Dollar Shave Club April 10th, 2012 @ 11:48 am PDT
I joined Dollar Shave Club the day their viral ad campaign hit Facebook. I received my first shipment about three weeks ago, but only this week started using their handle and blades. I chose the $1.00/mo level to start and can now confidently tell you that they’re surprisingly terrific. I’m very happy with the service […]
Real Products for Fictional Companies October 17th, 2009 @ 6:20 am PDT
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 […]

A Tremendous Number of T-Shirts May 25th, 2009 @ 8:10 pm PDT
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 of my […]
T-Shirt Hell Rules May 25th, 2009 @ 1:02 am PDT
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 a closet full […]
Hacked Checking Account February 9th, 2009 @ 11:53 am PST
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 using […]
Gators BCS Championship Gear January 21st, 2009 @ 12:18 pm PST
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 for […]
