atomatic: Overheard in movie theater restroom: “Daddy, I’mma jump in the toilet!” “Kyle, stand over there.” “Daddy, I see your weiner!” “C’mon Kyle.” When he came out of the bathroom and told me the story, I thought I was going to piss myself. From yesterday until today, I think I’ve said “Daddy, I can see your weiner” about 37 times. Just now, as I typed out the phrase, I...

This sounds absolutely ridiculous, but Lizzy Caplan is in it, so I’ll probably be there on opening night.

Trash day - always an adventure
me: hey, I didn't want to get dirty, so I didn't drag the bags to the curb (only the can). Also, they left a note on our trash pile.... something about it being over the weight limit. Also... I can't remember if I put on deodorant today. I will keep you updated.
Adam: fuck
me: I know, I'm sad about the deodorant, too

Just in time, too
I was browsing a web page that listed decades from the ’20s to the ’00s and I surprised myself when I read ’00s as “oughts.”  It’s bizarre for something that felt so strange and unwieldy just nine years ago to finally become a natural part of my vocabulary.

FOX, if you insist on keeping Mary Murphy on the judges panel for So You Think You Can Dance, can you at least do me the favor of turning her mic off during the initial auditions? Some of the dancing is bad enough without her cackling layered over it. kthx.

Eisley - “Trolley Wood” I’m kind of obsessed with this song right now. I’m also fascinated with the composition of the group: 4 siblings + 1 cousin.

I was wondering if it made me a racist to think that it’s ridiculous that he’s even being considered for the role. Guess not. Can you even imagine the uproar if his role in Ray had been given to...

PC Pro: News: Mozilla preparing to scrap tabbed... →
pete3: I’m quite happy they are having this competition.  They are right about how the brower is quickly becoming it’s own OS and that after 7-8 tabs, they are basically useless.  It should be interesting to see where the web goes if mozilla adapts something completely new. I will give up my tabs when you pry them from my cold, dead hands.

If you have a friend or relative to whom you supply IT support, you really should be using LogMeIn.  Adam has been using it with his mother for a while and I got a chance to use it with my dad last night. I walked him through the process of importing photos from his camera into Picasa and uploading a Web Album.

Even after all my bitching about Tumblarity, I felt compelled to tag my Tumblr for appropriate placement in the Directory. I’m working on a pretty hard-core project at work, but I gotta be honest: describing my Tumblr—and let’s be honest, myself—using only two words from a limited list was the most difficult thing I’ve had to do today. After a bit of back and forth,...

nedhepburn: topherchris: david: There are a few special directories.  Don’t tell anyone. Ahem. How should I word this… Oh, I got it.

I had a feeling “fuckyeah” would become its own directory category once the Directory feature came out of beta and people...

Just to say it again
heyjk: Apostrophes are never used to pluralize something. Not numbers, not acronyms, not abbreviations. So all those billboards saying “homes from the low 150’s” are WRONG. (Should be 150s.) Last night during the Magic game, where the on-screen graphics identified “time outs left” as “TO’S” — was WRONG. (Should be TOs.) Our own beacon of journalistic integrity in Orlando, News Channel 13, has...

I’m getting a little sick of these gimmick Tumblrs that reel me in and get me hooked and everything’s great for a few weeks (or even a few months) and then boom, they just drop off the face of my dashboard.  I’m looking at you, slickyparty and pre-durst.

streeter: Don’t Stop Your Screaming Another week, another song!  I dig this one a lot, not only for the music (which came out so close to the original) but also for the video, which was truly inspired.  Sam and Vinny did a mean, mean job here.  Jon and Lindsay are also great.  My sister, Heidi, gave me a line in the song, too.  So thank you, Heidi, for “Some will sing, some will booze.” Up...

As I was leaving the office on Friday, my boss called out to me and told me that “someone from Burn Notice” would be coming in on Monday to do some ADR in our audio suite. I pressed for more details but all he said was “I have no idea who it will be, but I can tell you I’m bringing my copy of Bruce Campbell’s autobiography just in case.” I was dialing Adam...
