Revenge of the Sith, a scathing review

I hated Star Wars Episode 3, Revenge of the Sith with a passion. But I feel like I am the only one. It’s me against most of the world with the exception of a small minority. People keep asking me why I hated it so much, and I am tired of saying the same thing […]

Deal of the Century

I finished up dinner with my girlfriend at a little restaurant on 13th and 8th. We hadn’t decided how we were getting home yet, so we walked around the block, onto 14th, and towards the Square. It was a beautiful night. We walked for a block or two, between 7th and 8th, where the block […]

In 1989, I wore black, high waisted, Z. Cavaricci’s with 100 belt loops, pinched, tucked and rolled into a taper above my black Reebok hightops with the velcro strap stuck off to the side. I wore a white cotton turtle neck under a red champion sweatshirt, with a gold herringbone necklace on the outside, from […]

meet corey

Meet Corey, the Starbucks homeless-nerd. Stephanie and I decided to interview him the other night to answer all of your probing questions. Armed with notepad and iMic’d iPod we approached him at his “office” in Starbucks. He was a friendly and personable, well-spoken, and witty. He charmed us instantly, and we spoke with him for […]

Altoids iPod Battery pack v3

After receiving much attention and many comments about the last version of the Altoids battery pack, decided to do something a little different for the next version. I was inspired by Griffin Technology’s TuneJuice emergency battery pack for the iPod. The elgant, little, white pack provides up to 4 hours of power to the iPod […]

iPod Altoids battery pack v2

I got some new Altoids tins, borrowed a Dremel tool from Mitchell, and purchased brand new firewire connectors from NTC. Here’s my second, cleaner, tighter, much nicer attempt at a sweet external battery pack for iPod. Once, again, credit goes to Drew Perry for the design and inspiration. His is made inside a deck of […]

The following story is rated R for mature language and sexual themes. Reader discretion is advised.
The kid with the older brother or older cousin is always the first guy in the neighborhood to know about sex. It’s just the way it works. Parents think the “birds and the bees” talk is something special, but they […]

she’s lump! she’s on my head.

I am watching my TiVoed version of the MTV Movie Awards right now. Unusually, it sucks this year, even though the 3D award intros are awesome. I am bored, so here is a pic from yesterday and today of my head. I had to take off work today because I felt like such shit […]

Special thanks and congratulations to Heath and Cynthia for getting married and for letting me be a part of it. Special apology to them both for almost […]

high-writer

Dude,
I am so totally high. Like my super high all-the-time friends are never even going to believe this. I am gonna explain over and over and they won’t buy it. First of all, I wished for 3 Muskateers candy bar to a bowl of Saltine Crackers and leftover fortune cookies, and then I reached in […]

My formerly bloody finger has already stopped bleeding and is healing quite nicely. Even though the inside looks like raw […]
