Too funny. Conan O’Brien is meddling in the Finnish election. Erik should be enjoying this.

Well, add another very cool new accessory for my video iPod: the Griffin TuneCenter. This is exactly what I want to add to my home audio/video system. What does it do? It sends videos to the TV via s-video, streams Internet radio, plays your songs through the stereo (and shows song and album cover info…

Last night I lost my Las Vegas virginity, spent nearly 5 hours playing blackjack on the strip. (I won a few bucks, which certainly felt good.)

My letter to the editor of The Naperville Sun, in response to columnist Tim West’s support of President Bush’s wiretaps. Hopefully it’ll get published soon.

Oh my God, this post by Heather Armstrong (aka “Dooce”) will leave you gasping for air. Riotously funny.
