  • Redonkulous Movies of Awesomeness

    Here is a list of awesome movies that you might not have appreciated their kickass awesomeness.  They are all redonkulously good. The Last Dragon.  Greatest movie ever made.  I dare you to watch it and not love it.  In the final scene if you don’t jump for joy, there is something dead inside of you.…

  • Movie Review: Popeye

    Popeye is one of my top 10 greatest movies ever made.  It’s the attention the detail and subtlety that makes it so good.  There are deep emotional and intellectual subjects tackled even though the movie has a simple root.  From the role of taxes in a society to poverty to the simple emotional need to…

  • Open Position: Web Developer

    The CEO of Adchemy just asked me to reach out about an open position for web developer.  Requirements: HTML, CSS, jQuery.  The best situation is onsite (San Mateo, CA), but it’s possible for some remote contract work.

  • Design for a Watch

    I would like to design a watch.  It has the words The Time imprinted on the front.  No hands, no other markings at all.  When you push down on the face, it speaks the time in a female english cockney accent.  Fahw Twainty Aight PM. This is the perfect watch for blind people and children…

  • Infographics: Baseball is Lame

    Baseball is the only sport where one team can win 25% of the time.  How do baseball fans do it?  Why do they care to see the Yankees in the World Series?  Wouldn’t it be more fun to see a local team in the big show?  Inographics are a great way to see the difference. …

  • What I love about Silicon Valley

    I used to live in NYC.  Greatest public transportation in the world.  Tons of different kinds of businesses.  It was a good city to live near. Now I live in San Mateo, Silicon Valley, California.  I miss the great train systems.  However, the profile of the companies here is very different.  It’s technology Mecca.  It…

  • Rex Ryan: Twitter missed opportunity

    After the Jets game, David Clowney, Wide Receiver NYJ, wrote a twitter message. “1 play in the 1st Half, 4 plays in the 2nd half . . . A bit disappointed about my playing time but very happy and satisfied about the win.” For this tweet, he was benched for next Sunday’s game by Coach…

  • Too much CO2 is bad

    I just saw two sites that are incredibly disturbing.  One claims that CO2 is not a pollutant and the other is claiming CO2 is the best thing in the world for plants.  The ridiculousness of these websites is depressing, because I know that some people think that this point of view is valid. How about a website…

  • Microsoft 7 Party Video Disaster

    Sometimes marketers (no offense) are ridiculous.  Here is an example of the worst marketing I have ever seen. This video really makes me want to install Haiku.  Microsoft, you are making me crazy.  The Outlook-Word thing stinks, but this video made me throw up in my mouth.

  • Storm Large – 8 Mile

    This is pure unexpected WOW.  Watch the video and ask yourself, “Did I just say wow?  That was unexpected?”  Great song, great video. I hope you like it.

  • Movie Review: Coraline

    I recently watched Coraline with the kids.  The movie was pretty clever and well done, but I found it highly derivative.  Here is what it made me think: BeetleJuice (1988) –  My goodness, the artwork was so reminiscent the genius BeetleJuice, but more importantly, I found a strong similarity to the main characters (Lydia/Coraline) and to her relationship…
