amazon apologizes for getting caught. "it was a mistake..." yeah... that's it. <9.28.00>

when i grow up i want to be noel godin, belgian pie thrower to the stars. <9.28.00>

really ugly santa cruz apartment building for sale on ebay. i didn't want anything to do with it when i lived there, i don't want anything to do with it now - but you can have it for a mere $10 million. <9.28.00>

sometimes i just want to give it all up and apply for a job at fry's. maybe they'd promote me to the returns department. <9.26.00>

or maybe i'll be able to join the atari historical society! <9.26.00>

favorite jumbled quote of the day: as my cow-orker scavanged the abandoned desk of someone who had just quit, she was told "don't do that - it's like taking candy from a dead man." <9.26.00>

the summer wants you to go to asindee on monday night - now do as she says! <9.24.00>

san francisco ran out of cemetery space decades ago - but thankfully we didn't outlaw death. <9.24.00>

this guy used to hang around santa cruz a lot with his big black van covered with newspaper articles about how stephen king killed john lennon. so, for your amusement, i'd like to share the steve lightfoot exhibit. <9.24.00>

now here's a stupid marketing idea gone wrong - send fake hand grenades via mail! they should have just sent death threats instead - at least that's what the mafia would do. <9.24.00>

here's another stupid marketing idea - would you like a soy chocolate double decaf latte with your big mac? <9.24.00>

normally, i wouldn't go near spin with a ten foot pole, but i'm afraid to admit that i was oddly compelled to read their list of the 100 sleaziest moments in rock. <9.20.00>

here's an interesting article on my friend's place, the werepad. <9.20.00>

and here's jacques' description of the next movie that he wants me to be working on. when he told me that he was going to be making this, he said "i really feel like my perfect work environment is to be surrounded by 40 amazon women." how could i disagree? <9.20.00>

artcarfest 2000 is next weekend! come party at the crucible with the coolest cars in town and see how my record car weathers this latest heat wave. <9.18.00>

watch creepy educational films from the 50's about the benefits of radiation in medicine. would you like some anti-nausea pills with your atomic cocktail? <9.18.00>

as long as we're at it, here's a description of the once-common shoe fitting x-ray device found in most shoe stores around the country. proving that radiation poisoning can truly be fun for the whole family. <9.18.00>

wow - i'm on a roll. i feel so good, i think i want to drill a hole in my head. <9.18.00>

i have to admit that i'm not the biggest fan of smashing pumpkins or the offspring, but i'm behind them 100% of the way when it comes to dealing with their record labels. <9.15.00>

step-by-step instructions on solving your rubick's cube. <9.15.00>

i'm so very, very sad. the uc theater in berkeley is in danger of being closed. <9.14.00>

on the other hand - the protestors won in the mission! <9.14.00>

for some reason, the mosquitoes have been getting into the mosquito net lately, which means that i'm trapped there with the mosquito. i killed one yesterday and blood splattered everywhere. that's why i want a mosquito magnet. <9.14.00>

what a crime. france has jailed jose bove - the defender of decent food everywhere. fuck mcdonalds with their goddamned fry guys and big purple fuzzy thing (what the heck is his name anyway?)! <9.13.00>

ok, something weird is definitely going on in jacksonville. is it in the water? no... it must be in the salsa. <9.13.00>

parents in jacksonville are up in arms about their kids studying witchcraft. <9.12.00>

we all know it's because the onion is right about harry potter. <9.12.00>

amazon.com studies satanism too. computerworld has discovered that amazon charges different dvd prices based on what browser you use, who your isp is and how much they think they can pull the wool over your eyes. <9.12.00>

sorry for the downtime. my files became corrupt and the next thing i knew, they were all down at the casino threatening teamsters. <9.11.00>

i've always had my own personal gripes about aint-it-cool-news, but it seems like harry knowles has been getting under the skin of a few other folks. film threat hasn't been too wild about harry and the la times isn't too excited about him either. <9.11.00>

salon.com tells us everything we never wanted to know about porta-potties at burning man. thank god for porta potties at burning man. <9.11.00>

a fascinating tale about napster, the recording industry, and sheet music. <9.6.00>

while we're on the subject, here's how some musicians are fighting back. <9.6.00>

i hope our band will do well in this crazy industry - we're excited about getting our cd distributed through parasol records. their site even features a write-up about us! <9.6.00>

they're cute, they're small, they're tiny houses at icontown. <9.6.00>

koko the gorilla is moving to better digs. she's probably sick of san francisco's gentrification too. <9.5.00>

speaking of which, here's an update on san francisco's endangered music scene. <9.5.00>

jack chick has a website! although i have to admit that i get a kick out of collecting the tiny tracts - the web can never replace that particular kind of litter. check out his latest about the evils of d&d. <9.3.00>
