If you're like me, and have a debt that you could never repay to Gary Gygax, how about joining me in leaving a donation in his name to Childs Play?  http://www.childsplaycharity.org/

Every time I see sweatpants walk by the reference desk, I'll send a tweet.

Anyone have advice on where a guy could go in town to get a tailored suit?  I'm new to the dressing up game and could use some guidance.

Pajamagram and AT&T.

I feel kinda sorry for Pajamagram for the matchup. But it got me to check out their site and blog about it, so something's working.

This post is just in case other potential Quicksilver users have had the same issue I did.

I've spent hours trying to fix an issue with <a href="http://blacktree.com/?quicksilver>Quicksilver</a> where it hangs every time you want to get it to install a plugin. It turns out that the problem is with the directory at ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver. The directory needs it owner changed from "system" to your own username. After that plugins install fine and you're well on your way to productivity heaven.

Comics I follow

- Fables
- Jack of Fables
- Astonishing X-Men
- Buffy, Season 8
- Fear Agent
- Wolf-Man
- Hulk
- Amazing Spiderman

This is your big chance.  The writer's strike has opened the door to the hearts of board people in need of En-ter-tain-ment.

Here are some ground rules.

1) Keep your podcast under half and hour.  If it's more than that, I'm only listening to the first half hour, and if that first half hour is just dicking around, I deleted you fifteen minutes ago.  If you must make it more than half an hour, it had best be chock full of awesome. 

2) It is better to come out with a good half hour occasionally rather than half ass an hour every week.  I subscribe to these things and they download automatically.  If you take your time and do a decent job, I will be thrilled to see your rarity in iTunes rather than feeling I have to slog through more of your crap every week.  You know how I deal with the latter feeling?  By unsubscribing.

3) You have got a shit-ton of competition out there.  Most of it is shit.  Rise above.

4) If this is my first time listening to you, you've got five minutes to catch my attention, so hit me with the good stuff first.  Then make the rest better. 

5) If you give me consistently good content, I will give you money.  Remind me to donate at the end of the show, not at the beginning.

Has anyone been to Boarders lately? Were you able to find the register through all the impulse item crap they've got stacked around there? It's one of the most tacky displays I've ever seen, and I used to manage a quick stop next to a trailer park.

Really, it feels kinda insulting that this is the way they presume I'm going to be comfortable shopping.

If you have an Xbox 360 and a Mac, these guys totally deserve your twenty bucks. It basically gets you an Apple TV for the price of having a pizza delivered.

If you haven't been to that new place called Cafe D'lish on the corner of Kirkwood and Fairview, you really should stop by.  Despite it's tacky name, it's a dang nice place to eat.  The biscuits and gravy taste like their made from angle meat.

I was in band for eight years, choir for two and musical theater for three.  I was music director for my college radio station and tolerated a roommate for years because of my need to consume music.

In spite of this, I never learned a thing about music.  No teacher, friend or threat of public humiliation con convince me to actually learn to to do things like match pitch or practice.  I still remember being relieved when my band director advised me to just not play and fake it at performances.

But last night I stayed up, trying my best to croon with Tom Yorke and David Groul.  I badgered Cara to explain what an octave is and how I can use it to get a better score.  I sang until my throat was raw, just to see if I could get a four star rating.  I made my cat freak out and my fiance hide in her room, but by gum I"m getting there.

If only my band director had known.  All I needed was a score and the hope of making it to the next level. 

My yogurt parfait has a little sticker that say "Contains Nuts".

....

Hee!

I'm warming up to this guy.  Now that I realized that I can play my iPod formated vids on it, it's quickly become what I use to watch movies during lunch and before going to bed.  The browser is perfect for doing things like checking the weather before leaving for work in the morning or reading a few feeds while having my precious moments (POOPING!)

And now that I have Bust-a-Move, my relationship with this little gadget may become downright indecent.

My new rating system:

A - Awesome.  Containing at least two 'splosions and a minimum of two decapitations

B-1:15 - Boobies, with a mandatory time stamp indicating where the boobies be be so you can... cover your child's eyes.

C - Comic book adaptation.  Parents should be alert for geeks complaining about how it isn't true to the original material, that has been published for 30+ years in serialized form and now needs to be condensed to two hours of film.

MB - Michael Bay film.  Could have robots peeing on people.

We're watching Juno tonight at 7:50 at the West side theater (You know, the one that doesn't smell like feet).
