Hot Fuzz is the second film (that I know of) to feature the excellent comedic duo of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Whereas Shaun of the Dead tackled zombie flicks, however, this fine film provides a loving mockery of/homage to the action movie genre.
I mean it - this movie is absolutely hilarious, expertly blending [...]

Vayniac 2007 Napa Cab
Thursday, August 30, 2007
HOLY CRAP!
Totally cool news from Gary Vaynerchuk on Wine Library TV today: he’s launching a “community wine” where many aspects of the wine’s end result will be determined by the folks involved.
I’m planning on buying at least two bottles so I have one to drink when it’s ready, and one to cellar for a few [...]
The Talk Show
Thursday, August 30, 2007
Gah. I guess I’m getting sucked in to podcasts.
I finally caved and subscribed to John Gruber and Dan Benjamin’s The Talk Show.
After listening to this week’s episode, I decided to hit the subscribe button in iTunes and start gathering the back episodes as well.
Drillbit Taylor?!?

This looks horrible. But maybe kinda funny.
But yeah, mostly horrible. Yeah…
Simon and Garfunkel…Original Emo Kids?
Wednesday, August 29, 2007
I’ve recently reacquainted myself with The Best of Simon and Garfunkel. I’m not generally a huge folk music fan, but there’s no denying the craftsmanship that went into their music and lyrics, and so I’ve been hooked all over again.
I also noticed that some of the lines in their songs put the most shoe-gazing [...]
The New York Giants at the Atlanta Falcons
Tuesday, August 28, 2007
Huzzah! My buddy Chris Malak and I just threw together a mini-road-trip of sorts. See, he’s a huge Atlanta Falcons fan (even without Michael Vick), and I’m a huge New York Giants fan.
Well he called me up yesterday to ask if I wanted to go with him to see the Giants play the [...]
Only Microsoft…

I have a Cingular (The new AT&T!!!) 8125 smart phone. This thing runs Windows Mobile 5, however, so the intelligence of the handset is pretty debatable.
You see, I work in an office. I don’t want my co-workers to hear my phone blasting That Song by Big Wreck every time somebody calls me, so [...]
Holy Airline, Batman!
Monday, August 27, 2007
I’m not really sure how I feel about this…
The Vatican is planning to launch a low-cost airline to shuttle people from Rome to religious destinations on pilgrimages.
I know a lot of people feel cynical towards the Catholic Church, but read the article and judge for yourself.
Bye Bye ‘Berto!
Monday, August 27, 2007
Geez, that took long enough. After months and months of endless obfuscation (or the most dim-witted and incapable public official in the history or governance…but come on.) Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has finally stepped down.
As with Mr. Rove, we’ll see now just how hard the opposing side plans to come down on the latest [...]
Con Riso: Success!!!
Sunday, August 26, 2007
Okay, so Mugs tipped me off that “sushi” doesn’t really mean, “with rice.” I still like the name I’ve chosen for my dish, and it’s stuck now, since my creation is a reality!
Tonight I made four rolls, and I deviated a little from my master plan, but I wanted to make sure it would [...]
