Hey! How are you? You look great today! You have the most amazing smile! It makes your eyes twinkle! I don’t tell you enough how special you are to me!
I don’t know what to say about this. I don’t know where it came from. But Will Ferrell has taken the spot in my world formerly held by Bill Murray–the guy who can make me laugh just by showing up.
So here’s The Landlord – Enjoy!
If the embedded movie doesn’t work for you (or show up properly) head over to funnyordie to watch it there!
I decided early on to put together an Oscars pool for my new co-workers. Most of them are serious cinematics. So I picked a dozen categories and went in search of a Web 2.0 solution for running the pool. Googling “office pool” brought me piles of links to betting sites. There seemed to be several sites hardwired for NFL weekly pools. But I had a really tough time finding a service that would give me some flexibility to do something besides a sports pool.
Are you sick of reading about the iPhone yet? I’m planning on trekking into The City tomorrow and hope to get a first hand look, but spent plenty of time last night reading the specs, watching the keynote video and going through the flash presentation that Apple posted. After the first blush of excitement several questions popped up that will require some answers between now and June when this puppy actually goes on sale.
Here’s my short list:
Do you know which superhero you are? I am spiderman, dude. It must be that redheads fetish….take the quiz and see if you’re more Green Lantern or Wonder Woman….
Your results:
You are Spider-Man

I’ve been struggling here for a bit trying to decide which of two posts to leave for ya’ll on Christmas Day. I had planned to go with the feel-good YouTube video of the Apollo 8 Astronauts reading the creation story from Genesis in the Bible during their trip to the moon. Can you imagine the screams about that today? The Festivus celebrators along would have shut down NASA’a switchboard.
My kids are living an asynchronous life. This dawned on me on the way to school the other morning. A song was playing on Radio Disney that both my 5 and 8 year old were singing along with. As it ended, my son yelled, “Play it again, daddy.”
“Ummm, I can’t,” I said, “that was on the radio.”
In a struggle to maintain some patience with my clearly nonsensical response, he said, “Daddy, just hit the backwards button.”
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God; your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
You know its coming…Apple’s 30th Anniversary is April 1st and we all expect (Steve as much as said so) some cool anouncements in early April. Of course I have no idea, no inside information, no tipsters. But I do have a brain and some of the next steps seem obvious. So here’s what’s coming…
New iBook replacement–this will be the low end of the MacBook line as the iBook and PowerBook lines merge into the new name. It’ll be single core and sounds like it will carry a 13″ screen. Likelihood is 90%.
Dear Philip Seymour Hoffman,
I’m not in the habit of writing notes to movie stars. Mostly because I don’t like them very much and they smell a little strong of moral indignation for my taste. But, well, I think you’re different. Ever since I saw you as the fluffer wannabe in Boogie Nights I’ve known that you are my kind of star (that scene trying on the too-tight nylon shirt? OMG!)
Can’t get enough video feeds? Haven’t ponied up for that video iPod yet and need some PC entertainment? Check out the Democracy Internet TV platform. It works on both Windows and Macs, so no excuses for anybody. Its open source based and free.
Download the player and let the Channel Guide load you up some choices. Let me recommend Beer Activated Girl, Mercedes vs. Granny, the MPAAORIAA Warning Parody, the William Shatner rendition of Rocket Man, and the Daily Show clips on the Cheney Shoots Pal story.
