Cubic Tragedy
Posted in Other Media on Aug 31st, 2005
Cubic Tragedy is a well done animated short. I feel like I’ve been in the same place she is whenever I try a bit of home improvement. Everything I try to fix it just seems to make it worse.

Dear lord! The Hair of the Dog, Hula Hoop Viral ad is just, well…. Yeah.

I’ve heard 2 1/2 songs that Pandora has recommended for me, and so far, I’m digging what I’m hearing. This may be worth subscribing to.
The Good, The Bad, and Well, Yeah, That’s About It

Yesterday, I decided to go see a movie. I didn’t much care which one I saw. So, I got to the theater and The Brothers Grimm was showing pretty much right when I got there. And, the previews made it seem like it might be interesting. Plus, Terry Gilliam, so it had that going for [...]
Not What I Expected
Posted in Music on Aug 29th, 2005
So, I’m watching Subterranean on MTV2. And, they’re interviewing Death Cab For Cutie. And, Wow! That lead singer doesn’t look anything at all like I expected he would. This must be a little like how people felt when they heard some of those silent film stars speak for the first time.

What are those advertisers buying?
Posted in Marketing on Aug 23rd, 2005
Here’s a very interesting O’Reilly post about advertisers buying page rank instead of impressions. I hate SEO’s if only because the bastards caused me to shut down my comment sections with all their damned comment spam. O’Reilly brings up some really intriguing points though, and ultimately, I think it’s something that the search engines have [...]

Frugal Reader
Posted in Books on Aug 17th, 2005
Frugal Reader looks interesting. It basically connects you to a lot of people who’ve turned their book collections into a giant lending library. $1.84 or $2.26 for postage to ship one of you books seems kind of steep though. Sure, it’s less than the $10+ you pay for new paperbacks these days, but it seems [...]
