Great new website for video games

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

Gamespot has gone downhill since the mass exodus of its editors; luckily, Jeff Gerstmann and a few of the other scoobies started their own site, Giant Bomb. It already has a better community than Gamespot, and the blog is worth adding to your RSS Reader.

Health Goals

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Today I’m going to start actively pursuing some of the health goals on my 101 Things list. I’ll be counting calories for 30 days, eliminating soda from my diet for six full months, and eliminating fried foods from my diet for six full months.

Time to box up the fry daddy and say goodbye to my lovely lady, diet coke!

Response to and thoughts about the remix to ignition

Sunday, July 6th, 2008
  • No worries, you’re not rude.
  • Hey, I’m feeling you, too!
  • I’m not a football coach, but I once played flag football in high school. Does that count?
  • K, here’s my toot toot; you can put that beep beep over on the coffee table.
  • I’m a little lost and, frankly, a little turned off now that you’re talking about Murder She Wrote.
  • You’re about to take your key and ’stick it in the ignition.’ That’s a metaphor, isn’t it?
  • Ooh, you’re naughty!
  • Generally, the jeeps I’ve been in have had plastic windows that don’t fog up. I think you’re exaggerating a little bit.
  • Wait, now we’re in a truck? How’d that happen?

Yelp

Friday, July 4th, 2008

I’ve begun posting some restaurant reviews to Yelp; you can read them here. I have the best of intentions and plan to continue writing reviews; we all know that I’ll stick with this for a few weeks and then guiltily quit. Get ‘em while they’re hot!

Burger King Gold Card

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

If I owned a Burger King Gold Card, I’d weight six hundred pounds.

(not really — I’m with Robert Downey Jr., Burger King kind of grosses me out)

Buffy comics

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

If you’re not reading Season 8 of Buffy in comic form, you should be. You’ll gain even more respect for Faith and Giles and you’ll want to hug your old pal Joss Whedon.

Whedon talks about the next couple of issues in this interview with MTV (full of spoilers!).

Gardening under sidewalk grates

Can’t you picture Wall-E taking care of these plants?
