I turn 31 years old today. This video sums up what I’m finally realizing about America and our youth-centric culture. Watch “Craig Ferguson – Youth” on YouTube Don’t get me wrong! I still think youth is precious, beautiful, and important. But as I grow, I’m continually shocked at how little I change, how culturally acceptable [...]
I’m pretty opinionated when it comes to Twitter. I use it a lot, and I’m often annoyed by it almost as much as I’m delighted by it. Because of that, I’ve built up a list of etiquette rules in my head over time, and I’d like to share those rules with you now. I’d love to hear yours in the comments.

Occasionally, I’ll see a price on Amazon and wonder whether it’s really a fair price or not. Did Amazon recently hike it up? What about the 3rd-party vendor prices for new and used versions of that product? It’s hard to tell. I found a site today called CamelCamelCamel that does exactly that, and it really [...]
