Elevator Warning March 26th, 2009 @ 9:48 am PDT
Both elevators in my office include this notice: SHOULD THE ELEVATOR DOORS FAIL TO OPEN DO NOT BECOME ALARMED. THERE IS LITTLE DANGER OF RUNNING OUT OF AIR OR OF THIS ELEVATOR DROPPING UNCONTROLLABLY. PLEASE USE BUTTON MARKED “ALARM” OR TELEPHONE (IF FURNISHED) TO SUMMON AID.

The Office Musical March 5th, 2009 @ 8:28 pm PST
I just cannot understand people that don’t like The Office. Yes, I will agree that the Ricky Gervais / English / original version of the show was very well done and a grand comedic achievement. But after fifteen years I finally love NBC’s Thursday night TV again for two main reasons: The Office and the […]

Eloise: Los Angeles Music February 19th, 2009 @ 11:05 am PST
There’s a woman in my office who also happens to be the lead singer of Eloise. If you happen to be in Los Angeles and you get a chance to catch a show, you really should. I haven’t been able to see them live yet, but I have several of their songs in heavy iTunes […]

We have a tremendously talented group of unbelievably creative artists and some of the sharpest web developers on the planet. The games we produce are generally targeted at […]
Sexual Harassment Training November 21st, 2008 @ 7:08 am PST
Alexander McPherson, a professor of molecular biology and biochemistry at UC Irvine’s school of biological sciences, wrote a bitchin’ letter to the LA Times on the subject of sexual harassment training. This is a must-read for anyone that has a brain. As far as I can tell from my colleagues, it is worthless, a childish […]
Out of the Office October 10th, 2008 @ 6:06 am PDT
Just for fun, let’s take a look at what has happened the last few times I’ve taken a vacation. Late August, 2005: I go to Europe to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday. Katrina wipes out New Orleans. October, 2007: I go to Hawaii to get married. My good friend, mentor, and business partner dies of a […]
Rude Fortune August 1st, 2008 @ 1:01 pm PDT
A few weeks ago I wrote about how annoying it is to get an “affirmation cookie” instead of one with an actual fortune. Well at lunch today one of my co-workers got what we thought was a horribly rude fortune cookie. Instead of the usual mindless drivel, instead of even a useless affirmation, the “directive” […]
