Buying the New Raconteurs Album is Instant MP3 Gratification

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

The last Raconteurs album served me well, so I didn’t hesitate to buy their second one. (It doesn’t hurt that I’m a long-time Brendan Benson fan either.)
What I didn’t expect was that I’d be able to buy the album as zipped up MP3s straight from the site. It’s great to see how far [...]

Jon Stewart is a Mensch (Maybe?)

Monday, November 5th, 2007

Update: A commenter below prompted me to take a second look at this story. It would seem the original story has been retracted, and there isn’t even proof that he paid his producers during the strike. It’s hard to tell what happened here.
Just when you think Jon Stewart can’t get any cooler, he [...]

Football, the Song

Sunday, February 4th, 2007

I don’t really know much about or watch football, but I can only assume it’s just like this, courtesy g33f.

Enjoy the game if that’s your thing and if it’s not, it’s a good day to hit up Disneyland for some rolly coaster goodness.

The best television I’ve watched all year was entirely on my computer in the magnificent form of Ze Frank’s The Show. In March of 2006, Ze committed to doing The Show for a full year. As The Show’s second March approaches, I’ve been waiting to hear what’s next for Ze. The Observer [...]

Hilarious idea.

“Cyber Monday” is a Lie

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

It’s unfortunate the press has decided to repeat “Cyber Monday” over and over without an ounce of research. If they did their homework, they would find that it’s nothing more than some marketers wet dream. While “black friday” may be the craziest shopping day of the year (which I refer to as “stay [...]

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

The quote that is the title of this post is from a recent podcast by Next Generation. If you’ve listened to gaming podcasts and found yourself disappointed with adolescent rambling and homo-phobic jokes coming out of the mouths of supposed professionals, the Next Generation podcast is a refreshing change with well-spoken conversation about the [...]
