Boredom
It’s Saturday night and I’m laying on my bed, listening to The Velvet Underground on headphones, surfing thru a backlog of Exploding Dog and downloading an .avi of the Jack White Coke Ad. The room is lit only by a 5 year old Ikea desk lamp made from translucent black plastic and my Powerbook screen.…

A Cheap n’ Easy Way to Use 120 Film in a 616 Camera I’ve been falling back in love with film cameras lately. Once I’ve got some cheddar, this seems like a fun project to go do.

Mash Ups Go Mainstream
Maybe it’s just me, but did anyone else find it a bit weird to hear Go Home Productions “Rapture Riders” on Alias tonight? I know it’s on Blondie’s “Sound and Vision” and everything, but I remember when I downloaded that track off his website well over a year ago. It’s just sort of a trip…

Delete Yourself! You Got No Chance To Win!
Don’t you hate it when you go and do something stupid? I was planning on taking a few of the business card templates that I designed last week and releasing them. But as I poked around my hard drive, I realized that they’d gone awol. Turns out I’d deleted them when I went thru a…

Under The Covers
While it was already one of my favorite Velvet Underground songs, I’ve recently become addicted to Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs blissfully wonderful take on “Sunday Morning”. I’d offer it up for download, but it looks like they’ve posted it up on the MySpace page for Sid n’ Susie. I suggest you go give it…

Lazy Tuesday
I’ve been looking for work, doing business card mockups for Sarah and watching burlesque videos on Something Weird OnDemand all day long. If I could just figure out how to get paid to do this for a living, I’m pretty sure I could be a pretty happy dude…

Unfocused Group
So while I love the look and feel of Hemingway and it seems to be working okay on Preshrunk, I think I’m going to need to go elsewhere for my templating needs. It’s nothing personal, honest… The only breakdown is the fact that I really need to start throwing some ads up1 but every tweak…

Whenever this Milky Way commercial comes on, I always get a little sad because the guy ends up eating his tiny girlfriend. I mean, dude, the girl called you a buffet of manliness and all you can do is laugh and bite her in two? Fucking savage…

A Brief Observation
Man, Akismet gives me boners. Aside from a few false positives the other week, it’s working wonderfully. In fact, I think I’ve only seen two or three bad comments slip thru to the moderation level. I thought dealing with the flood of spam would be a lot worse than it was when I decided to…

20 Under 30
Does anyone else think it’d sort of be funny to stuff LAist’s ballot box for their 20 Under 30 with the name of a prolific blogging.la contributor? I’m pretty sure Dave is under 30… Well, I’m getting a chuckle out of the idea — or perhaps I’m loopy from the Benadryl I took to shake…
