Thank you for rearriving
Updated March 31, 2007
Entertainment [21-May-2005]Short reviews of particular movies I enjoy or hate (such as the new Star Wars movie, or Mel Gibson's Jesus flick). There's also a multimedia essay on Siegfried and Roy, band name suggestions, A-List celebs in Japanese commercials, a poem to Janeane Garafolo, and whatever else I feel like. Politics [July-2003]A few rants, mockery of those in power, and what little wisdom I've picked up in my dim, middle-aged life. Connoiseurs of impotent rage should check this out. Technology [July-2003]Microsoft Funnies, Technology Humor (it's NOT an oxymoron!), my brief and dull media appearances, a glossary of technology terms, and assorted tech knick-knacks. Literature [July-2003]For now, a bunch of links. I aspire to much more for this page. Oooh, there's a pretentious side to me just waiting to bust out! Corporate Life [October-2003]Memos, movies, songs, cult of personality, and reminiscences from my three and a half years as a low-level manager at a Fortune 50 corporation. These were the hardest 15-hour workweeks of my life. |
My Novels [July-2003]One novel is done, two more are in progress. This page features photos, 3-D movies, and other media related to the finished book. Gallery of the Damned [July-2003]A collection of images from customer orders taken while working at a copy store, along with absurd moments from the media:
Biography [June-2003]Who/what am I? What am I on? Whom have I been on? There are several pages here now, but this is an ongoing project as life unfolds. Family-Valued [31-March-2007]Links to photos and perverse but true year-end letters sent out to friends and family. Friendly Sites [27-July-2003]A collection of websites by friends. All of them strange, regardless of how mild their websites seem. |
Shooting nerd-fish in a barrel
After composing reviews of the recent Star Wars movies I got mad and wrote a review of the next one before it's been filmed. I posted a link to it in an obscure Macintosh Discussion Group and now over 25,000 people have read it and posted it to other discussion groups. Most have appreciated as satire, others have used naughty words and expressed doubts I have actually seen the film yet. Can it be some nerds lack a sense of humor?
Does this mean I'm published now?
Salon.com has published two letters I've submitted. The sense of validation this gives me is truly pitiful.
Letter #2 was about the telemarketing industry's concern about the national Do Not Call list. Scroll down the page to find me committing a subject-verb agreement error and using the phrase "hard cheese".
Letter #1 on a silly topic was so irresistably a young red-headed lesbian in the Midwest who wants to be a cop yet also plays the harp (and defines her religion as "neo-pagan") cited it on her website among her "favourite" quotes (one of a few thousand). Click here for the Letter to Salon (scroll down the page) and click here for the woman's website (scroll about halfway down her massively long page). My original, longer letter to Salon was submitted via web browser and is now lost, so you'll just have to trust me that in its first form it was much funnier. |
