I was checking and rechecking my phone endlessly as noon approached. I could see gray skies through an adjacent office window. During one of my clock checking benders, I got into a brief planning discussion over a Team Project we’re working on. It was finally noon before the conversation had ended. I spared no time […]
making money from your blog
My blog is worth $16,371.66.How much is your blog worth? They say that you’re only worth as much as you’re willing to walk away from. They also say that you’re only worth as much as your car, as much as your GPA, as much as someone is willing to pay you, as much as you […]
good things come
I bought the South Park Season 10 pack on iTunes earlier this year and was annoyed by the fact that Apple decided to split the season into two parts and essentially double charge if you wanted the second half. Lame! I’ve been so busy with The Work that I didn’t have any time to use […]
my american accent is…
What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland “You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston […]
a case study of mark
I saw STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN last night at the Lagoon cinema. Good times! Around 100 other folks showed up for the screening, so I wasn’t completely alone. One of my coworkers was joking that I was going to go see the film in costume. How silly is that? I don’t even […]
universal licensing best practices?
Yesterday I received an email from BTTF.com advertising their holiday gift catalog. Their BACK TO THE FUTURE t-shirts manufactured by Thunder Creek piqued my interest. I own two other Thunder Creek t-shirts and they’re good quality, so I scoped out the inventory. A red t-shirt with a DeLorean pictured caught my eye. But wait! What’s […]
tenacious d: pick of destiny
I saw TENACIOUS D: THE PICK OF DESTINY yesterday at the Southdale. I learned two things while I was sitting in the theater. One, that the Southdale Mall is the oldest indoor mall in the United States. That’s not too hard to believe since it’s freakin’ 3 degrees outside right now. The second thing I […]
a day at the chronicle
I’m going to post something I wrote years ago in the 1995 timeframe. I gave up, obviously, but what I did write down is pretty damn funny. Read on. Updates from my time in Houston will be forthcoming, incidentally, but in the meantime please step into the DeLorean time machine and enjoy this *fictionalized* recounting […]
i’m not lovin’ it
I’m sitting in the McDonald’s off West Road and the Sam Houston Tollway. I was lured here by the promise of free internet access. They don’t have that, but $2.95 for two hours isn’t bad. I brought a giant sack of mail that I need to go through along with my laptop. There is no […]
venom in spiderman-3
I’m totally exposing my Spider-Man fanboy side this weekend by posting some photos that I’ll probably have to take down once the wonderful folks at Sony catch wind. In the meantime, here’s some shots of Topher Grace transforming into Venom from the upcoming Sony Picture release SPIDERMAN 3. And last but not least, a previously […]
