I’m obsessing about Project Runway again. Misty thinks Suede knows Suede is over the top. Someone told me Tim Gunn had a podcast. Anybody know anything about that?

Pushing Past Dora and Diego to the Better Stuff
June 12, 2008 – 3:47 pm
Due to Stephen’s LOLprowess, our site now has enough Diggs or Technorati gold stars in heaven to rate us being approached by marketing firms. The first couple of times we got emails, I was like, “Huh? They want to do what? What’s the catch?” The catch is that these companies want to send us free [...]
Weekend Media Entertainment
April 6, 2008 – 12:17 pm
Friday night, Battlestar Galactica returned. Baltar got smacked upside the face with theodicy, and everyone was paranoid and broken.
Saturday night, Kansas beat UNC, and did so convincingly despite letting UNC get to within three points after being up 40 to 12. It’s nice to see Roy Williams’s team fall to the school he left, and [...]
Note to Racists: At Least Be Funny, Part 2
February 4, 2008 – 1:59 pm
Does racism eat away at the part of your brain responsible for being funny? I’m beginning to think it might, in which case I’m clearly beginning a never-ending series of posts. This time around, it’s SalesGenie’s “Ramesh the Indian salesman” ad that aired during the first quarter of the Super Bowl.
Perhaps you missed that Ramesh [...]
Mind Reading Makes You Stupid
November 27, 2007 – 7:41 am
It’s clear that, whatever other benefits you gain from being able to read minds, you also become thick as a giant slab of concrete. If Sherlock Holmes had been able to read minds, he might have solved some of his cases faster, but he’d also have been more like Inspector Clouseau.
For proof, I only need [...]
A Second Life PSA
November 5, 2007 – 12:02 pm
One of our readers, Joel Dahlquist, asked for my thoughts about a new obesity-prevention PSA from the Ad Council. Hopefully this will be the start of a new trend, since reader requests mean I don’t have to think up what to write about and can spend my time more productively by playing Portal.
Anyway, here’s the [...]
To Boldly Go Where Heroes Has Gone Before
October 9, 2007 – 7:47 am
It would be unsurprising if the Petrelli boys’ father turned out to be alive and was played by veteran actor Leonard Nimoy. This might have to wait, though, if Heroes is governed by a conservation of Star Trek actors law.
My Favorite Day of the Week
September 4, 2007 – 9:30 am
I posted about hating Fridays after the lightening strike and how I had previously had problems with Sunday evenings. It made me start thinking about what my favorite day of the week might be.
It’s Tuesday.
It seems odd to like Tuesday better than say, Saturday, but I have a long history of enjoying Tuesdays. It [...]
Stephen Talks Science at Dragon*Con
August 28, 2007 – 7:09 am
I’m going to be on three science-oriented panels at Dragon*Con, pretending that I know things. If any of you are there, stop by and say hey. My talks are:
RETURN TO SPACE PANEL: Ask The Experts
Friday, 1:00pm
Forsythe (in the Hilton)
The President says we’re going back to the Moon and then to Mars AND with manned crews. [...]
The Sopranos Ends With a Final Episode
June 24, 2007 – 8:08 pm
Dear Internet,
We finished watching The Sopranos last night. Thanks for not spoiling us! So who’s ready to discuss the final episode now?
Anyone? Anyone?
Sigh.
ETA: Caution! Amy came to play, so we’re talking in full-bore spoilers in the comments.
