DBCB: Hot & Tasty Treat

Don’t have the time or desire to make a brownie or a cookie to sate that hankering for hot gooey sugar? Easy: take a Cliff Bar, put it in the microwave for 15 seconds, pour a cold glass of milk, and bingo!

A Special Mirror

I was out this weekend, doing something I haven’t done in while, but used to do a heck of a lot – nightlife in NYC. Yeah, as I hone into 39, some of this is just normal changes in taste, I suppose. It feels good to be in bed at midnight! If you recall, your [...]

Challenging the Hierarchy

Dogs will always attempt to become higher than you in the pack order. You have to sometimes physically remind them you are more important than they are. If you do not, they they start to nip, fight, even bite you. Just watch an episode of Cesar Millan and you will see that 99% of the [...]

Fall Hike and Climb in the Maine Woods

It was a last minute idea, hiking in Katahdin in October can be iffy. In the history of us doing these treks we have had every weather state from freezing snow to bright sunshine, but it is always worth a shot as the hikes are not too long, so even in the rain, it is [...]

West Point @ 30°F

Up to some old tricks this weekend up at West Point sport climbing wall. Jim, Paul and I braved the cold and got in a bunch of climbs. Some 5.8′s were lead by all! Well, maybe not Jim, he isn’t to into leading, but you get the idea.

Know the Code awaits your arrival!

Another Awesome Day @ The Gunks

What is there to say? Low 60′s, fall, pals, and The Trapps = a couple trad climbs that scared me, some good runs cleaning up, and a slab problem from hell, aka Pebbles. You can check out all the photos from climbing in The Gunks this fall as well.

I have to really report that jumping into this sport [...]

DBCB: Thanksgiving Dinner

One of the ideas here is that you should be able to make this meal while standing with the refrigerator door open. On my fridge there is a timer that beeps when the door is open too long. I try to do it fast enough not to set the timer off.

Buy sliced turkey from [...]

DBCB: Pilot Light Soup

Why spend all the time and mess of cooking soup? Just open the can a little and place it over the pilot light on your stove or your hot water heater before you leave for the day. It will be completely cooked and hot 8-10 hours later when you get home! This works for just [...]

Welcome to The Dumb Boys Cookbook

Coming soon! A listing of ways to eat with as little effort as possible. As a joke amongst people we started to call this “The Dumb Boys Cookbook”. If you have a recipe please submit it and I will put it up!

Welcome to Developers as Dogs

If you have been around me you have probably heard my tongue-in-cheek comparison to managing a development team to managing a dog. In the years I have been saying these things, they are a funny way to make people laugh about something that might not exactly be that easy to approach. Keep in mind, this [...]

Tablemania Life Hacks

I was asked today about some of the ways that I help organize and run my life. I will start by saying that all of this is my opinion and my interpretation, so you will more than likely disagree, which is part of the fun.

I would consider myself an early adopter – I had [...]

Rocks & More Rocks!

Yeah so for those of you who know me, 2011 has been a bit if a rough year. As you might have noticed, I have not been writing all that much, and my travels have been cut down. There are so many cliches that can be spoken that it just seems silly to even [...]

Suddenly A Collection of Fetishes

I want to start by saying this post is about Zuni or Zuni style fetishes, so calm down a little

My father has traveled a lot in the Southwest and on one of his trips he brought be back a really neat black marble bear. According to a book I bought about the history [...]

Why Focus on Process?

If you are taking a moment to read this short blog post, you might want to first detour out of here to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incident_command_system.

Ok, back? That is the nearly universal Incident Command System and most anyone schooled in the area of rescue, search, disaster management, etc… will be familiar with it. My first exposure to [...]

Matteo Update

As you may recall, I have had an ordeal with my Ducati 749 Dark starting from the time when I bought it. You can read my frustration in a post when I was essentially giving up on the bike after it being molested, raped and abused by Corsa Motor Sports in SoHo.

I have since [...]
