I’m not exactly sure where to start. I’ve been sitting on this for 10 days now and the words haven’t fully developed. I’m hoping the new (free) live Coldplay album will help them start to flow. I fully realize I run the risk of this coming off cheesy, but there are certain instances in life…

The section starting at 1:20 with Katie Couric is enough to make me start combing ebay for one of these machines. Be prepared to see some sweet new videos of Junior on our Vimeo before long. (via kottke)
Learn to boogie like Billy Preston.
I grew up in the printing industry. I saw that it could be done to make a living but it wasn’t putting anyone on the fast track to prosperity. I am sure I even mentioned a time or two that I had a plan of getting out of it sooner rather than later. Hand-bindery work…

With all the craze of live-blogging and twittering different events these days, it’s a little refreshing to see somebody doing it the old fashioned way. This guy possesses a skill that I would trade a finger from my left-hand for, the ability to make magic with a pen and paper.

A couple of guys from CollegeHumor.com have had a long standing prank war going on dating back a few years. In what I thought was the pinnacle of their war, last year Amir scheduled an engagement proposal for Streeter and his then girlfriend. It took almost a year and a half (and the loss of…
A major player in the world of web (both design and programming) was looking to adopt his third child along with his wife in the near future, the future came a little sooner than expected. Read all about it (and contribute if you’re inclined) here: http://snook.ca/adoption Through the use of twitter, in 12 hours he’s…
It’s pretty crazy to revisit Sully and his adventure 6 weeks out and put some sort of context around it in both visual and audio form. Although I knew the ending, it still made me tense up a little when the air traffic controller is trying to get him some direction but not really having…
In my attempt to drive as much traffic as possible to Myspace, you can now stream the new U2 album on their page: http://www.myspace.com/U2 And as asked by my dot-comrade Cole, “who isn’t a U2 fan?” Somebody who needs to be punched in the kidney, that’s who. U2: No Line on the Horizon – due…
Remember New Coke? I was a tad young but I do remember the stirring that it caused when the Coca-Cola company decided to “update” their coke flavor over two decades ago and the fact that it didn’t take them long to re-introduce Coke Classic. It was a bad move on Coke’s part to take their…

Either way, this is a pretty cool account of a pretty cool situation and a pretty cool idea: Dinner With A Stranger If you had your choice, who would your $200 charitable-donation-dinner-partner be? Also, I’ve never thought of it but maybe I…
