I attended a gala celebration at the Museum of Modern Art last night held by the Center for Architecture. I have nothing to do with the Center for Architecture, and I have no idea what the Center of Architecture was actually celebrating. But here’s what I do know: they served free alcohol. […]

Last night Stella premiered on Comedy Central. Along with Reno 911, this marks the return to TV of just about everybody from MTV’s The State, arguably the best non-Canadian sketch comedy show of the early 90s.
I didn’t get into The State until college, but I blame that on my parents for not having cable. […]
Holy Crap!
I just got an automated phone call from Blockbuster saying I have an overdue item. That’s why they ask for your phone number when you rent, so they hound your delinquent ass. Now yours truly just has to return it before they make me buy it.
I’m actually quite impressed such a sensible […]
My new new favorite site is upcoming.org. Social bookmarking sites are all the rage these days, and this one could be really big.
Upcoming.org solves a problem that Pollstar, fascist dictatorshipTicketmaster, and just about every other event listing site have, and that’s lack of RSS support. If I want to keep up to date […]
Last summer, in one of my earilest posts, I talked about how I cashed in a jug of change for a cool $318.38. Now gas station attendant Edmond Knowles one ups me by cashing in his roughly 1.4 million pennies for $13,804.59. Granted, he didn’t use a jug, he used 7 oil drums. […]
I was hoping there would be more pictures of yesterday’s Snapple® Debacle in Union Square, but here you are. Their attempt at the World’s Largest Popsicle failed miserably after the liquid inside burst, pouring gallons of Strawberry Kiwi Snapple® all over 17th Street.

Right up there with Arbor Day, Secretary’s Day, Donate a Toe Day, Flag Day ranks as a pretty lackluster holiday. This article makes an impassioned plea to the contrary, but come on. “Flag” Day. Who are you kidding?
The article does shed light on a few things:
Yesterday was Flag Day, not […]
While this site seems very British, it’s a cool idea that transcends national borders. Pledgebank lets you post a suggestion of something you’ll do, but only if a certain number of other people do it, too. That way you won’t feel like a sucker being the only person wearing a Member’s Only jacket […]
Last night a friend of mine was complaining about $5 pints, and how he much prefers $4 bottles of watered down, carbonated piss. I patiently tried explaining the concept of unit price and how $5 for a pint is better than $4 for a bottle any day of the week. Factor in the […]
Summer seems to be well on its way: great weather, ice cream trucks cruising the streets, air conditioning blowing out of stores and ridiculously well-to-do townhouses on 5th Avenue, but something’s still not quite right. Something’s missing, but I can’t quite put my finger on it…
<Gasp>Where’s my Will Smith Summer Blockbuster™?!
I didn’t see Hitch, […]
