The excellent local blog CurbedLA had an entry recently on artist Mark Bennett’s blueprints of fictional places. He has created very detailed floor-plans of famous pretend places, like the homes of George and Jane Jetson, Rob and Laura Petrie, and June and Ward Cleaver. (There’s a book, too!) I thought these were terrific so I [...]

It looks like my old team has finally updated its website. Florida Crew now a ton of great information, including hundreds of photographs, a Twitter account, and a Facebook page for alumni. They even have an online shop now. It’s great to see that the team is still going strong after more than 25 years. [...]

I guess they still had a bunch of 2006 hats in stock and were trying to get rid of them; you really can’t beat $34.99 for [...]

I am astounded by how bad the J.Crew website is. The .jsp filenames indicate that the site is Java. It is tragically slow and the senseless implementation of AJAX makes it near impossible to use. It’s almost 2009! How can there be so many horrible shopping cart systems on the ‘net? And for such a [...]

I have way, way too many Gator hats. I’ll admit this. It’s a problem. This one, though, is one of my absolute favorites. My friend Ryan gave it to me about a year ago and I have worn it to death. I’ve been trying to find another one and am looking for help. There is [...]
