If you’re looking for a solution to getting your iPod to play in your car, don’t buy a Griffin SmartDeck. I wanted to replace my current makeshift system (a dissasembled and Frankensteined with electrical tape one of these and a Radio Shack cassette adapter). It sounds great, but there are two main problems with it: ...

I’m sorry posting’s been so light, I’m working a lot and trying to study and sleep enough, and it leaves me little time to do anything interesting enough to post about here. However, I did find one story in my surf-o-rama that might bring some joy to Troy: Why robbers should never target cartoonists.

I got a turkey sandwich today for lunch, and I asked for it with mayo and mustard. I discovered when I returned to my desk to eat it that I’d recieved it with mayo and 1000 island dressing. It was still delicious, so I didn’t care, but it begs the question: How on earth do ...

Marion Barry has tested positive for cocaine…again. Five to one he’s re-elected Mayor of D.C. by at least a 10 point margin next electoral cycle.

Please, oh please let this report of a Matt Damon/Ben Affleck remake of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid be untrue. ContactMusic’s not the most reliable site, so there is some hope, but… I mean, I’ll grant you, Damon and Affleck will have the sexual tension undertones well-covered. Still, wow. It takes a lot of ...

Well, you won’t hear me whining about not having a job for at least a few months, because…I have a job! I’d been helping out someone who was replacing their assistant at the show, and I apparently did pretty well.
