Today the US Dollar and the Canadian Dollar are worth exactly the same. Crap. I wonder if Canadians are going to be pissed that all their books still cost $10 more?

Google now has their very own in-house lobbyists. I wonder how this will affect the company’s “do no harm” ethos in the future.

One of my biggest problems with this show (and any tattoo reality show for that matter) is it’s attempt to pass fabrication as reality. No artist has a 5 minute turn around time for the preliminary drawing of a good portrait. The fact is since all of the tattoos on the show are prearranged the […]

The Lolrus died Oh no, they be taking my bucket…permanently. #
The notes feature on my iPhone has been coming in really handy. I had no idea how much I’d use this. #
FYI, you can send a Talk Like a Pirate Day ecard from AmericanGreetings.com if you are so inclined. #

In an effort to try and make the most of Fall, Alana and I have been taking the dogs to a lot of fun outdoor activities. Sunday we went back to Bow Wow Beach, and Monday afternoon we visited Kendall Hills in Boston Township / Peninsula. Both were a great chance to try out my […]

If you didn’t already know, American Greetings has an ecard just for this occasion Send someone you know a Talk Like a Pirate Day ecard.

Instead they’re still using the WordPress favicon in their blogs area. It’s surprising for me to see such a high traffic site choose a blogging platform instead of a full featured CMS. I presume they’re using some other CMS for the rest of the site, so it’s bizarre they’d deviate for a sub-section. I guess […]

Making a lot of progress today, off to a good start! #

Scandal and corruption in high school football. I know sports are character building and physical education is important, and blah blah, but really I think sports and schools should be totally separate. Let cities offer intramural sports for student athletes. I went to a school where football had a bigger budget than the arts and […]

How banks rip off college students and the government, from Slate yesterday. This reaffirms my believe that student loans are a huge racket and not designed to help students, but to send them spiraling into years of debt.

CS3 and Leopard might not be compatible, or buggy at best. Great, guess I’ll be holding off on the initial release of Leopard.

NY Times catches up with the rest of the web, and stops charging for most access.

I’m sure everyone else is as tired of hearing about these things as I am, so I’ll try to keep this post succinct. Basically my RAZR was a piece of crap and dying. The phone I had before it, a Nokia 3300 tried to pass itself off as an mp3 player and PDA, and it […]

Perhaps the most genuine and endearing film I’ve seen in a long time.

watching shortbus again with Alana. #
Trying to offset the fact that it’s monday with a caramel apple cider, even though I’ve sworn off drinking calories. #
Mondays, they are so slow. #
Also hates people talking shit on Ohio, because they’re never actually from Ohio or know anything about it. #
Do not take notes when you have […]

Freakonomics on the sad state of civil employees’ pay. It’s absurd that we as a culture will pay someone a million dollars to hit a ball with a stick, but the people who keep us safe, and the people who shape our children in their formative years make so little.

My favorite article from A Brief Message so far. There’s a great quote from Henry Ford.
If I had asked my customers what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse.

Recent work by Marian Bantjes, a woman who knows typography and illustration like no other.

Lately I’ve been reading a lot about Miranda July’s work suffering the twee film backlash. I find this mostly unfair since I don’t even really consider her a filmmaker. I’ve always seen her as a performance artist, though she’s really a jack of all trades. Me and You and Everyone We Know and No One […]

This movie was a caricaturish, hipsterized vision of the South. Alana called it “if Williamsburg had a white-trash theme party.” There were approximately three minutes of film where Christina Ricci wasn’t writhing on all fours. Samuel L. Jackson isn’t much of an actor when he isn’t being type-cast as the angry swearing dude. The only […]

@daveseah that’s the best Indiana Jones IMHO. #

coconut crabs are the scariest thing evar #
Alana is playing zz top on guitar hero, gross. #
It is a lovely day today. #
En route to bow wow beach. #

Someone searched for "Cairn puppy, sick" and got to my site. That breaks my heart #
@joshawesome as the commercial goes, take beano before and there’ll be no gas #
cannot pry Alana from Guitar Hero. #
overhears people talking about Mind of Mencia. Blech. Worst. Show. Evar. *headdesk* #
Is so glad it’s Friday so I […]

Rottweilers? Are you kidding me?

Hopefully if I’m not still sick this weekend I plan to roll out some updates to the site, fixing some of the bugs that come with hacking up a blank WordPress theme. First off, I noticed that if you use the search in the sidebar, the results are returned- in the sidebar. Strange.

A GameStop manager in Texas only sells games to students with good grades. This is quite the contrast from our local GameStop where the kids working behind the counter swear a blue streak, and tell you the wrong release dates for games, and occasionally send you home with an empty game case.
