Want a Massage?
Posted in General on Dec 30th, 2003
I’ve posted an ad for my massage chair on craig’s list. If you live in the LA area, and you’d like to buy it off me let me know. I may be able to offer a slight friends and family discount.

Wait – What Did I Miss
Posted in General on Dec 29th, 2003
ChessGames.com is a fantastic resource for people looking to get better at chess. You can select players and watch as the games unfold move by move. I never could get the hang of algebraic chess notation. I understand it, but I can’t hold all those moves in my head and imagine the pieces on the [...]
The Rules of Failure
Posted in Movies on Dec 28th, 2003
The Rules of Attraction has been hanging out on my TiVo for a week or so. I woke up early without much to do, so I watched it. The movie tries so hard to be edgy and cool. I’d like to say that it fails spectacularly, but there’s nothing spectacular about it. Mostly it’s just [...]

Right Turn Clyde

I wish I could appreciate Johnny Cash. So many people cite him as being this monumentally influential and talented guy. I guess he is an original, but I just don’t get it. However Johnny Cash, doing a cover of Desperado with animated monkeys riding horses, well now you’d have to be a cold hearted fool [...]
Late, Late, Very Late Night Reading
Posted in Books on Dec 24th, 2003
After 2 months of slogging through it, I finally finished reading The Eye of the World. It’s about 800 pages, so I guess that isn’t a horrible pace (even though it felt like I was moving pretty slow with it). I did the last 300 or so this week, so obviously it was pretty tough [...]
Visit – A Bad Call to Action
Posted in Marketing on Dec 23rd, 2003
I was all ready to dismiss James Hering’s column, No More “Visits,” Please!. I could see where he was going, and I was pretty sure he was wrong (or just desperate for a column idea to fill inches). But, by the time I got to the end of the piece, I have to say, he’s [...]
Groomed For Greatness
Posted in General on Dec 23rd, 2003
I’ve noticed a disturbing trend. The past few times I’ve gone in for a hair cut, the “stylist” tries to give me a new style. I wouldn’t mind so much except that I’m concerned they’re cutting with their intended style in mind instead of cutting so that the style I’m going to force my hair [...]
