robhuebel: Just bought this!! My favorite thing about the Mr. Squirrel line of skinners (and I’ve tried ‘em all) is that it ‘keeps hair from getting on the meat’. I have always hated hairy squirrel meat. Rob Huebel from Human Giant. Amen.

I like getting caught up in projects that cause me to stay up late. This is a little PHP file sharing application I created last night, er, early this morning.

Pretty neat music video with Weezer. It has a ton of viral video spoofs in it.

Unpleasant Nasal Experience

I am on the bus from NYC back to Boston. Everything is jolly good, except for the unpleasant smells emanating from the person in front of me every 10 mins. I can hardly breathe! But there is no where to go!

Also, the same two people keep making trips to the bathroom (which is 4 feet away) about every 10 minutes as well.

I am starting to feel sick. 1:30 to go!! AHHHhhh!!!

“ For about a generation, consumption has been rising faster than income, faster than output, faster than economic activity in the US. Neal Soss, Chief Economist Credit Suisse
This article gives a great explanation of the sub-prime mortgage crisis and a bit of the history leading up to, and causing, our economic situation.

Indian Jones Fact #10

“10. The Secret of the Film’s Look
Great pains were taken to give the fourth movie the look and feel of the first three, despite the time gap. Steven Spielberg insisted on using stunt men instead of computer animation. Computer-generated effects are used only when absolutely necessary. The footage was shot on film instead of digital format. Cinematographer Janusz Kaminski painstakingly studied the first three movies in order to preserve the style of previous cinematographer Douglas Slocombe (who is now retired). The result looks, as George Lucas said, “like it was shot 3 years after the Last Crusade, you’d never know there was 20 years between shooting.” Unlike a certain other George Lucas franchise we all know and love.”

I had my doubts having seen the trailers that the sequel would have loads of CG, and basically ruin the experience, much like the newest Star Wars films did for me. Having read some reviews that said the latest Jones movie is light on plot, heavy on action, I’ve been a little anxious. However, if this fun fact is true, my hope may be restored! I’m looking forward to seeing it!

“ Barack Obama will take a major step toward the Democratic presidential nomination when Oregon and Kentucky vote on Tuesday, but rival Hillary Clinton still hopes to spoil the party. Double entendre? Might Clinton poil the event, or, spoil the Democratic party by hanging on so long?
