Real Products for Fictional Companies

Saturday October 17, 2009

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 [...]

Florida Crew

Thursday October 15, 2009

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 [...]

A Tremendous Number of T-Shirts

Monday May 25, 2009

I have right now — and I know this because I just counted — slightly more than 150 t-shirts in what I would consider “heavy rotation”. This seems absurd to me. It’s even more ridiculous when you consider that number represents the t-shirt count after I just tossed about 20 into the back [...]

T-Shirt Hell Rules

Monday May 25, 2009

Last week Kelly told me to start following Sunshine Megatron — the founder of T-Shirt Hell — on Twitter, so I did. The first tweet I saw from @smegatron was a #followfriday request, so I posted a tweet saying that T-Shirt Hell is cool. (And that’s true. If I didn’t already have [...]

Hacked Checking Account

Monday February 9, 2009

Well, it’s finally happened. After over a decade of using the Internet for 10+ hours/day, someone has attempted to steal my identity. I went to my Washington Mutual online checking account to review my balance this morning and discovered a dozen charges that were most certainly not made by me (or my wife).
Someone [...]

Gators BCS Championship Gear

Wednesday January 21, 2009

To celebrate the Florida Gators third BCS Championship, I headed to the fantastic FootballFanatics.com site and purchased a 2006 / 2008 hat combo pack and a couple of t-shirts. 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 [...]

Concept2

Tuesday December 30, 2008

I am seriously considering buying myself an erg. There are two craptastic ones at my gym, and I haven’t rowed on a nice one in so long that I have almost forgetten how tremendously painful it is. We have plenty of room on the back patio for it. And I’m not exactly [...]

J.Crew Follies

Wednesday December 17, 2008

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? [...]

My Favorite Gator Cap

Monday October 13, 2008

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 [...]

DG3G

Sunday July 13, 2008

I dragged myself out of bed at 5:00am today and played 18 with Andy at Hillcrest Country Club. I shot an embarrassing 63 on the front 9, but an at-least-average 55 on the back 9. (My father-in-law gave me a round of golf lessons with the club pro at Lakeside Country Club as [...]
