I’ve been listening to this playlist I created called Max’s Happy Music to try and cheer me up. I don’t know why, but the President’s press conference last night is eating at me. Lots of things are eating at me. You’d think I’d be losing more weight…
How can you be asked point blank by a journalist if you feel any personal responsibility for the 9/11 attacks and completely dodge the question? Answer the question, Mr. President We’ve heard everything you’ve said before, and it’s getting old. Your press conference was the same stammering excuses with no real answers. Mr. President, you […]
There are forty-one people on this list. I met them all, and had at least one conversation with them. The conversation may have been short, silly or mundane, but it was a conversation. If I talked to you and your name isn’t on this list, well, I’m a jerk (my bad memory is a jerk […]
My Googlehood is a whole lot more dignified than I remember it. I’ve got some pretty impressive neighbors now! What happened?
I was on TV. It was a long time ago, but still, I was on TV. I had a show. It wasn’t my show; it was our show. Jim, Di, Kris, Brain, Brian and me (with recurring guest stars, like the gaysian). It was called TechX. Every Saturday night at 10pm, we took phone calls […]

Max also has three paintings on his wall, a plane, sailboat and a steam engine. Max likes to ask me how trains work. The usual answer goes something like, “Well, that big red […]
I love it when I can pick out the songs used in commercials. You know that new Putnam commercial with the picture frame flying around the office? The commercial’s fairly forgettable, but the music isn’t. It’s from Lemon Jelly‘s great In The Bath, which is on their peachy-keen Lemonjelly.ky. I have two of their albums, […]
SXSW was too much fun. It was so fun, we even had fun in a bathroom! How we got everyone in there, I’ll never know. I think I met and had at least a cursory conversation with all but two of the people in the picture. I was going to post my gigantic list of […]
The 2nd season of Penn & Teller’s show premiered this week! Thank goodness. I was starting to get cynical… Speaking of cynical, I’ve stopped checking some of the feeds in NetNewsWire. I won’t give you the list, but they’re all political, and I just can’t take it aymore. Just like during the war, I had […]
Just because I still don’t feel well, but wanted to change something, I’ve redone the main page of the blog. The last couple days aside, I’ve been writing much longer posts than I used to, and the front page has been getting much larger than I would like. In an effort to make the page […]
