So here’s my bizarre dream from last night. I was part of a hypothetical season of The Real World which took place in a very conservative college town in Georgia. (A state which I’ve never visited.) The catch was that the house would be populated by crazy liberal smokers/drinkers/sex fiends and MTV would get to…

If you’re at Seybold on 9/11 (spooky day to be in Moscone Center…), I’ll be speaking as part of the Technology Strategy track, in a segment called “Influencing Your Company’s Vision.” Come on by. Bring vegetables to toss.

I tried grinding my own beef today, a process which was extremely enjoyable (though the end product was not all that noticably different than Safeway’s pre-ground). If you’re a dedicated cook, I recommend trying it. If you’re a really dedicated cook, I recommended hitting this site.

Today I am the birthday boy. I thusly think the name of this store is amusing.

A chronology of recent events. 9/5, 2pm – Arrive at home, anticipating delivery of bunk beds for kiddie room. Delivery (privately shipped from Texas) is scheduled for 2 to 4pm. 4pm – No sign of delivery folks. 6pm – Still no sign of delivery folks. Call to shipping company yields answering machine. 6:30pm – Depart…

Checked out the Yes Yoko Ono exhibit today at SFMOMA. Packed with people all trying to figure out if it all really came down to “yes” or if there was something more to it. Speaking of art, it made me think of a really great art idea. I’m not going to tell you what it…

American Idol‘s finale is tonight. I actually tried to call in twice last night to vote for Kelly, but it was busy. By the way, did anyone else think that the winner of the British Pop Idol — who performed last night as well — sucked? I found his singing ability poor.

The Oakland A’s have won 19 games in a row now, and naturally the local media are wondering “where are the fans!?” Doesn’t take a genius to figure that out. Here they are.

Maddening! Now Half Mast is back in the 1.1 million range. This thing must be rigged. P.S. Super Nachos at the Metreon are about $7.50.

Stephanie Greene produces some amazing work. She frequently puts ready-to-hang abstracts up on eBay. Check out the assemblages — pop art meets Dali?

This poorly-proofread page of “forbidden movie plots” is worth a look. I like especially how I Am Sam is referred to as Sam I Am. But dude, what’s your beef with Minority Report? (Courtesy of reader Jim Dedman.)

I’m only 11 minutes into Glitter on HBO, and already I see why it was generally pegged as the worst movie of 2001.

After starting at roughly the 2.27 millionth most popular sale on Amazon, Half Mast has cracked the top 100,000 after a month on sale. Today the book is at 98,051. My other book (now out of print, it goes for $5 used) is at 162,610. My brother’s book is at 92,122. JungleScan turns authorship into…

Been having an e-mail exchange with the director of Fish in a Barrel, over my terse (and overwhelmingly negative) review of the film. I get a lot of letters from filmmakers unhappy with their coverage, but Kent’s letter touched me enough that I offered him a chance to explain the convoluted plot on the site.…

Don’t touch my stuff!

I’m amazed this page is updated on a daily basis. Offender #271, you got it goin’ on!

My barbershop (and it’s really a barbershop, none of this salon business) has a stack of adult magazines that borders on being a fire hazard. The bold tagline of FOXX caught my eye (it was sitting on top, I swear): “#1 in crazy-ass whores making spectacles of themselves!” I like to think that this site…

Now this is art.
