Please wait while Windows calculates how it can suck even more.
It should come as no surprise to anyone that I lasted about a nanosecond before I broke down and bought a new computer (cat does not come standard). (Actually, cat does not come, period). It’s way more computer than I need — it’s way more computer than most shuttle launches need — and it was…
Electronic F—wit Foundation
It feels wrong, somehow, to find fault with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, because at least in principle, its existence is essential. The internet has gotten to be so ubiquitous so quickly, that we need an advocacy group to make sure that technology doesn’t outpace practical concerns like consumers’ rights. And we can’t leave it all…
Alas for you
When I was in high school, the rival school from across town put on a production of Godspell that rocked my world. I loved the music, I loved the concept behind the show, I bought the soundtrack and memorized it. When I went to college in New York, I spent my dining hall money to…
Todavía me gusta la música
A few weeks ago, I rocked the internet to its foundations when I spent an entire week posting lists of my favorite things to this blog. But even by those low standards, I still managed to under-perform on the music section, a fact that haunts me to this day. I’ve been digging through my iTunes…
Back to School
I’ve been dropping hints left and right that I quit my job, but nobody’s been taking the bait, so I guess I have to make an announcement or something. (I guess it’s pointless to even try to pretend there’s a distinction between professional and personal on here at this point. If any future employer wants…
First Person Maki
Via BeaucoupKevin.com, here’s one of my new favorite video clips: It’s from a camera placed on the conveyor belt at a sushi bar in Tokyo. This is exactly the kind of video that they should’ve put on the Voyager probe. If they’d had video sharing back then. Or video. Or sushi. Or Japanese people. (Japanese…
What Polar Bear?
“Best Week Ever” interviews Ben from “Lost”. Once again, the show proves that there’s no joke they can’t over-do, but Michael Emerson is pretty awesome in this clip:
Best Things to Eat
I got pegged with one of those blog-meme things by my friend Humuhumu. I feel obliged to participate, only because GREAT MISFORTUNE will befall ME AND MY FAMILY if I don’t. A blogger from Rome, GA failed to answer and IMMEDIATELY was beseiged by FLESH-EATING BACTERIA. Also, I want to celebrate Humuhumu’s honorable mention almost-win…
