New LOST Internet Game…and it’s Cheatable

August 26th, 2008 · No Comments

Are you a raving LOST fan? Have you run out of people who want to hear your theories about how the island is really a projection into our universe by a hyperintelligent transdimensional race and was once mistaken for Atlantis? I know I have! Never fear! The LOST crew is out there with yet another [...]

Listening: Adventurer’s Club / Jonathan Coulton Mashup

August 25th, 2008 · No Comments

Jonathan Coulton is an absolute favorite of mine for his geeky, funny, and sometimes incredibly touching songs. Mash him up with one of the sparkling performers from the Adventurer’s Club at Disney, and you get a total tear-jerker of a funny, romantic, nerdy song. We saw this performed just the other night and there wasn’t [...]

Does Your Night Elf Need A Date? Try Datecraft.com

August 24th, 2008 · No Comments

This ones for all my single friends who play World of Warcraft. Discovered the other day that there is a dating site for World of Warcraft players — datecraft.com. I know, I know. You’re picturing pasty white goth chicks who have known more twinkies than other human beings. But, at least with the cursory look [...]

Reading: Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks

August 18th, 2008 · 1 Comment

He’s written a tall stack of books detailing the unique cases he has come across in his profession, and providing a [...]

Alaska Cruise, Day Eight – Whittier and Anchorage

August 15th, 2008 · No Comments

Having only ever really cruised the local Florida waters before, it was an odd experience to pull into our final port and know there was still 4000 or so miles between us and home, and many hours before we could start that journey. When we made our way up to deck for breakfast and I [...]

Alaska Cruise, Day Seven – College Fjord

August 13th, 2008 · No Comments

Cruising into College Fjord was like being the first explorers to travel through Alaska. Early on, the wind was whipping down the deck into our faces and low clouds covered everything around us, lending a mysterious, ominous feel to the trip, as if we could suddenly sail off the side of the Earth, as early [...]

Alaska Cruise, Day 6 – Sitka, Part 2

August 12th, 2008 · No Comments

We started the second half of our day in Sitka with lunch at Victoria’s, a local restaurant near the church that was recommended by our tour guide. (Always, always, ask a local where the best place to eat is. It’s an eternal rule of travel.) The fresh caught halibut and chips there was delicious enough [...]

Listening: The Weakerthans – “Tournament of Hearts”

August 11th, 2008 · No Comments

New video from their current album. I love this song because it sounds like hockey. Or maybe, as the video suggests, curling. I’m not Canadian, but I pretended I was while I was in Vancouver, eh?
