dispatches from the beach, vol. 2
the drive to the beach today was largely uneventful. i managed to get myself slightly off course only twice. i’ve decided that google maps doesn’t want people to get to the outer banks. can you blame them? in google HQ, there is some guy who is sick to death of douchebags driving SUVs around the east coast with their blazing OBX stickers. he wisely makes it difficult to find the...
dispatches from the beach, vol. 1
so today i left the comfy quality inn in williamsburg and hit the mighty road in search of the beach. i had a four-hour drive ahead of me, full of produce stands, weird billboards, and slow drivers. i arrived here at the beach house at 2:00. i was not properly prepared mentally for my arrival. first, i should probably explain my situation. every year my family gets a big oceanfront beach house...

THE PERFECT HIGH-FIVE
you can’t get awesome without being able to throw the perfect high-five. don’t even try it. from the nice folks at wired.com, here are some tips: 1. Always initiate. He who launches the high-five owns the high-five. Engage your upper-arm muscles, keep your wrist firm, and propel your hand like the meteor of awesome it is. (Maintain altitude and an open hand — this ain’t no...
