Less artistic, but more appropriate to today (just make sure you turn up the volume, it’s pretty quiet):

Ruby from the Hive Mind

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Dan Benjamin has done it again.

Today he’s posted full instructions for a “roll your own” install of Ruby, Rubygems, Rails, and Mongrel on Leopard. As soon as I get home I’m going to take a stab at it, but I’m sure it’ll be as easy as his previous efforts.

Reasons Why I Love “The Sneeze” #2874: Naming a toilet.

Make sure you won’t disturb anybody with your laughter before you read this.

Vampire Weekend

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

If you get a chance, check out the music of Vampire Weekend. Yesterday’s Fresh Air contained a review of their self-titled disc, and I have to say that while their music sounds quite derivative, it’s still VERY pleasant to the ears.

You can hear two tracks, “Oxford Comma” (Trey and Phil may go bonkers over this one…) and “M79″, on their website. I’m a particularly big fan of M79, and after hearing snippets from several other tracks on the Fresh Air review I may have to snag the album.

Don’t Call Me White

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Alright, I know I’m not the first person to talk about it, but it’s just so funny that I can’t contain it any longer.

Go read Stuff White People Like. And don’t take it too seriously or I’ll pee in your Cheerios.

It’s a Small City After All

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

So this morning I hopped in the car and started driving up Seminary Ave. on my typical route to work. I was almost to Brookland Park Boulevard when I noticed a tall, lanky fellow standing by his car on the side of the street. A feeling of recognition hit me, and as I started passing by, I realized it was my friend Isaac from when I was in high school! He recognized me, too, so I parked and jumped out.

It turns out that he just purchased a house three blocks up the street from Valerie and myself. So now I have one of my old pals living in the same neighborhood. Rock, rock on.

The above shot was taken by my buddy Dave on his first day shooting film with a manual camera. I think he managed to capture my prettier side.

Movie Get

Today Wes Anderson’s The Darjeeling Limited releases on DVD. After I pick up my developed film, I’m heading straight to the store to snag a copy. HUZZAH!
