CAKE is officially my favorite band until further notice! The Vogue show yesterday was great – Kevo and I found a great spot right off the left side of the stage, about 8 feet from the band and we rocked out to the decidedly unique rockpopfunkabilly sounds of the tree-loving, anti-establishment, lets all sing-a-long band […]

So I was surprised today to find out one of my overseas programmers that has been working for me for 3 months was a woman. I had no idea. Of course, when i admitted this to the programmers they laughed at me, because apparently Sumi is a common girl’s name over there. Who knew? Not […]

10 years ago I had a press pass to the 2000 NBA Finals, and got to watch my favorite sports team the Indiana Pacers miss out on their only chance (so far) at an NBA championship. Who did they lose to? Some young punk Kobe Bryant (before his rape charges) and his then friend Shaq […]
