The Sunshine Open Mic Podcast

Posted on May 22, 2012 by Matt Aromando

Dr. Radio Show and Me

Posted on May 14, 2012 by Matt Aromando

I love listening to a good podcast and as of yesterday I was on one too: The interview part is mostly about stand-up (my style, influences, and rookie-ness), then we talk about whatever and play a game with no name, … Continue reading →

Tough Luck

Posted on May 11, 2012 by Matt Aromando

Check out this bike scene: I walked by this little disaster the other day. What I can gather is that a car hopped a curb, smashed into a “No Stopping” sign, and managed to crush a bike with said “No … Continue reading →

May the Fourth

Posted on May 4, 2012 by Matt Aromando

Today is, what I would guess, the nerdiest holiday of the year, “May the Fourth.” As in, May the Fourth be with you, a Star Wars related pun. I have a love/hate relationship with puns. They can be cheap humor, … Continue reading →

Genericized!

Posted on May 2, 2012 by Matt Aromando

I think we’ve all heard of this concept, a brand name that becomes the common term for something—like Band-Aid™, Hula hoop™, Tupperware™, Aspirin, etc. All of those are former or current brand names of things. They’re called genericized trademarks and I … Continue reading →
