You know, I need to blog on why I too now think that Vista sucks, because it’s for totally different reasons than most others.
I don’t have major beef with the interface, the DRM didn’t prevent me from doing anything I wanted, I loved the media center, and in general most of […]

2006 was the best year in my life-to-date in terms of concert attendance; I caught Steely Dan, Aerosmith, The Strokes, and NIN, among others. Since I didn’t blog about it then, I’ll describe each quickly:

Steely Dan - $10 tickets for lawn tix at Nissan Pavilion, AWESOME show, amazing musicianship. There was a trumpet/trombone […]

I recently attended my first Passover Seder, and can think of no better way of doing it full honor & justice than by paraphrasing the great A. Lavigne, who - while gentile - sings and gestures with the heart & soul of one who has escaped Egyptian persecution. I ate of the bitter herb, […]

A quick update on multiple goings-on in the world, some recent, some… not so much:

Another sad year for the Oscars. I speak not of the presentation itself, which was interestingly muted and low-key relative to years past, and featured some interesting performance art-ish attempts at classing things up, but rather of the award distribution. […]

cold, what you weren’t because
someone else was, and the […]

While I wish to refrain from becoming one of those sorts who spends more time cycling out different site designs than actually, say, adding new content, I want to move this site into a more professional direction and use it to focus on some of the stuff I do outside of OverClocked ReMix, which gets […]

The best argument that America has more celluloid taste than the rest of the world gives us credit for is the consistently embarrassing discrepancy between what the Hollywood Foreign Press thinks, and what I think.
Granted, as a single person, I hardly represent America, or more specifically the United States Of, but who pray tell are […]

I’ll confess to not watching the entirety of the supposed film classic Breathless; in the end it was a bit too slow and a bit too French, I suppose. Perhaps the film’s title suggests the audience should not hold their own waiting for something to happen - a guarantor of asphyxiation. However, I […]

EW have repeatedly dubbed HBO’s series The Wire “The Best Drama on Television”, citing its recently concluded fourth season as the pinnacle of the Baltimore crime drama’s excellence. EW’s a mixed bag for me; I got a free subscription somehow a couple years ago, and have been receiving it ever since, pro bono. […]
