The Simple Act of Dying

So in no short order Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, and Robert McNamara have died. Quite the gauntlet of troubled music superstars, celebreties, and should have been tried on war crimes former Secretary of States. Far more will be written about the first than the other two. I can’t seem to care about the death of the king of pop. Yeah his music is ok, and sure his personal issues were so murky it was never clear what he did or didn’t do… but he was just a musician who hadn’t performed/created anything for decades. If Meatloaf died tomorrow I might throw on one of his albums, but I wouldn’t be putting my name in a raffle for his funeral. I just don’t get it. It seems like even in death people who live in the public eye can’t get any privacy. We need to draw the line somewhere.

Why Lunge is the New Bullet Time

Last Friday XMen Origins: Wolverine was released to theaters with a chorus of so-so reviews and lowered expectations (after the whole movie "mysteriously" leaked on to the internet just weeks before it's release). Without getting into my laundry list of reasons why the movie failed to be the best it... »

The Great Room Reorg of 2009

Well, I finally got around to taking some after pictures to go with my before pictures. You'll find them on my flicker feed to the right. As you can see the old layout of the room was cramped, full of old hand me down furniture, and lacking in nice comfy... »
