American Idle

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

Oh man, please tell me I’m the first person to use “American Idle”, that’s golden.
I really don’t have anything to say past that. The guys are on tomorrow, and maybe they’ll do better than the girls, who were either great or crap. I get it, you’re live on television in front of millions of people […]

MySpace, PST is not magical, it’s just the coast.

Sunday, February 12th, 2006

Site will be down for maintenance from 2:00AM PST to around 4:00AM PST. February 12, 2006.
Dear MySpace:
It’s currently 6:50pm on February 12. What part of 6:50pm falls between 2:00am and 4:00am? No. No really, which fucking part? Also, “AM” is the morning time (latin: “before the sun crossed the line”), so this only […]

So here’s my beef:
Wired reported that […]

Loves Threadless.com!

Monday, February 6th, 2006

I’ve launched Loves Threadless.com. It’s a nice little fan-blog for all things Threadless related.
For the uninitiated, Threadless is a really fun shirt company that sells most the shirts I wear.
Take a look, subscribe, and drool over how much hotter the design is over there than here. And then bug Tony to make U\S pretty for […]

Steak of the Union

Thursday, February 2nd, 2006

Did you guys see the “President” last night? I didn’t. If I wanted to be condescended by someone less intelligent than me I’d go to the indie record store.

I haven’t plugged this nearly enough: visit Jeffrey Rowland in all his glory at OverCompensating, a somewhat daily comic blog about real things that happen in the […]
