Happy New Year
Filed in blog, Fri, 31 Dec 2004, 11:51 pmLisa and I bailed on the whole First Night thing tonight. It’s turned into a quiet evening of watching the “Twilight Zone” Marathon on Sci Fi. Telly Savalas is about to get it from Talking Tina. They really need to make more dolls like that - “My name is Talking Tina, and I think I’m [...]
Does this make me look fat?
Filed in blog, Wed, 29 Dec 2004, 1:10 pmMy prize pickup during our shopping expedition on Monday was a hat. Yes, that’s right, a hat. But not just any hat. No, this was a “Crushable Leisure Felt Hat” from Woolrich. As the tag says, “You can crush it, roll it, or pack it in your bag without damaging the hat’s good looks.” It [...]
Holiday Cheer
Filed in blog, Mon, 27 Dec 2004, 12:10 pmI’m not one for celebrating holidays, and I despise the very thought of Christmas. However, these times certainly do give us the opportunity to spend time with our family. And for that, I am thankful (whoops, wrong holiday). So I hope everyone has been enjoying their time off, and spending it well. Me, I’ve still [...]
Gallimaufry
Filed in blog, Thu, 23 Dec 2004, 5:49 pmIt’s like some kind of phenomenon, I just can’t ignore the memes today. Of course it helps that they’re more than the typical quiz. And it helps even more that this typical “random playlist” one has been renamed to ‘gallimaufry‘. I mean, come one. That’s just one cool word. Right up there with ‘loquacious‘.
So anyway, [...]
Let the rankings begin
Filed in blog, , 3:28 pmFunkmaster Jess is rating movie series. Who am I to deny the Funkmaster? A mindless meme-follower aparently. I left off Harry Potter (because I’ve only seen part of one) and Austin Powers (because they all sucked). In their place I’m adding the Coen Brothers films (minus the latest, which I didn’t see) and Tim Burton’s.
System Restored
Filed in blog, , 1:57 pmI messed up my computer at work. Real bad. Something (most likely a stupid Sonic driver) was causing BSOD’s. So I checked Dell’s site for updates. Foolishly I used their new “Automatic Updates” tool. They must have a lot of work left to do there, because it looks like it installed all the wrong drivers [...]
The Red Sox got nuthin’ on Philly
Filed in blog, Tue, 21 Dec 2004, 6:23 pmI’m not even going to get into the whole TO horror. This is what you come to expect as a Philly fan. For those of you who doubt, I will remind you that McNabb (who was the leading League MVP candidate at the top) fractured his ankle and was not 100% for our second consecutive [...]
Cheerleader Toss
Filed in blog, , 5:45 pmOh no, because we really needed more time wasters on the Internet, Best Buy brings you the Cheerleader Toss. This is wrong on so many levels. It’s a tie-in with that silly “Silence is Golden” pseudo-trailer AMC shows before movies. They have other goofy things on the site (like demonstrations of “Old Skool Moves” and [...]
Holy Crapballs
Filed in blog, Sat, 18 Dec 2004, 5:03 pmI’m going to see the Eagles tomorrow! That’s right, I’ve got tickets to see the Eagles put a whooping on the Cowboys down at the Linc! Okay, I don’t actually have them yet, but my sister is picking them up today (from a player’s house), and tomorrow morning they will be in my hands. This [...]
Firefox in NYT

For their contributions, the names or all 10,000 participants would be printed in the ad. Today the two-page ad is actually running. You can download a copy in PDF or even order [...]
