Something a little depressing
I just realized that my termination day with the company I used to work for is August 15, 2008. That is also the 3 year anniversary of Deliberate Noise. At first I could feel the cold tendrils of depression trying to take hold of my mind, but I realized that when I posted the first…

Why my unemployment is good for the nation.
Ever since I was downsized, it appears as though gas prices have dropped nation wide. I got a tankful of gas at lunchtime at $4.19, got downsized and as I drove by the same gas station, the price was $4.15. Not nice. The last time my car was out of commission, I hitched a ride…

The blog is renamed
I didn’t put a lot of thought into the naming of this blog simply because I didn’t plan on using it very much. Lately I have been using it a lot more than I had thought I would, so I decided to worry about naming it. Since like my various podcasts, this is just me…

No more Paypal
Due to the events of last week, I have gotten rid of my Paypal account. If you still want to buy a T-shirt or make a donation to the show, email me at derek@comicbooknoise.com and we’ll work something out. This also means no more eBay auctions for me. Thank goodness for Atomic Avenue. Sorry for…

My ‘Huh? What?’ moment of the day
I was driving back from getting some lunch and I was forced to listen to the radio. On top of that it was The Rush Limbaugh Radio Show. He was talking about Gen. Wesley Clark’s support of Barack Obama and previously John Kerry. Limbaugh said "He’s a partisan hack." Huh? What? That’s like Mr. Pot…

Entertaining myself
I had to send an email to a customer at work asking about some new types of data that I am supposed to receive. Here is what I wrote: "Do you know when it is supposed to start? Right now the data looks the same as it ever was." I’m not a huge Talking Heads…

George Carlin dead at 71
I woke up this morning, fired up Firefox and on my homepage is the headline "Edgy Comic George Carlin dies in LA, aged 71" and thought "Damn." I know there are seven other words that should have come to mind, but what do you expect it was early. Here is a link to the TimesOnline…

Is it just me?
Is it just me or do all of the Obama/Kennedy comparisons creep anyone else out? There are people who don’t want Obama to just start pulling troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq, but a lot of the language used sounds similar to some of the criticisms about Kennedy’s Cuba policy. A lot of people want…

What I would rather be doing today
Over the holiday weekend, I spent a lot of time listening to my old cassette tapes and mp3s that I have made from my old LPs. A lot of that stuff was from the early 80s and got me to thinking about my early high school days. I’m not one of those people who get…
