dear senators:

there’s already a solution to your problem. it’s called a parent. how about focusing on making them understand and account for what their kids are doing? if they can’t, the “think of the children” scope is probably bigger than just the intarweeb… I’m just sayin’…

cloverfield

Bad Robot makes stuff other than Lost. I didn’t bother to see the remake of The Hitcher because the C. Thomas Howell/Rutger Hauer version was good enough for me that I didn’t see the point of remaking it. I kinda stumbled across a trailer for project cloverfield on the Apple Trailers site today. I’m intrigued. […]

quick and tasty dinner

Long day? Hungry? Solo? If you’re female, cute, funny, single, and live in the Ottawa area, I’ll make you dinner! I crack myself up. slashfood has a great and simple idea for a quick summer meal.

Normal folks cooking abnormally good eats in their kitchens. Yum. So, before I forget to mention her, head on over to Jule’s food […]

not so gushy on the iphone

Dan Gillmor has a quick rundown of what he doesn’t like about the iPhone. He makes some really good points, and the one that I didn’t realize was that the battery was not removable. I guess this shouldn’t surprise me given how the iPods are constructed, but it does, because having spares for those times […]

for the record

a smoothie made of apple juice, vanilla protein powder, berries, and activa is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad combination. I didn’t have anything but apple juice in the house. I will rectify that this morning.
