It’s tough getting out of bed in the morning, thanks to the snooze button we’ve all grown to know and love. But the Nanda Clocky aims to change that: It’s a clock, with big wheels on the sides. When you hit the snooze button, it jumps off the nightstand and tears around the room until [...]
Granted, I probably clicked the headline for “Maine Gives OK for Bare-Breasted Beer” for the wrong reasons. But the story gets points for actually having some personal relevance: PORTLAND, MAINE — A Massachusetts beer importer has been granted permission to sell beers in Maine with labels showing Santa Claus and bare-breasted women.

In case you haven’t heard, today (December 30, 2006) is the last daily strip from FoxTrot. The press release is here, stating that the comic will become a Sunday-only publication. While Bill Amend’s strip will be sorely missed, I’m happy that he is winding things down before the strip jumps the shark. FoxTrot has been [...]

As I wrote earlier, the newest Transformers Movie trailer is out online now! Yahoo has the goods (linked to the HD quicktime videos), but Yahoo loses points for hosing up my Firefox browser. Meh.

Orchestral scores, piano scores, everything…it’s all available [...]
And now for something completely different… STEFAN G. BUCHER : 344 DESIGN Quoted from the WindowsSecrets newsletter: Every day, Stefan Bucher splashes a few blotches of ink on a drawing pad. Then, as you watch a short video in wonderment, he magically turns the random blobs into hilarious animal caricatures. It’s the Daily Monster! Hit [...]
We missed Thanksgiving because we were in Jamaica, and while they did offer turkey on the big day, it wasn’t quite the same. So this past weekend I tried my hand at putting together a Thanksgiving day spread of our own. Yes, I cooked a Thanksgiving dinner. Hah! Jen handled the pumpkin pies and the [...]

If you haven’t heard of it, check out Pandora.com. It’s Internet streaming radio, but on crack. I grow bored with my MP3s. Since I’m at a computer most of the day, I can check out most any streaming station. I’ve tried listening to online broadcasts of regular radio stations, and Internet-only stations tend to either [...]
