Do You Trust Airport Security? (Goodbye Civil Liberties)

January 7th 2010

In response to all the craziness that went down over the holidays, it seems that the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) is finally about to step their game up. But at what cost?
In case you missed the memo, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a Nigerian man, boarded a Detroit-bound plane on Christmas day with explosives strapped to his [...]

Your Mom Doesn’t Approve of My Blog (I’m a Sleaze Bag)

December 4th 2009

No disrespect to your mama but she started it.
For the most part, whenever I’ve met anyone’s mother (or father) they’ve generally liked me. I have home training, am well-spoken and display manners in the company of elders. Monday, however, I had a bad run-in with someone’s mama—on FaceBook.
I was sitting at my desk when [...]

We Have To Break Up on FaceBook Too? (Unfriending Exes)

November 20th 2009

The other day my friend Liz reached out to me via IM with a problem. She had just broken up with her boyfriend Craig, who had taken the split pretty badly, and she wasn’t sure what to do about her FaceBook status.
(Has it really come to this?).
Liz felt that leaving her FB status at [...]

Can You Be a Virgin Again? (The Artificial Virginity Hymen)

October 22nd 2009

A while back I did a post called “Do Men Really Want to Marry Virgins? (The Purity Myth)” that wound up being one of my most popular blog entries with 230+ comments. Basically, I expressed my belief that while the idea of marrying a virgin sounds nice in theory, most guys would actually rather their [...]

OMG I Slept With Over 4 Million People (Sex Calculator)

September 29th 2009

Over the weekend I came across an article on F-Listed entitled “How Many ‘Indirect’ Sexual Partners Have You Had?” I thought it was going to be a similar post to one I did a while back on whether or not the number of people you’ve slept with should be private, but I was mistaken.
British-based Lloyds [...]

#56 The Great Debate: Toilet Seat Up or Down?

September 18th 2009

It’s been years since I’ve shared an address with a woman, but based on countless movies and sitcoms, the age-old battle still exists—should a man leave the toilet seat up or down? Personally, I always do the latter because I don’t like a dusty seat (TMI), but not all of my male counterparts even consider [...]

#43 She Peed Standing Up (Female Urination Device)

September 12th 2009

It never ceases to amaze me what actually get patented these days. After unearthing products that were foolish (the Snuggie), silly (the breast pillow) and intriguing (the iPod vibrator) I think I may have come across one that tops them all.
My latest discover is simply called Go Girl, which is a female urination device that [...]

#42 Am I Self-Absorbed? (Questioning My Purpose)

September 11th 2009

I’d like to think of myself as a pretty decent person. Seriously, who doesn’t? But as I go through this period of personal reflection during Ramadan I’ve begun to take hard looks at my actions and, more importantly, myself.
If you follow me on Twitter or we’re “friends” on MySpace, BlackPlanet or FaceBook, which is linked [...]

#34 Are Apple Stores a Trending Topic?

September 7th 2009

Those outside the Twitter bubble might not be familiar with the term “trending topic,” but basically it’s when something becomes a common subject of discussion on the micro blogging site. While, Apple stores aren’t actually a current trending topic on Twitter I have noticed a lot of references in the news as of late.
First, there’s [...]

You can find out where they’ll be, who they’ve talked to and even set your phone to automatically call them in [...]

Technology Ruined My Friendships in 140 Characters or Less

August 18th 2009

I thought Maria would be interested. I thought she’d be interested in the message. That’s the only reason I forwarded her that email. The last thing I expected was the following response:
“Anslem, PLEASE stop forwarding me messages. I’d much rather receive a personal message. Something from YOU, directly TO ME, not some random joke, news [...]

The iPod Vibrator (The Best Invention Ever or Epic Fail?)

August 13th 2009

I was checking out my homie BlogXilla’s site the other day when I saw a very interesting advertisement. In the picture was a woman lying in bed while listening to an iPod with a blurry blue object in her hand that was directly in frame.
The name of the product was OhMiBod and the tagline read, [...]
