    America in 140 characters or fewer

    Last month I went to visit America for a couple weeks and I recorded the entire trip on the Twitter. Here are all my tweets, from the minute my vacation began to when I got back home. Sorry they’re in reverse order – I can’t find a tool that will export them from first to [...]

    Shirt Collars

    If nerd packs and belt hangdowns instantly imply prole leanings, there are other signs almost as clear. When you’re wearing a shirt with a sweater or jacket over it but omitting a necktie, what do you do with the shirt collar? Keeping all of it inside both sweater and jacket is upper- or upper-middle-class, partly, [...]

    Little Prince movie

    Did you know that there’s a film adaptation of The Little Prince? Neither did I, until I randomly downloaded it and watched it today.

    Here is my judgment on it: everything about it is splendidly perfect except for the kid’s hair. His hair is really, really bad. It is 80s rock star bad. Even worse, it’s [...]

    For travel between Manhattan and the DC suburbs: I endorse Tripper Bus. Having previously used Greyhound, all the Chinese companies operating from under the Manhattan Bridge, and Vamoose, as well as Amtrak and some of the airlines, without hesitation my one-way trip to Bethesda via Tripper was the most comfortable voyage I’ve taken from New [...]

    Lost 0504

    Some observations:

    Before I forget, I was just re-watching episode three, and I noticed that when Desmond goes to Widmore’s office, there’s some Dharma art on display. It’s a painting of a polar bear with the word NAMASTE across it. It’s pretty tacky and totally unlike what I’d expect of Widmore’s taste.
    Hurley’s orange jumpsuit is actually [...]

    Rod and Fox

    Here are the top five reasons why Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder are actually the same person:

    They both have now been advised to “trust no one.”
    They both insist that all they care about is the truth.
    They both have testified before government subcommittees.
    They both believe Elvis is still alive.
    They both look [...]

    This is the best job listing I’ve seen in months.
