5 things I got for Christmas (because it is about consumerism)

Pink Coral Nintendo DS Lite NCAA sized Wilson Football Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin for Nintendo DS Lagavulin The Forge

Wii: Internet Channel (trial version) impressions.

WTF AWESOME!? This morning I was, again, greeted by the cool pulsating glow of my best friend in the world Wii. “Oh shit!” I said, remembering that the Opera-made web browser was supposed to drop today. I’m not sure why I switched into a narrative right there, weird. Anyway as is custom with downloading crap [...]

Wii: Forecast channel impressions

I woke up this morning greeted by the pulsating blue glow of my Wii telling me that I had a message. Turns out it wasn’t midas sending me another Civil War general Mii, but it was Nintendo letting me know that the Forecast Channel was available for download! I’ve only had about five minutes to [...]

Finding staples at Staples®

True story. Friday, I went to Staples to buy staples. Seemed like a pretty good plan. Now, one might think that Staples would dedicate some elaborate glowing homage to its namesake product, but one would be wrong. Instead, they love staples so much that they put “Staples®” on everything they sell, so finding staples among [...]

5 things you probably don’t know about me

TAGGED! This Sunday was the first time I have ever been picked first for anything sports related. I have a long history of being picked last at sports. I will regularly wake up in the middle of the night and think a giant spider is crawling on my pillow. I freak out and scream like [...]

The ladies of RVABlogs

RVABlogs.com, in its infancy, was a dirty corner of the web filled with local political hacks pointing their grubby little fingers at each other. Today a cadre of lady bloggers regularly pound out some serious quality blogs. Over the past year the site has doubled in popularity — which means more ladies AWWWW YEAH!!! Last [...]

Things that happened at my birthday throwdown

This Friday I had the bestest birthday party ever thrown by my awesome wife. Here is a (incomplete) list of things that happened: I drank a ton of beer. Not just any beer, but some really nice beers. Thanks to everyone who kept putting tasty open beers in my hands. I definitely got a beer [...]

Why does Richmond City Council hate fun?

If you love fun, Richmond, and beer you need drop whatever you are doing and head on over to RiverCityRapids to read Snoopy’s bit on Richmond’s War on Nightlife. I’ll summarize via blockquotes: For example, Section Sec. 6-159 (b) of the proposal (Scroll to Page 9) states that if a club expects to reach its [...]

Wii: First thoughts part II – Cruise Control!

A dozen days and a 1,000,000 Wiis sold later I’m back with some more thoughts on the Nintendo Wii. Miis are really fun to make. Miis are friendly little avatars you can make and share with your friends. It is surprising how much of a waste of time fun creating these little guys can be. [...]

10 movie reviews in under 2,000 characters

The Royal Tenenbaums I’m late to the whole Wes Anderson thing, but better late than never right? I mean, who is your favorite in this movie? Everyone turns in a stellar performance. ***** Delicatessen Amelie director Jean-Pierre Jeunet shows us why you can’t ever trust French people. They may just eat you. **** Borat Should [...]
