Nuxx Mug
I am very jealous of Sarah’s new coffee mug…

Lytro
Hello, Lytro. You’re a mighty handsome gentleman, aren’t you? One day, I will be able to justify purchasing you. Until then, I’ll just be hanging out over here. Staring longingly. *sigh*

Lighten Up
I understand putting a little milk in one’s coffee — but “lightener” just sounds nasty.

Summer Sunset
It might be the pollution that does it — but I wouldn’t trade days that end like this for anything.

Boba Fett = Pimp
Every so often I feel like I miss out by not making the trek down to Comic-Con. This is one of those times.

Bad Gas
It’s gas prices like these (spotted last night on the corner of Cahuenga and Franklin in Hollywood) that make me really glad that I take the Red Line to work. It should be noted that I filled up on Monday in northernmost Orange County for $4.13 for regular — so this station is likely gouging…

One Step Closer
So I just stumbled onto Pushr via Installer.app tonight. After playing with it for a few minutes, I’ve gotta say that I feel like I’m getting close to my holy grail as far as Flickr apps go. Okay, so I can’t select which photos I want to upload or give them titles or tags —…

Please Advise
Since I work primarily in support, I read a lot of email day in and day out. After a while you start to pick up patterns. One day, my coworker Mike P. started to notice that an awful lot of folks finished their emails with the phrase “Please advise.” So much so that he started…

What Ever Happened To…
underbunny? Back in the early days of Flickr her photos gave folks these wonderfully haunting peeks inside the world of undertaking. And even tho I didn’t realize that she hadn’t posted anything since November of 2005 until just a few minutes ago, seeing her name on my contact list made me feel like throwing that…

Shoe Coolers
Sneaker people freak me out sometimes with their levels of obsessiveness — and that’s saying a lot seeing as how I’m a huge t-shirt nerd — but I’ve gotta admit that they pretty much have the whole display thing down pat.

Hooray For Voting!
Exercising your rights is an awesome thing — even if you do it at the last possible minute. Hopefully those of y’all in the U.S. took the opportunity to vote today too…

Plus One
It’s time to mark the start of another year on Sarah‘s calendar. She’s now officially the age where she can get a break on her insurance and rent a car without any penalties. And while that’s kind of boring compared to the American porn/tobacco/voting age (18) and the booze/nightclub age (21), I still think its…

Brand Recognition
Speaking of art exhibits, Sarah and I took a day trip from Bakersfield last weekend to go attend Coop‘s Brand Recognition opening at sixspace. It was something that I promised Sarah that we could go do and I’m glad that I got the chance to take her to do it. As a reformed rockabilly, she…

Say What Now?
I received this communique in my fortune cookie at the Chinese place today — and I’m still trying to figure out what the hell it means. It doesn’t even make sense if you add “…in bed” to the end of it! P.S. Is it bad when your boss chuckles and says, “I’m sure you can…

All Up In Your Nameplate
Despite working a handful of desk jobs over the past 7+ years, when my coworker set my nameplate on my desk today, I felt like I’d finally found my way to my first real grown-up job. Shortly thereafter, I played a celebratory round of Super Puzzle Figher on the office MAME cabinet… ;)

Graduation
It looks like Flickr has finally managed to make it out of Beta! So does this mean they’ve gone 1.0? Nope. They moved on up to Gamma. *sigh* Those cheeky bastards…

Shabu Shabu
Charlotte: That was the worst lunch. Bob: The worst. What kind of restaurant makes you cook your own food? Actually, it was pretty damn good… But every time I have Shabu Shabu this quote resonates thru my head.

The Street Finds Its Own Use For Things
Some of y’all might find this vacant billboard it to be a bit of an eyesore, but I rather enjoy how it’s been appropriated by the street art set.

Expired Film
FYI: The 99 Cents Only Store is a wonderful place to pick up recently expired 35MM film. In fact, I just picked up 5 rolls of Fuji Superia [24 exposure, ISO 100] that had a “process before” date of September 2005 for 99 cents each. So while I do know that expired stock can give…
