do you know who i am?!

30Oct06

Sometimes at work, you just want to go back to bed. When uber designer tells me that she is sleepy, I ask her if she is hungry and poor. When uber designer tells me that she is hungry, I ask her if she is tired and poor. Because it says on our […]

image rollovers - the crappy way vs. the awesome way

24Oct06

Let’s take a look at two ways to make image rollovers, you know… those images that change when you move your mouse cursor over them. The first way is with Javascript. You gotta create two images, one for the regular state, one for the rollover:

regular.

rollover.
And then you have to use a bunch of […]

that was a good drum break

23Oct06

Beck was amazing. He had large-and-in-charge band with him that knew how to kick it. There was a ton of instrumentation, including an extra half of a drum kit on stage that random members would jump on and off. If you didn’t know, one of the most fun things a non-drummer musician […]

coffee complaints 2.0

18Oct06

Ordered a coffee and a taylor ham egg cheese (TaHaEggChee) this morning from Jewish deli. Asked for it done wit’ “milk and sugar” (the coffee, not the TaHaEggChee). Got a cup of sweetened milk. What’s the point of the coffee if you can’t taste it?! Might as well crap in […]

coffee standards

15Oct06

If you order a Dunkin Donuts coffee without specifying the exact quantity of sugars and milk/creme, they make it way too sweet. Below is a reference chart of how to order non-uber-sweet DnD coffee:

Medium coffee - 1 milks, 0.95 sugars
Large coffee - 1.42 milks, 1.27 sugars

google buys youtube, man buys overly extravagant car

12Oct06

People think Google is crazy for paying $1.65 billion for YouTube. Either because YouTube has a lot of illegal crap on it that makes it a litigation liability or because YouTube exhibits one of those dotcom boom flaws: lots of hits, lots of “cool,” but no business model for generating revenue. But don’t […]

beck to visit jersey city

11Oct06

Beck is playing in Jersey City, a few blocks away from me at The Historic Loew’s Theater (built in 1929, oh those roarin’ twenties). A decade ago Beck’s Loser would be teaching me Spanish while I jumped on beds rocking out. Ever since Odelay! came out I would make “that was a good […]

average contents: 2

09Oct06

I needed some new running shoes so I bought a pair of Pumas from DSW. The box said, “average contents 2.”  Interesting considering its a shoebox.
“Young blackman, if you go to the movie theater and someone steps on your foot, let it slide. Why spend the next twenty years in jail cause someone […]

new orleans funk

08Oct06

Nobody likes to comment when I write about music. I’m guessing it’s because everybody only listens to Justin Timberlake (SexyBack! SexyBack!) and Kelly Clarkson. Is she even relevant anymore? Anyway, Steve-o and I went to see Stanton Moore at The Knitting Factory on Saturday. He is an amazing funk drummer (of […]
