Memorial Day is the official American barbeque day. I honestly think that’s what it means to a lot of Americans. Either that, or just another random name for a three-day weekend. Holidays are such funny things. Did you spend any time today thinking about those who gave their lives in the service of our country? I did, but only because… Read more →

After today’s matinee performance of Pick Up Ax, I was over at my friends Eron and Amy’s place. Eron just got the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time: a 1979 full-size Asteroids video game. Do you remember this? He’s got one of the original ones, with the “Copyright 1979 Atari” burned in to the bottom of the black… Read more →

The world is really shedding some tears over Sinatra’s passing. It’s all you see on television. As I was driving up to the theatre last night, I saw a couple of tributes to him along the way. The first was skywriting in the air over Sinatra’s home in Beverly Hills. I heard a story about it on KFWB, looked up,… Read more →

Frank Sinatra Dec. 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998               Today is a very sad day. The Voice is gone. One of those days that will remain etched in your memory forever; you’ll always be able answer the question, “Where were you when you heard?” I was standing in my living room, flipping aimlessly through the stations. When I… Read more →

Today, a new addition to the site: the Rappcam! I don’t have any particular reason for doing it. But then again, I don’t need a reason, so it works out pretty well, wouldn’t you say? I was inspired by the .zannahcam., which is still of a much higher quality than mine. But oh well. Trying to install the stupid thing… Read more →

Okay, it’s 1:17 am on Easter morning, so I suppose I can be the first to officially wish you a Happy Easter. To my body, though, it’s still yesterday. I’m sick right now, so what the heck am I doing up? I guess I’m still a little excited about the flyer for Pick Up Ax that I just finished. I… Read more →

I really don’t like change. That’s weird, because in my industry there’s no job security and folks are always looking for their next gig. The entertainment business involves more change than just about any other line of work I can think of. The only people for whom it never changes are those who never work. And come to think of… Read more →

I love the rain. A lot of people certainly don’t, with El Nino and all. Just think of those people in Laguna Niguel whose homes slid down the mountain, and the poor condos that got crushed underneath them. Of course, one could argue that it’s not really Mother Nature’s fault; after all, cracks starting appearing in the foundations of those… Read more →

I hadn’t a clue that today was the first of April until I was browsing the web and came across an announcement on the news.com site that said CNET was entering the software market and would be releasing a web browser that was so incredible it would instantly crush both Netscape and Microsoft. It was a very genuine sounding article–it… Read more →

Do you use Mail Boxes, Etc.? I’ve oftened wondered what the “Etc.” part is all about. I think it’s “we’re gonna rip you off”. Okay, I know they’re out there to make money, but you’d think when they’re scalping you this badly they’d at least have the courtesy to avert their eyes while they’re doing it. I mailed a tiny… Read more →
