damn! someone used my idea! ok, it's not really my idea. i think we've all seen jane's addiction's "been caught stealin'" video.

YES! it looks like my dream of converting australia into a magical land of dinosaurs is one step closer to becoming reality. excellent!

i have found something that must be read immediately; a list of rather homo-erotic sounding he-man characters. i'm particularly fond of fisto and mantenna. maybe they're gettin' nasty at the snake pit, or cruising behind snake mountain.

i'm surprised sssqueeze didn't make the list. i'm sure him and fisto are now living happily ever after.

so, it seems that time warner cable has deemed it necessary to block file sharing services from its customers. since time warner produces a good amount of the content being shared, it's no mystery as to why they're doing this. couldn't they just block arliss instead? does anybody actually like this show?

mayor wants to ban smoking in bars, yeah yeah yeah. i'm actually kinda torn about this one. i'm sure that my non-smoking friends will enjoy being around me more at bars if i can't light up every five minutes (after five gin and tonics/margaritas/etc i turn into the completely irresponsible human chimney). also, since i only really smoke when i go out drinking (which has become all too frequent, ahem), this could make the last years of my life a little less nasty.

on the other hand, this is new york, dammit. it's supposed to be a bit sleazy and nasty and not good for you. the ability to smoke freely in bars is just one of the many reasons why new york rocks and l.a./san fran don't.

note to self: not all flash cartoons are good.

the next time you go to your boss for a raise, and he goes "no", challenge him to a game of rock paper scissors. you will so have the advantage after reading this.

this is funny, good enough to kick you out of that post lunch slump.

kreblog has a good link to wired's first in a three part series on clear channel.

man, that new white stripes song rocks. same goes for everything i've heard off the new girls against boys. wow, maybe rock will make a comeback. have i mentioned how much ...and you will know us by the trail of dead absolutely rule? take that nickelback!

once a digital alarm clock is soaked with water, it takes upon these strange properties that can only lead one to believe that it's circuits have entered a higher plane of logic. it may begin telling military time, or although it may appear perfectly functional, it may stop telling time at all, deciding that it will be 7:26 for the rest of eternity. unfortunately, unless you've been trepaned you will not be on the same wavelength as your new "smart clock", so don't get really drunk and keep a full glass of water next to your alarm clock, mmmm k?

doesn't this seem extremely unlikely?

well, if you don't know by now, all the hard work paid off and in three years i'll have an mba from nyu. well, ok, there's still three years of hard work to come before that happens. i just hope i make it through while remaining relatively sane. :)
