Happy Halloween! We're going to see Brain perform tonight to celebrate. Started my new gig today. Whatever. Watch this space for updates. We had a crazy ass Halloween party. The apartment sustained some serious damage, but it's nothing that a little Febreze, some plumbing sealant, and an Ikea catalog can't fix. Special note to Jane Jetson: don't come back next year. There's so much going on! Today is my last day at Forbes.com. I probably won't have the same amount of luxurious slack time at my next job, so I might not be updating this page as often. And we are going to get a new car today! Tomorrow night is our 4th Annual Halloween Party. Decorations are mostly up. Pumpkins must be carved, and beer must be bought. Very much looking forward to it. I will try and figure out how to post pictures here from the party, I promise! I just found this, and had to post it: Barbie's got real competition now - The Get Real Girls. Six sporty dolls, and one is a mountain climber! I want one. Why weren't these around when I was little? Watch as these two people get fat. Brought to you by masterminds who gave us Stinky Feet.(thanks deb)
System administrators have excellent senses of humor. Router God features celebrity interviews, like Gillian Anderson on LAN switching and Alicia Silverstone on ISDN. Speaking of Alicia Silverstone, she too has given up dairy foods.
Two elephants are sitting in a bathtub. One elephant says to the other one, "Pass the soap." The other elephant says, "No soap, radio!" What the heck is an Interrobang?!?! We are going to try and have our new Atari 2600 set up for our party! Binghamton people: Remember the Grotta? And Lupo's? I quit my job today. I feel great.
Kristen, you're promoting heresy! More power to you. Here, phishy phishy phishy! The Moma Dance is posting Mp3s from the Vegas shows! They're not all there, yet, but they're working on it... Now I can't even shop at Old Navy anymore. Old Navy and the Gap are both owned by the Fisher family. Sigh. This page has some great examples of chatroom conversations between people and robots. Did you ever wonder what a gin and tonic looks like under a microscope? How about folic acid? Benzoyl peroxide looks particularly pretty, but I like rubies too. Here's the main site - enjoy. Gasp! Canadian librarians smoke pot! Most pet owners bear some resemblance to their animals, but this is ridiculous! Pure genius: the Web Economy Bullshit Generator. I often consult this site before attending meetings. More pictures of Alaska at FlightCam. I found this neat interview with Fishman. Last night, we ate at Uncle Pho, on the corner of Smith and Degraw Streets. I would only reccommend this restaurant if you enjoy ordering a casserole, and receiving noodle soup. Getting back into the daily work routine is very difficult after a long escape. Especially when your employer is launching a new site. Please visit and do a search, and make our traffic look good. Anyway, here are some linkies for you: Hands-free toothbrushing? Sounds a little dubious to me. Dr. Toast's Amazing World of Toast. Register your currency and track it at Where's George? (Thanks Duane, you big cutie) Also, a timely factoid: Triskadekaphobia, fear of the number 13, dates back to Nordic mythology. But the combination of Friday and the number 13 seems to have originated with Christ, whose last supper before his arrest seated 13 and he was crucified on a Friday. Thank you Mister Fernsler. Back from vacation, finally. We are on vacation! I won't be updating this until we get back from our various destinations. Here are some links to keep you busy in the meantime: See you in October! Online shopping from regular retailers is so passe. Going through other people's unclaimed baggage is the hip new thing. "Frontier Photography" - a great collection of photos by Edward S. Curtis of the wild west from way back when. If the Powerpuff Girls went goth... Librarian's worst nightmare: cartographic crime. Followup to the piece on the taste of sperm - "The Taste of a Woman." Can't tell the candidates apart? Don't know who to vote for? I think you should base your vote on which candidate's online store best fits your demographic. Check out the George W. Bush Store and Gore Gear. They are both a riot. My favorites are the Hebrew T-shirt and the bottled water. Fuck Dr. Laura Schlessinger! What an ass. Chickenhead is a wonderful resource of very reliable information. They explore the homoeroticism of fraternity life in some depth, and they also point out the merits of the heterosexual moustache. Also, check out their fantastic desktop gallery. (Thanks Mike) I found this cute comic strip the other day. Scary wedding dresses! Very entertaining. Should men wear boxers or briefs to maintain healthy sperm production? Check out this awesome map of National Hiking Trails. We went to see Brian play last night, and he was great, of course. Also saw Benny and Anthony, and Benny's sister Megan. Anthony and I talked about music (of course), and I mentioned The Funky Meters, whom I think he would really like. Duane is getting tickets today for Leo Kottke - November 10th at Town Hall. As for the coming election, the Republican looks like he still requires the services of a wet-nurse, and the Democrat resembles a large pudding. And do you think Hotel California is poetry? While coming to work this morning, I stepped into the elevator that brings me to the 11th floor of this building. Two older men were also in the elevator, and they had pressed the button for the 10th floor, which is another Forbes office. The shorter, uglier man said the following: We rented Ghost Dog this weekend. Great movie. I think everyone should see it. I'm kind of mad at myself for not seeing it in the theater and giving Jim Jarmusch my money. Next time. We also saw the Brothers McMullen on cable, which was very cute. I'm just not inspired to put up any cute links today. It's Monday, and I'm kind of tired. We went out for dinner last night with my mom and stepdad, and today I'm afraid that I reek of garlic. So I'm not talking to many people. The felafel was very good, though. If you have any ideas for me, please use the link above to email me suggestions. Thank you. It's that time of the month. This poor guy needs help decorating his awful apartment. Over the weekend, Russ taught us how to play Blackjack. Then, Duane bought a game for the computer, and now we're hooked. I found this cool site that gives you the rules to almost every card game imaginable. It's a good resource.
VIRUS ALERT!!! No, not really. Vermont has more writers per capita than any other state. Another good reason to move there. Are you sick of sending self-addressed envelopes to Pueblo, Colorado for more information? Well, cheer up! Scientists are finally figuring out how to grow plastic. Bon voyage, Josh! Say hi to FrokenFraken for us. Before he left, we went to Jade Plaza in the Chinatown of Brooklyn. Too bad for Doc and Libby, who dined on the desserts. Great food, great experience. Yesterday we also tested our knowledge of Caribbean flags. Here's a cute page with them all, and other countries too. Just hit your stop button at the appropriate time to stop the background from moving on the page. Very important and interesting to those people who find themselves wearing bright yellow coats, drinking alligator wine, and putting skulls on sticks: You may be a child of Screamin' Jay! Personal note - it looks to me like we're going to hit great fall foliage color on our vacation! |
