They assume that I’m some kind of one-dimensional person that thinks that Apple can do no wrong. I’m not. I use a Mac for a few reasons, most importantly that the software that I like to...

Worse Than Knowing The Truth, Is Thinking You Know...
Late October of 2009. San Francisco, CA
As I bore witness to the happiness of young couples in the throws of nerves and merriment that young couples feel when at the beginning of a new relationship, I realized how pointless it all was. Not pointless to try to understand, or even for them to care about the feelings that this brought up in them. No it was pointless to envy them. I’m not...

Why the ending to Crazy, Stupid, Love is bullshit.
So this is obviously a spoilerific post about the ending of Crazy, Stupid, Love, a movie that I enjoyed a lot (but I just think one aspect of the ending is awful). You’ve been warned.
Read my thoughts after the jump:
