Casino Royale with Cheese May 29th, 2007 @ 7:35 am PDT
A week or two ago I linked to a video clip my friend made: Casino Royale with Cheese, a seriously funny film about how James Bond would handle being paired with a really annoying partner. It’s a great little piece of web satire that’s now been nominated at the MTV Movie Awards! Go vote for […]
Simon Winchester May 29th, 2007 @ 6:53 am PDT
It’s hard to believe that it’s been over a year since I read Krakatoa — The Day the World Exploded: August 27, 1883, by Simon Winchester. Because I loved that book so much, at some point around Christmas I bought A Crack in the Edge of the World: America and the Great California Earthquake of […]
The Lodge Steakhouse, Los Angeles May 29th, 2007 @ 6:16 am PDT
On Sunday night we had dinner at The Lodge Steakhouse on La Cienega in Beverly Hills. The place was almost empty and for the better part of the night we had the entire large dining room to ourselves. For some strange reason this dark, rustic, wood-grained, hunting-outpost-themed restaurant was blasting hair-band hits of the late […]
Fighting Pirates May 25th, 2007 @ 8:10 am PDT
Great quote in an article at Gizmodo on the futility of enforcing copyright law: According to blueprints from the Acme Company, the MPAA will next attempt to mount a large red rocket and light its fuse while aiming it at the place where the Malaysian movie pirates are eating strategically placed birdseed.

Days Alive Calculator May 24th, 2007 @ 6:51 am PDT
According to bonkworld‘s Amazing Days Calculator, “This is day number 12,386 for people born on June 26, 1973.” I’m mildly irritated that I didn’t do something special for my 10,000th day on November 10, 2000. Must make a mental note to celebrate my 15,000th on July 20, 2014. Hopefully by then I’ll be able to […]

Samsonite Black Canyon Duffel May 22nd, 2007 @ 8:00 am PDT
Major bummer: The Samsonite® Black Canyon 22″ Wheeled Duffel that I ordered last week is out of stock and won’t arrive for at least two more weeks. My dad’s got one of these and I’ve been hunting for it online since early last year. I finally found one and was hoping it would be here […]
