I’m in Arkansas right now visiting family and stealing internet from their next door neighbors’ WiFi. On the way here I was reflecting on my work life. I’m a little dissatisfied with work. It’s more work bores me than it bothers me. Though working conditions kind of suck. But I’m ten years into my career…

Dirty Questions for Charisma
Playboy has Charisma Carpenter of Buffy and Angel on the cover this month. And they have 12 dirty questions for her on their website. Mostly safe for work. I have seen the picture and I have to say I wasn’t impressed with the photography. Give the beauty and hotness of the model the photographer could…
D&D Geek?
There is currently running a radio commercial for something that uses the voice of a geeky character, talking around a retainer, about his D&D game.

The Future: Part One
Seth Godin, author of Free Prize Inside – which I need to get around to reviewing – has a list of things he thinks will be true in the future. Lots of people have reproduced his list, but no one has commented on it. Here’s my take. Hard drive space is free My first reaction…
Jetsons
Did you know there were only 24 episodes of the Jestons? The first season just came out and it was the only one. Very interesting. It was also written for prime-time, but stuck around on Saturday morning for years to come. Came out the same time as the Flintstones, which had the longest animated run…
