ali Maloky My reply: [...]

• carlosmomscooking.com

  I have a good friend who lives in the city (of San Francisco), a former coworker at one of my previous companies, a company that I will not discuss while blogging for fear of retribution, beatings and sabotage. Anyway, this guy’s mom makes some damned good authentic Mexican food and whenever she visits (from Tejas), [...]

• Lunch-Time Feed; No Reply, Take One

  I sent the following email to people in my neighborhood in an effort to aid in these first few trying weeks with our new puppy Haley. (As it stands now, either me or my wife drives home to feed Haley at noon, which is time consuming and will not always be possible.) Hello all- I [...]
