I have been focusing much more on taking and editing photos than ever before. I am now even considering bumping up the presence and importance of photos here. I am thinking about a group photo blog too, where all authors can upload photos. I will also be turning comments on for photos soon. I would […]
After a long and grueling 4 months without it, my [very delicate] G4 Powerbook is finally operational again. I meant to post about this last week when it happened, but I forgot in all my excitement. Thanks goes to Joergen who was kind enough to lend his expertise and hardware and software to help make […]
Look how much fun one can have with Hot Dogs.
Click on the little pictures to get printable cheat sheets for your next BBQ adventure. Actually, maybe I should just get a hot dog from the guy on the corner and make a wicked little elephant? Via ElephAntVille. Yey…
If you haven’t already heard of Ninjai, you must go see him now. For a while the creators were forced to take the flash short movies down because demand caused their bandwidth bill to be too high. Now it seems they are back on track, and their stoic little ninja boy is still in rare […]
This fog-screen, formerly known as WAVE or Walk-thru Virtual Environment, is pretty cool. A thin curtain of fog is generated by controlled airflow with tiny particles, and images are projected onto it. It’s pretty interesting idea for installations and interactive environments. At the very least, it looks kinda fun.
So there’s a web designer, and he’s got a big gut. He wants to get rid of it, like we all do, but he can’t muster the motivation. So, he builds a website, a cool one, called chubbygut.com, so that we can all go look at his progress and send him emails. He takes a […]
What is the next line to that song? Blinded by the light… Thes guys have some ideas. Does anyone really know? Rossi?
I don’t know about you all, but I like to re-use my Poland Spring water bottle over and over again until the water starts to have a flavor. What do you think that flavor is? It’s a little bit citrusy, but it makes the backs of my gums itchy. It’s probably not good. I think […]
When checking my stats on reinvigorate yesterday I ran into a guy who made this little site: boycottbuymusic.com. Pretty good, isn’t it? Then somebody else pointed out this one: dontbuymusic.com…
Thought you would get a kick out of this…
A reader named Charlie wrote this to me earlier today… I thought it was interesting…
“Can we have a discussion about celery? I see at I can not start my own topic so…
Let me just say this, i hate when deli’s put celery in their chicken salad and tuna salad. What the eff? Why […]
Chris, where can i find the rest of the chapters for Ninjai? Im hooked.
Chris responds:
I think some other people also had trouble finding them too. So, first you go to this page. You click “broadband” and then “save preferences” and then you should see numbers across the bottom of the movie and a link that […]
Wow. I just watched a brilliant little short film, a fable actually, on AtomFilms. Maly (Little) Milos obviously has a hard little life. I felt his little pain, and I rejoiced in his little joy. You really need to see this. I think Witold will particularly enjoy this wonderful little story. Actually, Milos reminds me […]
Some of you know, I am sure, who Nick Park from Aardman Studios is. Others of you may not be so familiar. Nick is without a doubt, the king of stop motion claymation. He is responsible for the whole Wallace & Grommit series that many of you know and love. Less familiar is one of […]
Where did all the fucking comments go? I don’t know what’s going on. Something is seriously wrong. Please be patient. I will try to fix this beeeeotch.
I am sure you all know that iTunes Store uses AAC format for purchased music. This format has certain restrictions in terms of how many times you can burn it and how many computers you can transfer it to, etc., like WMA. Whatever. I am fine with that. I don’t care about sharing, and Kazaaa […]
Just like that, the power went out for 50 million people. Crazy. 1st world to 3rd world in 1.2 seconds. New Yorkers coped though. I don’t know about the rest of the world. I think the Canadians were looting. Not us. Calm, cool and collected, walking across the Queensboro Bridge. Well, maybe not so cool. […]
I have seen crashed ATMs many times. (Even crashed one myself a few years ago…) But this Macy*s sign is an instant classic, isn’t it?
Wish I could find a link to one of the new Nestle commercials. They are very cute commercials with happy families eating ice cream.
The sound track is very happy too… it is an instrumental version of Lou Reed’s Dirty Boulevard… Such an interesting choice of soundtrack… I wonder why they did that?

I know I told all about Zempt, the Windows software for blog posting. I really love it. But now I am switching back to OS X because my Powerbook is finally fixed, and need good software for Mac. I searched around and found many, but didn’t know which to use. So, as usual, I wrote […]
The warranty on my 20GB iPod is about to expire so it’s time to check my battery. It doesn’t seem to have the life it used to but I’ve never been on a regular schedule with it, plugging it in whenever it’s low.
So only one thing to do. Take my fully-charged iPod, set to ’songs>play […]
This game reminds me of the days when i used to sit in Chris’s basement and play Nintendo and drink iced tea and eat pretzels into the wee hours of the morning…i used to bug him to play Nintendo’s baseball so much that he just gave it to me. (he hated baseball). Ahhhhh the good […]
Here’s a guy with WAY too much time on his hands… Henry Raddick reviews books and products on Amazon.com and he is hysterical. There’s 280 of them! I don’t know if he’s actually read any of the books, but the reviews are really very funny. I wouldn’t be surprised if his reviews were turned into […]
A friend of a guy I used to work with created the greatest wedding site ever!
I am pretty sure they are both in the film industry - and have friends in the industry, since this looks so professional.
Check it - it rules!
Hi all. I know some of my visitors are New Yorkers. Others of you have good friends who live out here. Well, I need a roommate for my enormous apartment in Astoria, Queens. I just posted an ad to craigslist.org, but I’d prefer to have friends or friends of friends. Read on if your interested. […]
Edward Tufte has some strong opinions about this in Wired this month. Read on… It may change the way you think about presenting.
Driving with Chris last saturday we had a conversation about products we really like. Consumer products that impressed you with their design, function, taste or value. It could be a big ticket item, but we were concentrating more on the small stuff like diet ginger ale (tastes better than regular ginger ale) or Chris’ […]
Found these crazy great white shark photographs by clicking on a link on Alaina’s site… She also linked to some more info……
She found the link on Geisha asobi blog…
I haven’t been writing anything at all. I have been so freakin busy lately. I am swamped at work launching the next version of the site I am working on, plus planning for upcoming versions. At home, I have been cleaning and cleaning and cleaning, and trying desperately to find roommates so I can keep […]
I am up late, avoiding my life again, and I had an epiphany. I have been modeling myself after Lloyd Dobbler and Peter Gibbons without even knowing it. But now I know and it feels good. If you don’t know who they are then this post isn’t for you…
Lloyd Dobbler is John Cusack’s character […]

Yo, VIP, Let’s kick it!
Ice Ice Baby, Ice Ice Baby
All right stop, Collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Then I flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop? Yo — I don’t know
Turn off the lights and I’ll glow
To the extreme I rock […]
I never forgot about this guy, but I think many people might have. The original viral pass-around still has his site. This crazy Turk, Mahir Cagri, still has a home at www.ikissyou.org. Maybe you are newer to the Internet than this was. Maybe you just need a friendly reminder of why the Internet sucks. Or […]
