Some White Trash Version of Shania Karaoke March 29th, 2007 @ 6:23 pm PDT
I don’t get addicted to songs very often. If you’ve spent any amount of time reading this site you know that I am infatuated with music and I love just about every genre. I have no doubt that I have spent the great majority of the last two decades with music playing. I love listening […]
Favorite Sports Sites March 28th, 2007 @ 7:09 pm PDT
A friend of mine recently asked for a list of good sports websites. If you’re only getting your sports fix from ESPN.com then you’re missing a lot of good stuff. I’ve had a Sports bookmark folder since at least ’95. Here are the ones that I visit on a regular basis:
Seven Years of Blogging March 28th, 2007 @ 9:09 am PDT
Two weeks ago was the seventh anniversary of this blog. I meant to do something exciting to celebrate the event but I completely forgot. (Does that make this site one year old in dog years? Or is it the other way around?)
Vista Roadblock March 27th, 2007 @ 8:41 am PDT
Washington — At least two federal government agencies are refusing to upgrade their computers with Microsoft Corp.’s Windows Vista operating system, citing concern over costs and compatibility issues. In a Jan. 19 memo to staff, Dan Mintz, the Transportation Department’s chief information officer, imposed an “indefinite moratorium” on upgrading desktop and laptop computers with the […]
Peyton Manning on Saturday Night Live March 25th, 2007 @ 8:02 pm PDT
Last night’s Saturday Night Live with Peyton Manning and Carrie Underwood was excellent. I am so happy that the show is in something of a revival right now. It’s a long-overdue, glorious return to funny. The last dozen or so SNLs have had me in stitches on more than one occasion. The digital shorts and […]
Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America March 25th, 2007 @ 8:00 pm PDT
Late Friday night I finished reading Barbara Ehrenreich‘s Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America. This one’s been in my personal queue for several years; I sort of randomly found it on the shelf while looking for something to read on the plane to New York last week. It’s a psuedo-scientific exploration of […]
David Gets Engaged March 25th, 2007 @ 7:55 pm PDT
I am sure that there are still plenty of people in the world that don’t know this yet, so I have a bit of an announcement to make. I am now officially off the market. It feels a bit awkward to write about it here, which is strange because I have used this site to […]

Read the Friday Five …Comedian Richard Jeni Found Dead March 12th, 2007 @ 7:51 am PDT
One of the all-time best stand-up comedians, Richard Jeni (official page, currently down), apparently committed suicide this weekend. My girlfriend and I read about his death on Perez last night as we were getting ready to watch Rome. Just the night before, while celebrating a friend’s birthday at the Dresden, a few of us were […]
