Whew. Busy weekend. If anyone’s curious, Tool was oustanding.
I have a post on at Daily Blog Tips about WordPress Blog Maintenance. Check it out if you’re into that sorta thing.
I don’t want to, but I feel somewhat obligated to discuss Paris Hilton briefly. First off, this stuff about her grandfather donating to the campaign of […]

Just Freaking Change Already
April 14th, 2007 · No Comments
David Hughes (Senior VP of Technology, RIAA) spoke at Arizona State University on the state of the music business.
David’s argument was basically that we should feel sorry for the fact that his business is quickly becoming irrelevant and they don’t know how to change. It’s expensive to find new artists and they’re releasing bad music […]

April 11th, 2007 · No Comments
This is an absolutely hilarious article. I don’t have anything to add, I just wanted to share it. Found it via Seth Godin’s blog.

What Are Television Networks Going For Nowadays?
April 9th, 2007 · 2 Comments
So, NBC canceled the Black Donnellys. If you haven’t seen it, it’s an excellent show about the Irish mob in (I believe) New York City. There are very few shows on television that I find worth watching. The majority of Reality shows are completely lame (and often stripped of any actual ‘reality’ elements). The new […]

Tom Cruise’s Insanity Starting to Leave Marks
March 29th, 2007 · No Comments
Sure, he was dropped by his studio, but the man is worth millions, and still has no problem getting work. He brings in money, so he won’t go unemployed. But, this one has got to sting.
A movie is being planned about a German war hero, Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg (I totally had to copy/paste […]

Politics and 300
March 18th, 2007 · No Comments
I saw 300 last weekend, and I thought it was great. Sure, the dialog was just what you would expect from a cheesy action flick, and it was absurdly gory, but this is what’s to be expected. I was totally into the dramatic lines. The “This is Sparta!” scene rocked my world.
In addition to the […]

Hip-Hop Artists Teach Personal Finance (or: icicles in hell)
March 16th, 2007 · No Comments
Article here. Ran into it over at Get Rich Slowly.
Bun B held up his silver chain to show off the 4-inch-square, diamond-encrusted “B” hanging at the end. It flashed in the spotlight.
“If you’re gonna buy a chain for $30,000, be sure it’s not the only $30,000 you have.”
This is probably where I would have […]

Looking Forward to 2008
February 13th, 2007 · No Comments
I’m amazed, and a little disheartened at how much press democratic presidential candidates have been getting lately. I think it shows a serious problem in the democratic strategy. We’ve already touched on how marketing has changed in recent years, and the democrats are about to walk into what is called the fat chick […]

We Should All Be Celebrities
February 2nd, 2007 · 1 Comment
I’d like to draw your attention to this article. Actor Lane Garrison of Prison Break fame (or infamy) killed a teenager and injured two others while driving them around drunk. He had a BAC of .015. That’s well above the legal limit. Now, what gets me is that the article says that they “want” to […]

The Real Threat to Marriage: Celebrities
January 14th, 2007 · 1 Comment
I can’t understand why so many people are up-in-arms about gay marriage. What everyone should be worried about is celebrity marriage. So many celebrities are making a mockery of the sanctity of marriage.
Look at Britney Spears. (via Wikipedia)
On January 3, 2004, Spears married her childhood friend Jason Allen Alexander at The Little White Wedding Chapel […]
