The return of Bookman!

I used to love books. Okay, I still love books. But these days is that I mainly just buy books and never actually bother reading them. There was a time when I would read a dozen books or so in the course of a summer. Unfortunately that time is long since past. Over the last [...]


That time of year again

Alrighty, I’m too tired/lazy to mince words. This Sunday is the semi-annual Hoboken Art & Music Festival - the spring version. Lisa and I shall be in attendance, but for the first time in years we are completely lacking a home base. Obviously we no longer have an apartment there, but on top of that, [...]


A simple request to websites

If you are going to tell me to fill out a form online and print it out, would you at least give me the courtesy of making it fit on a page. Okay, it doesn’t have to fit on one page, but please don’t have it spill one or two stupid lines of copyright info [...]


Quick quote

I have to remember this one:
“I have a biology question. What’s scarrier, a clown-sized spider or a spider-sized clown?”
- Fred (the funny guy from “Life on a Stick”)


Irony

My site’s been needing a re-design for quite some time. I want to get the gallery back up and integrate areas for projects I’m toying with. So the May 1st Reboot, or more specifically the CSS Reboot, sounded like a good idea. But I was skeptical of putting up a holder page on the 25th [...]


Offseason? What offseason?

Boy am I desperate for football news. I’ll jump on anything these days. Thankfully, the draft is this weekend, which finally gives me something real to talk about. Not that I couldn’t gush about the Trotter and Ritchie re-signings or bitch about TO’s headline grabbing ways. But this is when we start to see next [...]


Gone before its time

I wish I had followed Buttercup Festival more regularly, before Elliot decided to pull the plug on it. What a wonderfully charming comic he created. But my constant procrastination also led me to never ordering the now sold out books. Even worse, I didn’t even get the t-shirt I absolutely needed - based upon one [...]


Stacked House Development (on a Stick)

I’ve been meaning to talk about all sorts of TV goodies lately - of the non-AI variety that is. So, where to start? Hmm, I guess I can work my way across my silly attempt at a clever title - uh-oh, that means I start with Stacked! How embarrassing.


Geekness squared

This one should definitely get your inner gamer and/or experimental a capella juices flowing. Check out this performance by a group from the University of Wisconsin (this is in Quicktime (blech) and has sound, of course). Yup, that’s right, total geeky goodness. :)
(Thanks to eclecticism)


“If I had to order someone out of a catalog…

…to be obsessed with me, it’d probably be her.”
What a great line, and I’d definitely say that it describes Caroline Dhavernas to a “T”. If I wasn’t already convinced that Wonderfalls was the greatest show to never get a chance, that line would surely solidify it. If you didn’t get a chance to catch the [...]
