Conan O’Brian, on The Future of Television: “Televisions will eventually grow so large that families will be forced to watch TV from outside their homes, peering in through the window. Random wolf attacks will make viewing more dangerous.” link via Harlan
Bringing Down the House May 30th, 2005 @ 8:52 pm PDT
What a great book! I just finished reading “Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions“, and I feel like I need to take a nap. It’s a thrilling, true account of a group of college kids that managed — in two years! — to fleece the […]

Love at First Bite May 9th, 2005 @ 9:41 am PDT
And really, when you want to profess your love for someone, what could be more meaningful than biting off each other’s ring finger? “… it had to be our ring fingers. We were both just out of rough relationships, and wanted to both reclaim and be rid of those fingers… this has a permanence to […]
Speed Stacks May 6th, 2005 @ 9:33 am PDT
Are you as surprised as me that this is not on ESPN right after the poker and billiards championships? Apparently there is a new “sport” sweeping the country by storm: Cup Stacking, in which teams attempt to stack — and unstack (maybe that’s the “sport” part?) — specially designed plastic cups. File under: Decline of […]
