United 93

United 93: 8 out of 10. Wow.  For 111 minutes you don't feel like you're watching a movie, but a documentary.  The acting by unrecognizable actors is so natural you feel you're there on September 11 as United 93 prepares to take off. Even though we all know how this

Running Music

My 5k race is next Saturday, but I'm running a mock 5k race as soon as Thursday.  It's time I start thinking about a strong running playlist. I'll make the mix twenty songs long, and I'll pick the twenty tunes from this list of songs in my collection featuring the

Zoodles Uncensored

In response to this entry about Alpha-Getti and Zoodles, Kara commented that she had a can of Zoodles with a palm tree on the label that resembled a penis. She was nice enough to scan it and share it.  Without a doubt, that palm tree is both twig and berries.

Built Ford Tough

It's half time, and the Raptors are up 46-43 in New Jersey.  Not only is T.J. Ford playing, but he's 6-7 for 13 points in nine minutes.  That's awesome. James and I watched the first half together, but I just put him to bed, so I'm going to have

Say It Ain't So, Yahoo!

With mighty Microsoft badly losing the online search and services battle to Google, they're pursuing Yahoo!.  Although I've pretty well migrated all my Yahoo! stuff to Google, I have fond memories of Yahoo! I shared in this entry.  Yahoo! was Google before Google was Google, and we shouldn't forget that.

Gtalkin' With Howie G

Now that Humble Howard has discovered Gtalk, we've had some deep, intellectual discussions via this progressive communications tool. Last night, we chatted.  Here's the transcript.  It's pretty raw, and quite revealing, so consider yourselves warned. 8:00 PM Toronto Mike: you got gill deacon cancelled! 8:16 PM Howard: eat

This clip has been making the rounds this week.  It's old-school Sesame Street with Cookie Monster eating a computer. It's funny and all, but this Cookie Monster is quite different from the Cookie Monster I grew up with.  There are two significant differences: This Cookie Monster has sharp lookin' teethThis
