Atention to Detial

I just realized the contact info I’ve had up on this site for ages has been wrong.
So all friends, foes and potential employers wanting to hit me up old-school on the landline, change the 9 to a 0 and we’re golden.

Totally Loving…

Nerd Boyfriend, the new blog that makes it that much easier for the fashionable man in your life to dress like world-class “geeks” like Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg (above), Buster Keaton, or even Andrew W.K.

Dear Diary

I  can’t get enough of purple DIARY. It’s chic and cool — a peek into the enviable world of Purple Fashion Magazine editor Olivier Zahm. But that’s not why I like it. It is unabashedly adult, and in a way that has nothing to do with sex [though there's plenty of that]. To call it sophisticated would be cliché. [...]

Quid Pro Quo

Ty Pennington has been on my mind a lot lately. A story I wrote about him is out now on Glasses Glasses (Volume 2: Cops & Robbers).
Head over to his Wikipedia and you’ll learn some things you never knew before — like the fact that his birthname is the not so glamorous Gary Tygert [...]

See You on Spanker Lane

McP just passed along what might be the best article in NY Times History: “No Snickering: That Road Sign Means Something Else.” Gotta love those Brits.
While I love Wetwang, Titty Ho, Crotch Crescent and Tumbledown Dick, the UK certainly isn’t the only place with throughly inappropriate place names. Let’s look at PA shall we?

One Way Ticket to Downer Town

Dear Grub Street,
Thank you in advance for ruining my weekend by linking to Radio 1’s delightfully depressing Alcohol Calorie Counter.
On the other hand, I’m signing up for a week of Bikram Yoga tomorrow. Thanks for the inspo.
Sincerely,
Heather C

Surely, This Would Happen

And that is why I won’t be having children any time soon.

Revenge of the Nerds

I’ve played around with computer programming since I was a kid, and 15 years later it finally hits me: Armed with the right knowledge, nerds can make you do whatever they want.
Excellent.

The Story of Siegfried, Roy, Steph and Me

The web is a seriously strange place. Today’s example: The Story of Siegfried, Roy, Steph and me.
McParty and I were talking about Siegfried & Roy. Specifically, we realized that considering the fact that they’re such major celebs, we knew surprisingly little about the dainty duo. Like the fact that they were German. Then I [...]
