Strange as it sounds, the best way to boost sales at your independently owned coffeehouse may just be to have Starbucks move in next-door.— cubicle17
Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago →
I came across the album a couple of months ago, but I haven’t had a full appreciation for the sound until coming home for the holidays. The album was recorded in Eau Claire, WI, about 3 hours from where I am and where I grew up. It’s been snowing since last night and the album has been on repeat in my room since the first flake touched ground.
I’m bummed because he’s...

Yesterday and Today have been almost non-stop Mario Galaxy. Thanks, Santa! — dalasverdugo
Santa isn’t real, idiot.
WatchWe moved the Virb.com offices to Back Bay in Boston. Which is awesome. We are about 4 blocks from Copley Square on Beacon Street. Also awesome. I love it. It’s a nice and cozy little place with red walls, where the four of us in Boston (Dave, Stephen, Brad and I) will be merrily chipping away at the new Virb 2 that will be launching Q1 of 2008.

I can’t tell you how many people have told me how much fun they have asking others “if they can spot ‘something’ in the logo.” To have filled in the arrow, or to somehow make it more “visible” would have been like Henny Youngman saying “Please take my wife” instead of “Take my wife. Please.” Punch lines that need to be explained are neither funny nor memorable.thanks jacob
I'm organizing my drawer
And, like countless other things in life, I’m reminded of tetris. Fitting odd shapes next to eacher to make a square. Also seen in your trunk, putting your groceries away. Also seen in the groceries, where the bagger placed your food. Also seen in sex, where the penis goes into the vagina.

There was a line in The Farnsworth Invention yesterday that I have yet to figure out. Some background… The line was uttered in a description of David Sarnoff, who was the president of RCA/NBC. At first, Sarnoff wanted the airwaves to be free of advertising and profit primarily from the sale of radios. After the company suffered because of the Great Depression, Sarnoff was forced to put ads...

I'm going to see a movie
by myself, for the second weekend in a row. Completely by choice. I haven’t told anyone that I’m going, and it’s because I don’t want them there bothering me while I’m trying to watch a movie.

From Andrew WK's FAQ circa 2004
Question: Andrew, my friend told me you hit on her at a bar in NYC. Her name was Leslie and she said you smelled really bad. Is this true? asked by dillweed on Saturday, April 3, 2004 Answer: Dear Dillweed, You’re right, I did hit on her. I hit on her all night until she was bloody and smashed beyond recognition. Right when I got into the bar I walked right up to her and hit her right on...

It’s hard not to dwell on how things could have been, though. If I’d only known what was in store when my dear Leah left the house that day, I could’ve gotten on the phone and doubled our coverage.
I Like All Types Of Music →
One day I’ll be in the mood for rock and roll, so I’ll put on the new Fleetwood Mac album, and the next I’ll feel like classical, so I’ll reach for the Titanic soundtrack. I even listen to jazz, like that hunk Kenny G.
IKE 'BEATS' TINA TO DEATH →

An apology to urinals
First of all, accept my complete graditude for letting me pee on you. Remember that one time I backed up all the way to the handicap stall and my buddy Ryan rode under my golden path on his skateboard? Twice? Good times have been had, and for that I thank you. Something else must be said, though. It’s about your flushing mechanism. You still never upgraded to a hand-free sensor. ...

— azspotPlus, when you go with oldstylewebdesign, you get that retro look which is coming back in a big way. Tumblr should totally hire these dudes! Unfortunately their pricing section seems to be under construction at the moment.
