Thursday night I had my final final of my first term of grad school. The test was extremely hard even after studying for two weeks and going to multiple study group sessions. After the test I jetted off to meet Aaron, Caleb, Ethan and Roman at the Echo for the Budos Band show. The first […]

How to ruin the high school memories/culture of a generation
…. unless you were one of those hillbillies in high school that thought WWF was …”totally bad-ass!” … in which case I’m sure your memories of Stone Cold Steve Austin are tarnished now by “some bald fag.” For the rest of us though, this would have made sense as a joke on SNL in 1998. […]
The Palm Pre: Never coming to a store near you
Anyone close to me or that even reads this blog (a lot) knows that I have a love hate relationship with the iPhone and I’ve been patiently waiting for a true “iPhone killer” to be released. The next great hope was/is the Palm Pre. For once, this looks like the handset that will work for […]

Byron Day VIII
We started off Sunday with a visit to Red Balls Pizza. After which we went to Malibu Creek State Park. After walking down the main trail we stopped by the visitor center for a drink and found these old Macs. We continued on and climbed up to the first (easy) vantage point by the “pool” After […]
bad art
Friday night Sam and I went to the benign Culver City Art Walk. This Art Walk consisted of five or six galleries in a row on one street. Ordinarily this would be great except for two things. 1) no parking 2) most of the art was complete crap. At one of the galleries we found […]
Facebook status IM FAIL
