1. I’m in the final stages of ripping my CD collection, after which I’m going to sell the entire lot at work. All that music adds up to about 150 gigs when compressed to 224kps mp3. The new external hard drive sitting atop my pc will hold all that plus more. Gone will be the […]

I’m in the middle of another one of those hell weeks. This is that kind of week where I work Saturday and Sunday at Amoeba, then Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday from ten in the morning till 11:30 at night. I have Thursday off because I’ve got to go see the doctor about the high hemoglobin levels […]

I’m throwing this thing onto eBay today. It’s an odd style one-sheet for When Harry Met Sally. The thing is, I can find no identifying information that tells me exactly which style it is. It’s definitely not Style A. That’s the one we all know from the cover of the disc. Does anyone have a […]

You’re sleeping soundly, confident that you’d made yourself clear to Mr. Corleone: no way that talentless crooner’s getting a recording contract. And then you wake up…

You ever had anything stolen? Ever wish you could address the thief directly and point out in a clear and simple style just how unfortunate the theft was and how much you’d like that thing back? A Berkeley bio professor had his laptop swiped. At the end of the next day’s class session he takes […]

When a sparsely-read, small-time website gets poked by a big-time high-gloss website like Defamer, this is what happens: But you know what the number one Google-strike is on this website? Potato bug.

The last time I went to the doctor I got a lollipop for my trouble. That’s how long it’s been. There have been some big advances in medicine since those days. Doctors don’t use leeches anymore. Plus, they keep talk of “balancing humors” to a minimum. Yeah, it’s been a while. So today, even though […]

Curious about the new design? Check out these posts here and here. I’ll leave this one on top for a few days until everyone gets comfortable.

Hmm. Seems the smoke is white. A new Pope has been elected. Unless, of course, someone just stepped out on the balcony for a smoke and accidentally leaned against the bells…

Jack asks in a comment to yesterday’s post how far back Libby Gelman Waxner’s famous column began. Those who followed Libby’s funny and offbeat “reviews” might remember that she was revealed to be Jeffrey scribe Paul Rudnick. Her first column appears in the February 1988 issue, which sports Cher and Nic Cage on its cover. […]

The eBay auction is now up. Check it out. I’ve included heaps of pics that I didn’t include in the earlier post, including shots of the cool collector cards and a couple of the big, splashy articles.

Faced with another day of hanging around the apartment nursing a sore back, I dig into my closet and pull out one of my collections. It’s an old Sun World Grapefruit box filled to the brim with the first three years worth of Premiere Magazine. Issue number one sports Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroyd. Issue […]

Yes, I suppose it’s obvious. Here’s the new design. Or part of it, anyway. This appeals to my interest in simplicity and elegance. Uncluttered. Clean. No coffee stains. To the right we have the Marquee, which is a standard blogroll. The old design limited the length of my links list. Thanks to this new design, […]

I’ve been gone a couple days. Sorry about that. I’m back now. But only sorta. I’ve spent the last couple days messing around with a new design for the site. I’ll upload the thing later tonight or tomorrow. It’s the beginning of a site-wide restructuring. I’m sick of the old design, which was really supposed […]

My Mom is out of the hospital. She went in on Monday for surgery and got out Tuesday. Today, I spot this piece over at McSweeney’s. Amusingly appropriate.
