Oyax

I can’t really figure out what Oyax is, but it must hate me because it always deletes my account and Danny’s is always fine.

Sharing Time!: Woooooo!

You scored a coveted ticket to Eric Clapton’s MTV Unplugged session in January of 1992. You were jamming out in your seat. You had every right to. Mr. Clapton was playing his guitar like a man possessed with playing his acoustic guitar extraordinarily well. But for some right in the middle of his…

History favors the bold!

be cool, soda pop: For the past three days now, I have been systematically hunting down...

For the past three days now, I have been systematically hunting down every graduate of the University of Pittsburgh’s film department via the internet. I have learned two things:

  1. My ability to hunt people down via the internet is staggeringly good, in a way that is concerning to me.
  2. It’s hard…

I should totally get a job hunting people down on the Internet.  If my previous penchant for stealing credit cards was part of the deal I could be their best worker!

* surreptitiously throws the draft of his “types of catbus posts” cartoon into the trash.

 a) I bet it was a short cartoon!

b) Southpol you should post about Theda Skocpol more. My favorite sociologist who has extensively studied non-Marxist theories of political revolution.

In those bleak moments when the lost souls stood atop the cliff, wondering whether to jump, the sound of the wind and the waves was broken by a soft voice. “Why don’t you come and have a cup of tea?” the stranger would ask.

I read this story a few weeks ago.  It got dusty in my room!  Make all the political news that much more bothersome.

Robert Reich: Why China's Currency Announcement is Hokum

The stock market is euphoric over China’s apparent decision to allow its currency to rise against the dollar.

Watch your wallets.

China isn’t really changing anything. It’s only doing the minimum to prevent Congress from listing China as a currency manipulator, leading to a squeeze on Chinese…

While it has no meaningful effect it at least suggests that China is willing to play ball enough to throw us some pretense for not starting a currency war.

Dear Coke Talk: On bearing arms.

Do you think America’s obsession with guns is more of a mental health issue (ie little dick syndrome or some other syndrome you deem fitting), than a question of freedom? Or is it just about the money?

(apologies, but this retarded article - …

You can always rely on someone with a Dolly Parton avatar for sound advice.

Big News for me and Virgin America and anyone who flies

I am the new wine guy for Virgin America. Click the link above for more details!

If I had to attach my personal brand to an airline, I wouldn’t mind it being Virgin Atlantic.

I once saw a dude who looked just like Branson at the Pop Century Food Court.  It wasn’t him though…
