I went to public school until college. My wife went to the same private school from K-12. So obviously, it’s the subject of much discussion as our girls begin their educations.
Now that our oldest has completed a whole year of public kindergarten, we can compare her experience with some of her nursery-school chums who went [...]

Prayers = God Alerts
A few things got me thinking about the role of prayer in the hypocracy of religion this week. Both trivial, but thought-provoking nonetheless.
First, I had a fun little run-in commenting on a Robert Scoble post about the Hudson river plane landing in FriendFeed. A woman commented: “I am also not discounting all the prayers that [...]

Profiled!
Help! I’ve been profiled!
This gentleman, asking passersby for spare change, looked at me walking past him on a Beverly Hills sidewalk the day before Rosh Hashanah and said “Hey man, start the New Year out right!” referring to me helping him in his quest for free money. Apparently, he just assumed that I… believed in [...]

Apology Accepted
It’s being reported that tomorrow, The Church of England will officially apologize for condemning the theories of Charles Darwin on his 200th birthday. They’re phrasing it as “misunderstanding” his theory of evolution, and the apology will be released on their website – so you know they really mean it!
Pictured above is one of several critics [...]

Wash Your Clothing Out With Soap
I didn’t blog about the rockstar who brought his son to my daughter’s preschool picnic wearing a baseball cap that said FUCK on it. And I’ve got pretty liberal standards when it comes to my own young’ns dropping S and F bombs. My wife and I usually laugh and figure that a) it’s only a [...]

Whole Foods On Twitter
Okay, so Whole Foods announced today that they’ve been racking up followers on Twitter. That’s a good start. More brands should, I think, if the intention is to participate in a real dialogue with their customers like Zappos has so successsfully.
But where Whole Foods gets it wrong, is by immediately starting an incentive program for [...]

To Hell With Hollywood, California!
Mystery solved! I live near and grew up in Hollywood, CA. So according to this article in the L.A. Times, it’s no wonder I don’t believe in god. Hell, I market movies for a living. I’m part of the “corrupting influence”..!
The larger point of the Pew survey – that 92% of all Americans part – [...]

Come On, Eileen
I checked. In the last year, my wife and I spent exactly $4,220.35 at Target. Diapers, etc. It adds up. What would you spend to keep us as customers? $100? $50?
Today, I tried to return a $24 lampshade (didn’t fit) to Target’s Burbank store. I had lost the receipt, but the return policy says you [...]

California 1, Pope Benny 0
Yesterday’s ruling made me proud to be a native Californian.
In other news, sore-looser Pope Benny comes out today and proves how antiquated the Catholic Church’s views are, totally disregarding human behavior in favor of meaningless dogma.
Just go away, Pope. You and your old-timey views are irrelevant.
