the beastly monkey man

Sorry its been so long. I made a sizable change in my life and much of my time after the day job is being used less idly. I have three projects I’m working on. I don’t mean to be overly dramatic it’s just that until these things actually come to fruition it’s hard to know if they could succeed or…

When people complain about a company that company usually takes steps to improve it’s quality. But the TSA isn’t very keen on quality, or self improvement. And they don’t like it when people complain about them, so they’ve put their heads together and came up with a brilliant idea. Ready? The TSA decided that if you complain about them that…

It a Sunday afternoon. I’m still disappointed by a crappy run this morning. I pulled the muscle in my left calf last week pretty bad and even though it’s still tight I wanted to run today. I was wrapping up the first half mile when my left calf decided it didn’t want to be a muscle anymore and promptly exploded….

I had grand plans to spend time in front of the keyboard over the weekend. Yeah, those ideas? Think of the Titanic. Think of the Hindenberg. Don’t get me wrong, it was a great weekend when you ignore the part about lack of sleep, but still a good weekend. There was just no time to write. Okay, that’s partly true….

Todays post comes a request I got recently, which is what apps does the Beastly one have on his iPhone. I know, this won’t be for everyone. Some of you have Blackberries, some have Androids, and others have two halves of coconuts that you bang together.   I don’t know about you, but there are times when texting takes too…

The internet is an All or Nothing place when it comes to our information. The moment you tap any information about yourself on a web page it’s captured, and yes that’s true even if you don’t hit the Enter key. We tell ourselves that we can trust (or hope we can trust) the company on the other side of the…

      As you might have noticed there’s been no Beastly posts for a while and I’ll tell you why.   I’m an expressive guy and I was bored to tears with the format of my original site. Plus it was a little cramped and the layout sucked. I needed more room to roam. After poking around here and…

I’m a kid at heart. I’m also a zen warrior, a master spy, and the guy that taught Indiana Jones everything he knows… in my own mind. In reality… well, we’ll just leave that sleeping dog lay. So, back to being a kid at heart. What I mean by this is that I don’t let maturity dial down the enjoyment…

If you’ve seen The Great Race you know this by heart as Professor Fate and The Great Leslie discuss their predicament on a slowly melting iceberg. The Great Leslie: [measuring the iceberg] Thirty seven inches to go. Professor Fate: Oh, 37 inches to go. Huzzah! At the rate we’ve been melting, that’s good for about one more week! The Great…

After a week of eye straining, brain numbing, frustrating stress I was ready to see the back of this week and wasted no time it starting it right. I finally tweaked the last bit of my website to my liking. Had one of Karens delicious dinners. Watched Men Who Stare At Goats with the family. Then sat out in the…
