Helvetica
Last weekend I was able to see a documentary called Helvetica. Although most people I’ve recommended it to this past week have been less than enthusiastic in their feelings towards watching a documentary of a typeface, I strongly urge anyone reading this to give it a fair shot. It is a short documentary […]

Movie: The Fountain
I don’t really have the opportunity to watch as many movies as I once did, but I recently saw The Fountain by Darren Aronofsky whom you might remember from Pi or Requiem for a Dream. At 96 minutes long The Fountain is an incredibly descriptive movie that says quite a bit more than movies […]

The Simpsons Ice Cream
I have commented before about the how cool Ben & Jerry’s is (pardon the pun), but it’s worth bringing up again because they are introducing a Simpsons brand of Ice Cream. The flavor will be called Duff & D’oh-nuts and it will only be available in Springfield, VT on their all-day movie premire celebration. […]

Alamo Drafthouse Downtown Closes
All good things come to an end. Even though I no longer live in Austin, I admit that I feel no small twang of sadness that the Alamo Drafthouse Downtown closed its doors. Perhaps that is a little melodramatic because they are simply changing locations, but this is the original. As the […]

no! you take the NBA Finals Championship!
Well, it’s anybody’s series now. Honestly, I can’t believe that we’re sitting here in this position. I never thought that we’d get past game six in this series. San Antonio was lucky to win game five and needs to get their act together for game seven. I didn’t watch game six, […]

a bunch of fun links..
One of my good friends recently sent me a link to one of the funniest collections of Charles Barkley quotes on the Internet. Take a look.
Slashdot recently had an article about who’s duty it is to recycle computer parts. One of the comments was an absolutely hilarious parody of Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant.
Another […]

Goodbye Reggie!
The Pacers lost. I have to say it was quite a moving basketball game. Reggie looked like he could have played another 2 or 3 years, but as he said in one of his many post-game interviews, we should look at how he played in all the games of the series to see […]

West Wing week!
It’s West Wing week on Bravo! They claim to be showing West Wing reruns all day and night, but they don’t have one one right now. Either way though, I’m hopeful for tomorrow since it seems like they are doing West Wing episodes all day long. This could mean that every lunch […]

allergy tests..
When are we going to get the Wal-Mart of the medical profession? A place where you can go and get the most basic of products and services done for a modest price shouldn’t be impossible to create and maintain for the medical profession. However, it doesn’t exist most places. Why can’t I […]

ah, vacation..
I am sometimes surprised at how relaxing vacation can be, even when all you do is go home for a few days. Sometimes the small things can really rejuvenate you. There are tons of stories written about how Americans don’t take or get as much vacation as various other parts of the world. […]
