I’ve been blogging at Shiny’s Takeout for slightly under two weeks now. This comes on the heels of my old (and still existing) blog, Shiny @ Mindsay, which I’ve had for the past few years. But this is a new community. New readership (albeit not nearly as many folks reading this one quite yet). I [...]

Yes, I’ve seen the writing on the wall. “There is an oversaturation of blogger radio shows.” But that’s not gonna stop me one bit! If FOX had the “stop” attitude when they acknowledged the oversaturation of idiotic game shows with has-been comics in the role of game show host dishing out simple questions to Middle [...]

It’s been a week already? Today was incredibly busy at work — so I didn’t have any time to duck out and do my writing. I wish I had — things were incredibly tense and this would have been a relaxing moment of the day. But hey — it’s still Friday in some parts of [...]

As I had mentioned in the comments to my previous entry, Brotherly SPAM, I decided to email my brother, a congregational rabbi, in the format of a Nigerian 419 scam email to humbly invite myself and my family to his place for the Passover holiday. Lucky for me, he found it while checking his SPAM [...]

But before I do: Tonight began the Jewish holiday of Purim, a day which chronicles the events as written in the Biblical Book (Scroll) of Esther The synopsis: About 2500 years ago the Persian King Achashverosh, [...]

It’s been about ten days since this blog went live — which means it’s probably time to use it for good and not evil at least once. Hence — a cause! No, nor Darfur. Not saving the great white mosquitoes from being clubbed by baby seals. This is for a television show which I’m not [...]

I need to finalize our plans for the Passover Seders in April. This year, like most other years, I’m hoping that we’ll trek on up to my brother’s place in New Jersey. He’s a rabbi at a synagogue up there which holds a community-wide Seder which we’ve been a part of for several years. And [...]

This past weekend. At Great Falls National Park in Great Falls, VA. My kid. Me chasing my kid over the rocks. The sound and resolution suck. My kid is kind of cute, though. Enjoy!

As some of you may already know: I’m not usually a McDonalds person. There are a few reasons for this: I’m a vegetarian, for starters. Although it’s arguable that their hamburgers don’t really contain anything that would really qualify as “meat,” I still tend to stay away. It just isn’t my thing. The notion of [...]
