Kevin Fox Hear Our Pleas

April 30th, 2004 · 1 Comment

My buddy Tim is offering up a trade for a pre-release Gmail account. Somebody hook him up!
Kevin Fox (or other Google employees), listen up! I know you’re thinking about all that IPO cash and car purchasing and whatnot, but shouldn’t you give a little something back to the guy who made you what [...]

Visual Narrative

April 27th, 2004 · 1 Comment

Attention, my tens of readers:
I have initiated a pilot program to expand the content on this site. The new, probably soon-to-be-abandoned project is pretentiously titled Visual Narrative and appears as a link to your right.

Old School

April 27th, 2004 · 1 Comment

I have always had musical shit going on in one form or another. I just found a buttload of really old school songs improvised by a bunch of youthfully exuberant (read: likely baked) folks in the late 80s and thought it right that I torture you with the output.

“Chained To The Zlov” 128K MP3 [...]

A Request To Flash and Web Developers: Have Some Manners!

April 22nd, 2004 · 2 Comments

Dear Flash and Web Developers:
Please develop some manners. I know your client is a kick-ass new ska/rock band that just has to be heard, or a hip and trendy restaurant that insists on welcoming you with trip-hop, but don’t you understand the concept of surfing from work?
If I’m surreptitoiusly checking out your menu for [...]

The iHome

April 20th, 2004 · 3 Comments

I just stumbled across the Loft Cube and felt it worth a mention.
The space seems ideal for a single human, but privacy is next to nil. That being said, the interior seems refreshing, thoroughly well-engineered and I consider it a successful realization of the prevailing aesthetics and design philosophies of this modern age.
I’m just [...]

Brass Tacks World Premiere and How To Make Meaning

April 13th, 2004 · 1 Comment

I received this e-mail from the Brass Tacks propaganda machine:

Hello Friends,
The World Premiere of Brass Tacks is only a few days away. We look forward to seeing you there and wanted to pass on one final reminder about the screening, tickets, and the After party.
There are only a few tickets left for the Friday screening [...]

Keep it Up, Buddy

April 8th, 2004 · 2 Comments

If I can just sustain this level of quality, craft and wit in this site, my number one referrer is sure to be:
http://www.kinja.com/removeweblog.knj
Sorry folks! Time to spend less time in MovableType and more time in the word processor.
But seriously, I’ve been thinking a tiny bit about this site. I have about 400 [...]

Magic Pad

April 3rd, 2004 · 1 Comment

For Christmas, my sister gave us a hip little sticky-note pad that features a figurative, cartoonish, neo-mid-century mother-with-child printed in the upper left corner. At the bottom of each page, it reads “things to get done before baby arrives.”
Were we to use such an item for our planning, and let’s just be hypothetical here, [...]

Kinja is Cool

April 1st, 2004 ·

I use a web-based RSS reader because I’m on so many different terminals (over four per day on average). The only problem is that the feed-reader I use has an all-or-nothing security model, which makes it impossible to share since I didn’t want others to be able to add or delete feeds.
Enter Kinja and [...]
