Our economy shrinks, Wal-Mart flourishes.

Be Kind, Rewind
Jack Black. Mos Def. That was pretty much enough to get me to the theatrem and the hilarity of those two remaking old movies was enough to get me absolutely giddy about it. Nor was I disapointed.
What I wasn’t expecting however, was a deft commentary on building community, fostering creativity wherever, and the utter stupidity of laws that claim to protect artists but actually pad...

It's just like Wu-Tang said:
Cash rules everything around me. CREAM. Get the money. Dollar dollar bill, y’all.
I’m making The Consumerist a daily read, by the way.

growing tired of wordpress →
I have expressed my frustration with wordpress before, and I think that I am finally done with trying to use it as my blog… thingy. It is powerful, there’s no doubt about that, but it is just not very good at letting me do what I want. Aside from that, there seems to be some formatting issues, which don’t take long to frustrate me when I spend 40 minutes trying to format something, and it isn’t...

Dwight Howard
Last year at the dunk contest, Dwight Howard was robbed of a victory because his dunk was too good. Check it out:
and as good as his dunks were this year, I don’t know that you can actually win the dunk contest without actually dunking the ball (the superman dunk)

Two Funny Links for Your Weekend
Stuff White People Like- I think it is the diversity (that’s a joke, if you read on) of items, and the no-nonsense presentation.
Overheard in New York- In honor of my recent and future trips.

Wolf Camera: 1 for 3
I’m trying to buy a lens for my new camera, specifically, a Nikon 18-55mm VR because I want to take pictures with the new camera this weekend. The trouble is that I can’t order online and get it today (next-hour shipping hasn’t quite been invited yet). It sells for $179 online, but that doesn’t include shipping. So I deicded to see if Wolf Camera (who I don’t really...

No Country For Old Men
I’ve read two Cormac McCarthy books so far, and I have absolutely loved both of them. Though, I have to say that I preferred The Road to this one (The Crossing rests comfortably on my bookshelf, just waiting to be held…). I find McCarthy’s writing style addictive and his stories inviting. They sometimes cut you with their brutal look at the world, but that is an intentional...

Did I just gain some respect for Yahoo!?
Microsoft: Let's merge; here's some money.
Yahoo!: No, I don't think so.
Microsoft: Pleeeease?
Yahoo!: Sorry. no.
Microsoft: But it is a really good idea.
Yahoo!: No, thank you.
Microsoft: Fine! (throws tantrum)

Quick update
I’m definitely alive and well. Currently, I am at 52nd and Broadway in New York with nine high school students. Last night at the Knicks game, I may have actually decided to become a Knicks fan. Ronald Balkman is a spectacular defender, and watching David Lee level Bruce Bowen was a huge highlight for me. Throw in some Jamal Crawford, who I met, and that is an intresting team ( who,...

Predictions
6 days and no post? Sorry about that. Busy busy busy.
I just want to say that if the Patriots lose tonight, the level of play in the NFL will go down next season, and the Patriots will go undefeated and win the Superbowl next year. If the Patriots win tonight, parity in the NFL will decrease next season- there will be a few outstanding teams, very few mid-level teams, and a lot of bad teams.
I...
