Is this being blogged?
Fascinating conversation over at Andrea Weckerle’s blog about the firing of a Goodwill worker. Andrea not only reports the orginal story, but followed up and spoke with several people at Goodwill. Subsequently, a number of concerned Goodwill customers forwarded a link to her blog through Goodwill’s corporate site, resulting in a discussion of the matter…

In a world…
I’m just blogging this so it’ll be easier to find the next time I want to have a good laugh… (If you haven’t seen it before, it’s five of Hollywood’s most popular voiceover guys, doing a trailer for a film about themselves. Hilarious.)

Kid-proofing a PC
I recently bought Robin a laptop, which meant that her 3+ year-old PC is now freed up to do the thankless job of being the kids’ computer. It’s running WinXP home, and has a wifi connection to the home network, and before I let the kids run loose on the thing, I’d love to hear…

FeedCrier – New RSS-based IM system

Snakes on a Plane: Review
Just got back from seeing Snakes on a Plane with Mike and Kris. It was every bit as bad and brilliant as we’d hoped. It’s unclear to me how this movie could have been watchable as a PG-13 film; the fall-off-your-chair funny scenes were the most graphic (some nudity, lots of gore). The film never…

Snakes on a plane poll
As you may know, Rush Hour 2 holds the record for biggest August opening ever, at $67m. Will our beloved movie end Chris Tucker’s and Jackie Chan’s reign? [poll=2] Update: Yes, I know this poll breaks the feed. No, I don’t know how to fix it. Sorry.
