When I write for my stand-up act, jokes or bits or whatever, it usually starts with a weird idea popping into my head or starts with me seeing or doing something I’d like to poke fun at. I don’t often sit down to write jokes. I’ll sit down to finish ideas and work on them… Continue reading A kidnapping joke

It’s Aromando, say it right
My last name is spelled A-R-O-M-A-N-D-O. It is pronounced like ah-roh-mahn-doh or maybe it’s are-o-mon-doe.* People have an unbelievably hard time knowing how to spell or pronounce “Aromando” even though, for the most part, it’s pretty phonetic. I don’t really begrudge people for this (too much) because despite the fact that I should have sympathy… Continue reading It’s Aromando, say it right

A large, well established company buys a small but energetic company and probably ruins what’s great about it. Then I think about examples like… Continue reading Something about Instagram and Facebook
How I’ve Influenced the World
It’s been said a person would need to be a narcissist to be a stand-up comic. It’s probably true, I’m certainly not a counter example to this.

Teaching a Phone to Talk (Part 3)
I have a smartphone. The auto-correct feature for typing is pretty good and allows you to add words to the dictionary it might not otherwise have. As it would be, I have 217 words that I’ve added to my dictionary and most of them are pretty silly/unnecessary. Here is the third part (check out the… Continue reading Teaching a Phone to Talk (Part 3)
