Check out Ben Brown’s parody of the Apple “Switch” ad campaign.

The folks from Rotten now mock the deaf. I’m shocked, shocked I tell you.

Perfect time to get away from the ‘puter screen. B and I and a few of her Save the Bay coworkers are camping till Sunday on the east slope of the Sierras. I may skip the grueling 3K (straight up) hike planned for tomorrow (I’m pleading IT band friction syndrome…) and just hang out in…

Made it through my first time on TV none the worse for wear. It was kind of fun and fascinating the way they put together a live show like that. Kind of controlled chaos. In order to be able to plug the book thoroughly, I finally put together a “1.0” version of the book’s website…

I’m cooling my heels before going on TV around 4:40 pm (I think) and they’ve been kind enough to hook me up to an Airport network so I can comfort myself by geeking around a little. After warming up a little I feel more relaxed than I have for the last few days. More on…

I should probably mention that I’ll be on the live TechTV show “The Screensavers” on Tuesday, July 16, promoting my Dreamweaver MX / Fireworks MX book and demonstrating some quick ways to make menu bars using those tools.

i’m loving this book: At night every river has a secret twin a ghost of air washing above the living water down towards the sea….

During that intense period, tween 7 and 9 am, after waking up once to let the cat out (didn’t notice she had shat on a chair) and getting up for real, I had a series of vivid dreams, including one of those ones in which you know you’ve been asleep and dreaming but think you’ve…

More hysterical shouting from the neighbors in a language I don’t understand. B thinks she saw the ex-under-a-restraining-order trying to enter the neighbor’s house through the backyard this morning. Still worried it’s all going to come to some horrific head. x Spinal Tap fans may enjoy this David St. Hubbins interview.

Raccoons bashed in the cat door last night. I slept through it but B heard the boom. Then they tore open the cat food boxes and tried some, but left a lot (not to their taste). Also got their muddy paws all over the place and left footprints in the (never used) litter box. Need…

Apparently, honey is off-limits as it comes stolen from oppressed worker bees. High Sierra was great. Best of show: Yonder Mountain String Band.

(Tentative new job description.) I’m off to High Sierra—back Monday.

Dear friends, We’re pleased to announce that issue Three of Watchwordhas made it off the presses and into the hands of some lucky people! The issue contains the work of twelve pioneering writers whose pieces range from the forthright and ironic to the oblique and sinister. Sounds like delicious summer reading to me! The artwork…

Finally, a domain name that makes sense as a hub for all my other lame-o idears. First job, an antiweb blog listing…

Seems that Hunter S. Thompson was duped by Jerry Seinfeld’s Laszlo Toth-like alter ego Ted Nancy.

This site might be racist, might be hilarious. If you like pet rocks, you’ll love an origami boulder.

Xian is not available to shipping addresses outside the United States Xian is not the right choice for his role, he is terrible and has no charms whatsoever the word “xian” is not meant to be demeaning or abusive, it’s just an abbreviation Xian is not another Shanghai or Beijing Xian is not only the…

Xian is available in powdered form Xian is conveniently located just 40 minutes by car from the Xian International Airport. Xian is a city encircled by massive grey stone walls, which are remarkably well preserved. Xian is located in the central area of the Northwest of China, which is now the capital of Shaanxi Province…

Rest in peace, John Entwhistle (and, for that matter, Timothy White of Billboard—do rock deaths come in threes?)

Don’t go in the water!

A court has finally ruled that the “under God” part of the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional, according to this reports. Or, rather, that requiring schoolkids to say it is.
