I’ve always gotten a lot of spam. I filter most of it with a one-two punch of SpamAssassin on the server side and Thunderbird‘s own filters on the client side. These help a little bit, but far too much spam still makes it through to my inbox and every Monday morning is a huge annoying…

Kathy Griffin is dating Woz. Weird.

Have you played the Bioshock demo yet? It came out Sunday night. HOLY BALLS. Gears of War used to be the best-looking game on the 360. I think Bioshock has stolen that title. It’s a little scary though. But fun. This could easily win Game Of The Year.

See this thing? It’s a FastTrack transponder. Roughly 30% of the cars that I see in Orange County have these affixed to their windshield. I don’t take The Toll Roads much, but when I do I usually pay cash. This, I have learned, is dumb. I should have been using a transponder the whole time….

Step 1: Find a Chuck E Cheese that’s going out of business.Step 2: Convince the manager to sell you the audio animatronic show figures. If it’s a Chuck E. Cheese’s you’ll probably end up with the “Pizza Time Players”. If it used to be a Showbiz Pizza Place before the buy-out, you’ll get the Rock-Afire…

I’m going to a bachelor party this weekend. I’ll be on a houseboat on Lake Mohave on the Nevada/Arizona border for the next three days with a dozen strangers! What can you do on a houseboat? Jetski and wave-running, of course! Those are fun, sure, but why stop there? Having never fished before, I decided…
