Rediscovering Classic Literature

The memory databanks of my iPod Touch are usually stuffed with music, apps, and Harry Potter books. Yep, Harry Potter. I can state without reservation that my all time favorite audiobooks are the first four Harry Potter books as read by Jim Dale. Those readings will (hopefully) forever transport my mind into a wonderful place [...]

Happiest Curves of Blue From The Sky

It’s been 2 years since I last featured my favorite bit of Internet text. So it’s about time. I came across this on the site Epinions.com just after it launched. It was so amazing to me that I’ve kept it all these years. Something about it really draws me in and makes me feel. It’s [...]

Surprisingly Good Hip Hop Song

Being 30-something, you can imagine how much I actively try to avoid most of the inner city type of music being played on the radio these days. Don’t get me wrong, occasionally something extraordinarily good will rise to the surface and make it onto my playlist. Long ago there was 2Pac’s “California Love”, more recently [...]

Companies that Get It: Woodworkers Source

Now this is what I’m talking about.  I love interacting with companies that “get it”.  They recognize that experience is key.  Pure, sterile functionality works, but experience makes an impression.  If you’ve read below, you will know that I recently placed an order for some small pieces of craft wood from an unknown (to me) [...]

Kahiki: The World’s Most Beautiful

And it’s true too.  Awesome place that no longer exists.  I found a match box the other day though and decided to scan it for posterity.  Kahiki was in Columbus, OH and you can find out more about it by clicking here <– old skool link! View the video tour!

My New Favorite Woot.com Podcast Song

Woot.com continues to amaze.  Today’s Ironman GPS watch song takes the sole position that I have reserved in my heart for “My Favorite Woot Podcast Song”. If you can’t find the Podcast on Woot, you can try clicking here, though I don’t recommend it.

This is why I love Woot.com

This just popped up on Ooine.com today as a Google Ad. Is there no end to Woot.com’s incredible sense of humor?  This company needs to get recognized as the freshest, most unique experiment at marketing and selling on the Internet. And I haven’t even yet reported on the awesome daily MP3 that accompanies each new [...]

Portman on SNL, They Do it Again!

The SNL Digital Shorts are quickly becoming the best part of that show.  Big E pointed me towards the new Natalie Portman digital short.  While it’s no Lazy Sunday, it is still far superior than the usual SNL crap. The only way Natalie could have pulled this off (which she did) was to go at [...]
