I heard Hillary Clinton speak a few years ago. I remember feeling inspired by what she said. I can’t even remember her message, but I remember feeling uplifted and motivated to change the world.
Hillary Clinton does not normally have this effect on me. I strongly disagree with the big-government policies that she is proposing. The […]
In the last 6 days, I’ve flossed 6 times and worked out 3 times. Congratulate me.
If you’re not using Joe’s Goals to track your New Year’s Resolutions, then you’re stupid and incompetent.
We recorded the Republican debate in Florida. Did anyone else hear the mysterious whisper when Romney was asked about Reagan’s record? Very mysterious…
Watch it here.
It almost sounded like Romney’s advisers were whispering in his ear? Earpiece?
Reminded me of that little box protruding from Bush’s back 4 years ago.
My sister’s co-worker Dane Steele Green needs your vote. Genre Magazine, a gay men’s magazine, is running a competition for “Genre Man Of The Year.”
Dane Steele Green is currently in 6th place overall. He needs your vote.
Why should you vote for him? Here’s a few reasons:
Because my sister says he’s a cool guy.
Because […]
I just discovered a few amazing blogs about Stamford. If you live in The City That Works, you will also enjoy these sites:
Greta and I are watching Season 3 of Lost. In the past, I have made multiple vows to never watch this show again, but I always come back.
I have to know the secret behind all of these mysteries.
A plane crashes on a deserted island. A mysterious black smoke attacks and kills people. […]
Man oh man, I’m conflicted about Ron Paul. If you are interested in learning more about his positions, you simply have to watch freeme.tv. There are hundreds of hours of footage, including interviews, speeches, debates, commercials, and fan creations.
I would highly recommend watching the interview held on Google’s campus on July 13. […]
I used to be pro-choice, until I read this article from HeLives.com. It changed my life.
I shared two more albums online at Picasa:
Jack’s First Christmas
Jack in January_videos
I finally got around to posting more pictures of Jack. He’s growing and getting cuter and cuter every day. Here’s my favorite shot: Jack helping his Dad blog.
Check out the album here:
Jack In January
I’ve been doing some thinking about Ron Paul lately. I agree with many of the principles that he stands for, but there are several trouble spots that prevent me from getting fully behind his candidacy.
My Problems With Ron Paul’s Platform:
Racist comments made in newsletters published under his name in the 80’s and 90’s. (related […]
Please join me in congratulating myself on the rollout of my new aStore: Herbietown Tested, Herbietown Approved.
This store is going to change your life, and it’s going to change the world.
You see, you people envy me, and that’s why you’re reading this right now. “How does he do it?” you wonder. That […]
Thanks to Marc Andreesen, I finally got around to reading the New Republic piece on Ron Paul’s old newsletters, which contain all sorts of bigotry and conspiracy.
A few excerpts:
This newsletter describes Martin Luther King Jr. as “a world-class adulterer” who “seduced underage girls and boys” and “replaced the evil of forced segregation with the evil […]
Barack Obama is my inspiration…
…to work out.
Two of my colleagues, Ted and Paul, saw Barack Obama on the treadmill at the W in New York City. If Barack Obama can find time in his schedule to jump on the treadmill for 30 minutes, WTF is wrong with me?
I’m not so interested in his politics, […]
…you will love this.
Apparently this professor of economics at Centro de Estudios Económicos de El Colegio de México read the Ken French Tuck Profit article that I wrote last year, and wasn’t sure what to think. I know enough Spanish to get the gist of his comments, but maybe there’s an underlying level of irony […]
The new American Gladiators is a real disappointment. Are they that worried about steroids? Trust me: the American people are not that concerned about a level playing field in American Gladiator.
Old Gladiators:

I’m “on the beach.” In the elite world of management consulting, that means that I’m not staffed on a project. To most people, this sounds like paradise. I am getting paid to sit at home and watch television.
But it’s not as great as it sounds. After a couple of days of relaxing, I start […]
Herbietown is actually the best blog on the Internet, but Forksplit is a close second.
This chick writes truthful hilarious stuff about her life and it always makes me laugh. She inspires me.
This is the type of writing that did not have a place before the Internet. Anonymity was too difficult and the local audience […]
Last night, around 4 am, I stumbled upon “Can’t We Talk?” by Deborah Tannen. Tannen explains some common differences between the way men and women communicate.
I found myself shaking my head a lot, and laughing.
Excerpt:
Information vs. Feelings.
A cartoon shows a husband opening a newspaper and asking his wife, “Is there anything you’d like […]
I am a big fan of Ron Paul. I like his ideas and his passion. But some of his stances are a bit extreme. Here’s a quick rundown of his platform and where I stand.
Feel free to share any thoughts in the comments section!
A. The Constitution: I once read somewhere […]
I just discovered Joe’s Goals, a website for tracking goals. This is much easier than an Excel spreadsheet, because it can be updated from any computer.
There is now a widget displayed on Herbietown, so all of my loyal readers will know exactly how many times I’ve flossed in the past 7 days. Each […]

Talk about existential angst!
I just discovered Spokeo.
If you like to stalk your friends, then this site is for you. Here’s how it works:
Enter your login/pw for your email account (gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc)
Spokeo pulls in the contacts from your address book, and then searches the Internet for all publicly available user-generated content associated with that email. Spokeo searches […]
This year I half-heartedly made a few promises to myself: exercise more, floss more, and spend less money.
Then I came to a realization: these are actually things I want to accomplish…but I’m just setting myself up for failure and guilt. How would I know if I had achieved my goals? “More” and “less” […]
