I can already feel the backlash from this entry, but I am tired of people living here and not being able to speak English! The other day I was surfing BLOGGER at lunch. Since the name of the place is INTERNET and the internet was in English, I didn�t think much of it. first click [...]
For all of you who have been waiting for the Apple Store to have a sale, your time has come. Sadly, it’s Black Friday. So if you’ve been holding onto that Apple Gift card you got for your birthday, Friday might be the day to use it. iPods, iPod Minis, and all computers will be [...]
Wednesday, Kelly called to tell me about a possible position at Universal. I received the contact information on Thursday, sent over my resume and cover letter, and had an interview this morning (Friday). I guess they don�t mess around over there. So this morning I interviewed with Jin Whang. She was a very cool twenty-something [...]
Well, I’ve finally stopped reading Halo 2 Stats online and I�m writing a blog entry today. So what can I tell. Nothing has really been going on. Things are pretty much the same. Except that I�ve been playing a ton of online Halo 2. It�s really great. I don�t care too much about the story, [...]

Halo 2 was released at midnight, Nov. 9th. It arrived at 81st Street at 1030 this morning (Jon has not moved from the couch yet). First one home gets to play while Jon Regul’s away. My guess, Toby will be playing when I get home. Brian, tonight is a good night for dinner and a [...]
Over the weekend, Caroline and I celebrated our one-year (dating) anniversary. The anniversary weekend began with my car breaking down and me having to take it into the shop on Saturday morning. Great, car repairs are never cheap. So we scraped the idea of going to the San Diego Wild Animal Park for the day. [...]
Last night was the unveiling of the LOST but Found exhibit at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena. Caroline works there and she was kind enough to invite me. So we went. I had a great time. The exhibit was interesting, but at the same time I was so liquored up they could have put [...]
Nintendo is trumpeting the horns for the Nintendo DS. A flash-based web site has been created to explain some of the features. Available at NintendoDS.com I think it’s cool. Dual screens, maps and inventory always available. There is a touch screen and voice recognition as well as wireless networking, stereo sound, and a headphone jack [...]
In case you missed it, the Daily Mirror, a London tabloid, has asked the question so many want to know the answer to. Daily Mirror Cover Page So we’ve all returned to our regularly scheduled lives. I watched the Lakers smoke on Tuesday and get smoked on Wednesday. It’s going to be a rough season. [...]
I case you are not age 12-20 and no longer watch MTV (or MTV2, where music videos actually air), you might have missed (like I did) the new Eminem video, Mosh. So, without furhter delay, here you go. Eminem – Mosh Hard to believe, but Paris Hilton, 50 Cent and Ludacris, three outspoken members of [...]
So the election is concluded, the challenger has conceded, the winner is celebrated, and 49% of the voting population is concerned. So what do the next four years hold for the United States? What do you have to look forward too? What do you have to dread? More deaths in Iraq, more excuses to whittle [...]
