  • Dear Santa: Here’s my wishlist for 2010

    Dear Santa — WTF, dude?  I mean, I know we haven’t talked in like 25 years or something, but really?  Cancelling the best show on TV (Dollhouse, duh), and what do we get instead in 2010?  Freaking Caprica?  Are you on drugs?  And don’t even get me started on Stargate: Universe…or, rather Stargate: Who’s Driving this Bus?…

  • SoftBank is my new favorite company in the world

    how can you not love a company that not only has a talking dog, and an American woman screaming something aggressive and samurai-ly in Japanese, but also has Quentin Tarrantino doing some crazy ass shit? that not convince you?  maybe these two ads with brad pitt co-starring as a sumo wrestler’s personal assistant may help:…

  • Free WordPress Plugin: Hello Ziggy

    so, you use WordPress.  and maybe you’ve turned on Hello Dolly.  but if you’re me (chances are, you’re not me, but we’ll pretend for the sake of argument that you’re enough like me to continue reading this statement and past this ridiculous parenthetical tangent), you don’t have Hello Dolly turned on because it’s obnoxious.  (no offense to…

  • Is Comic Sans really a bad font?

    Comic frickin’ Sans …do you even  have to ask? i get the SitePoint newsletter, Design View.  I used to pretty much auto-delete these or filter them to my spambox but when i started using Outlook again, and was creating rules to keep my inbox clean, i decided to just filter it to the folder where all…

  • how am i going to tell my kids there’s no christmas this year?

    gather ’round the fire, kiddies, it’s story time.  i’ve been hanging on to this one for a good long while, but it’s time for this rant to come out and rear it’s ugly head.  mostly, it’s a tale in which we laugh at people who have not been born with an overabundance of intelligence, but…

  • Oscar.

    Having just moved to Sesame Street, the cheapest vacancy available is rooming with Oscar the Grouch. Oscar the Grouch Graffiti I imagine living with Oscar the Grouch would be much like the Odd Couple. Oscar is never an inherently bad person, he's just grouchy. This would be most problematic in the mornings when I'm also…

  • rise above

    [audio:RiseAbove.mp3] so i had this long post all ready to run based on some stuff i discovered through clicking around a certain blogger’s twitter feed.  it became the fictionalized story of two like-minded neophyte bloggers who came to the blogging world from an altogether different online world — the online porn industry.  they both had similar…

  • MOOSE!!!

    d00d. we just saw a m’f’ing MOOSE in the park that is one block away from us. that might not be much when you live in the middle of nowhere, but this is downtown salt lake city (okay, not quite downtown, but close). that moose-shaped object in the picture is, in fact, a moose.

  • gwozdziec, track 4 and 5

    i’ve discovered a new method to creating randomized, creative commons-based music.  wolfram tones will generate an entire composition based on variables you define in probably every musical style known to man. wolfram has been essentially compiling a database of all knowledge, ever, and it is being used to power a variety of applications, of which wolfram…

  • ben bernanke revisited

    all this swine flu crap is depressing.  that’s why i thought it was high time to resurrect ben bernanke.   you tall glass of water, spencer.  i’m going to kiss you.  on the lips.
