The world is a Twitter
Yes kids, I’ve started Twittering so people who are interested in that sort thing can following me here. Follow with reckless abandon such exciting activities as:
Updating my PS3!
Complaining about lack of sleep.
Bitching about lousy service.
Fun and excitement for all! For those who REALLY REALLY care about this sort of thing, I’m using twhirl for my [...]
First 20 minutes of King Corn
First 20 minutes of King Corn, a documentary on America’s addiction to the yellow crop. Here’s a bit more about the movie.
Have you been wondering why Americans are so overweight? Or why certain foods are so cheap? Have you heard our average life expectancy is headed down, not up? Two college friends set out with [...]
And There was Much Rejoicing
Microsoft announces it’s timeline for Windows XP (Or what I call “The death of Microsoft”…hooray!)

Understanding the Credit Crisis…
Or why the subprime meltdown could mean a world of hurt for us Americans.
As is often the case with innovations, though, there was soon too much of a good thing. Those same global investors, flush with cash from Asia’s boom or rising oil prices, demanded good returns. Wall Street had an answer: subprime mortgages.
Because these [...]

Heath Ledger - Dead
The most tragic to me about Heath Ledger’s passing is this picture.
Damn, I really think he’s going to make a great Joker, sadly we’ll only get to experience it once.

Not The Daily Show, With Some Writer

Random thought of the day
Would you rather be part of an indie band with a few sales through a small group of distribution points or be part of the same band with no retail distribution points except a million downloads through your internet site?
James Howard Kunstler: The tragedy of suburbia
From the Ted talks series, James Howard Kunstler talks about suburban sprawl and the loss of urban design. It’s a longish video (21+ minutes) but still worth watching.
My favorite quote:
“If you stand at the apron of the Walmart over here and try to look at the Target over here, you can’t see it because of [...]

Comments on Halo 3
My reactions to Halo 3…or Halo 3:This is it?!?
In a frenzied marketing mish-mash that not even the evil demons of all of Hollywood could dream up, Halo 3 finally crashed into XBox 360’s world wide on September 25th. I traded in nearly every old system, video game and accessory we had in the house, two [...]
Here’s my two cents…
Here’s my two cents…you can take it or leave it.
Microsoft’s Windows Vista is the shittiest operating system I have had the displeasure of using.
That is all.
New Urban Cowboy Trailer
After visiting Chicago for a week, I’ve learned to appreciate the urban lifestyle. Having the ability to walk, grab a cab or take a train to anything you desire allows you to experience everything about a city instead of zipping through it in a car. I’ve quickly learned to hate the suburbs, where I currently [...]
Robert Kiyosaki and the housing market
“Do you think the Federal Reserve should intervene to save the economy by dropping interest rates?” My reply then as well as now: “No. This is a capitalist system, not a communist one.
