My Social Theory of Relativity
A lot of times when people get on public transit like a bus or subway, there’s an awkward moment of adjustment while they have to shift everything they’re carrying to access their fare or transit card. The space is usually tight, and no matter what, the whole room always lurches a moment later. I revel in this moment. I love when I’m staring at the floor absent-mindedly and I...

This chocolate pudding doesn’t even pretend not to be water jelly mixed with flavor powder and food coloring. It’s delicious.

A Happy Accident in Dublin
Too lazy to read all the words in this post? Here’s the point: See The Boat That Rocked (imdb / trailer) as soon as possible. There. How often do people jump straight to the point to save your lazy ass a little reading? You owe me. Last Thursday was my first day in Dublin (see 38 photos from my trip to Ireland here). I had arrived the night before and cousin Sean took me out to dinner. But...

My Real Life Story →
My blogging’s been all over the place for the past year or so while I’ve been struggling to decide which flavor of online supernarcissist I want to be (only-posts-when-he’s-in-a-humorous-mood-thus-creating-a-false-perception-that-he-is-a-brilliant-and-spontaneous-comedian guy? Arguably talented self-promo guy? Link-to-everything guy? Blog-about-work guy?). The result is that I...

Akron, Ohio, USA: Fresh Food For Thought On...
Self-described “new” Highland Square residents David and Amy Purcell recently wrote a letter to the West Side Leader about the years-old stalemate between the neighborhood’s residents and the city government and property owner. A quick recap For non-Akronites, the deal is this: Albrecht Inc. owns a chunk of land on a well-traveled corner that would be ideal for a grocery store....

We've Moved (Here)
To Blogger and the readers of the old, blue colinmorris.net: I’ve put a fair amount of time into customizing this blog (old one), fine-tuning it to meet my creative vision as it has evolved over the last three years. The thing is, I have no creative vision, and there’s something better out there: Tumblr. Blogger, I’ve defended you. I’m about as loyal a Google advocate as...

The One In Which I Wake Up At Dawn
Can’t read? See a bunch more of these videos on YouTube. Recently, I decided rather deliberately that my new thing would be to wake up at dawn. I’m not an athlete or even a particularly motivated, carpe diem (latin for “lenten fish day”) kind of guy, but I dig morning light and the way sunsets look in reverse. Each night, I check the sunrise time in my city using Time and...
