They have this thing on VH1 called “Most Outrageous Game Show Moments,” which is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Years and years of wrong answers, slip ups, etc., packed into one hilarious hour. I just about fell off the couch at this exchange, between the host of the British version of Family ...
This is what FinalCut Pro was invented for. Wish to hell I knew who did it, the editing is brilliant. Thanks to, oddly enough, Weigel, for sending me this. I’m sure the rest of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy will eventually get him for this.
The words “meteor crater” do not generally bring excitement to people in my 18-25 age group, unless a) they’re geologists or b) they’re space nuts. For some reason, over the last couple of years, I have turned into the latter, although more about the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo era than now, since then, there was this marvelous sense ...
Gene Weingarten writes in his column about the Washington Post’s vaunted internal anti-spam blocker not exactly doing its job: “The Post, for example, had to eliminate certain words from its spam filter when it discovered that completely innocuous e-mails were being filtered out.

However, not right now, because I have a pretty good buzz on from going to the Wild Hare, a very good reggae club in Chicago where my roommate Katy met Joe, her current boyfriend. It’s a great club with really good music (and props to the guitarist tonight, I saw he has the exact same ...
Wow, Las Vegas is fun. It’s the Disneyland of Sin, the Sketchiest Place On Earth, however you wanna put it. It’s expensive as fuck, especially at New Year’s, but at least for me, it was well worth it. This will definitely stick out in my mind as one of my most memorable vacations. Well, at ...
Okay, I’m making progress on the Vegas story. I swear, I’ll have it up here tomorrow, because I have nothing better to do. Yay, sloth! Although I did go down and pay my Bartending School tuition today, so in a couple of weeks, I’ll have no excuse for this anymore. But anyway. This thing’s going ...
