Neal Stephenson’s new novel Anathem is now in stores and I cannot wait to devour every one of its yummy 960 pages. Back in August Wired wrote a great profile on Stephenson which I suggest you read. I learned quite a bit about him that I did not already know and found it quite interesting. […]
“This election is not about issues” so much as the candidates’ images, said McCain campaign manager Rick Davis, in one of the season’s most notable pronouncements. Sadly, no truer words have been spoken. As I’ve watched everyone focus on Sarah Palin’s babies and hunting prowess, I’ve been especially frustrated that the real issues that we […]
For those who wake up each day and pray that Phish gets back together like yesterday, the fact that they reunited Sat, 9/5 to play a three song set at the wedding of former road manager Brad Sands might be considered a good omen. Then again, this could be like Led Zeppelin playing Live Aid […]
John McCain, affectionately known to me as “The Cadavrick,” needs to work on this microphone placement. There are some great photos from the recent RNC convention on the BuzzFeed site which should make you laugh. Via Jeremy

What a week it’s been if you care about American politics. The Democrats ran a mile wide love fest in the Mile High City which had me tuning in to CNN for four nights in a row. Each speech was a little better than the last and then when all the newspaper’s had Obama’s historic […]
I love Robot Chicken and saw the clip below last night for the first time. I was laughing out loud then and was still laughing today when I told some co-workers about it. After they watched, they could not understand why I found this funny. In fact, the words used were “one of the unfunniest […]
While I would love to sky dive – something that I have never done – I think I would rather take the Zero G parabola flight. First, because it’s safer, and second, because it simulates being an astronaut, floating around a contained space. It is more expensive than sky diving but a hell of a […]
