On Locked Entries

I’ve never been a fan of posting locked entries behind a “Friends and Family” filter, but I’ve found myself doing it a few times recently and wanted to give the handful of you who I know read but don’t have a Vox account (or read through LiveJournal cross-posts) a heads-up that I’ve been posting a little

I’m One Hundred Miles Away, Son…

Warren Wallace for GEICO READY TO STRIKE! I liked the Gecko for the first year or two, but can’t stand him any more, and the Cavemen were fun until someone came up with the stupid idea to turn them into a TV show. As good as both campaigns were in the beginning, they’re rather overexposed at this point and should really

I pulled some different featured content to the front for those not inclined to wandering the City aimlessly — something I plan to do on

Spindle Soft Launch

Spindle, Orange Logo http://www.spindlezine.com is now live! The soft launch, actually, but with a good amount of content to give a sense of which part of left field I’m coming from with this thing while still leaving plenty more surprises to come. Please take a look, poke around the site a bit, see if you

QotD: The Fall TV Season

What shows are you looking forward to in the new fall TV season? K-ville and, of course, Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice. K-Ville – FOX Trailer I caught the preview for K-ville on Jet Blue a couple of times last month and it looks really good; a gritty spin on the Miami Vice formula, set in post-Katrina

Take me back to Cancun!

Back-to-School 2007 Even though I’ve not been to work since Friday, August 24th, my vacation pretty much ended the minute we landed at JFK last Wednesday evening. Within minutes, no matter how often I supressed them, thoughts of back-to-work and back-to-school things-to-do steadily flooded my brain, and not even my new Nintendo DS and Pokemon Diamond could completely defeat

Cancun & the New School Year

Cancun 2008 We had a GREAT time in Cancun, as memorable a vacation as I’ve ever had, and took a ton of pictures, the best of which are up on Flickr at the link. There’s some more from the Underground River in Xcaret — my new favorite vacation destination — that I need to get developed the

QotD: Life-Changing Decision

What decision changed the course of your life?  Submitted by Ally. December 9, 1996: After much internal debate, getting off the line to exit the parking lot at Jersey City State College, parking my car, and unexpectedly jumping into a classmate’s car to clumsily explain to her that, despite having a very good reason to

Killer App: Scrabulous @ Facebook

Scrabble Tournament Ad from France Because the last thing I need is another Web 2.0 distraction, I avoided Facebook when it first opened up to everybody. I’m on MySpace and [used to] barely ever log in except to delete friends requests from newly relocated single girls who think I’m cute and want to share their nude
