Drunk Jeff Goldblum
Hilarious: slow down an old Apple ad with Jeff Goldblum, and he sounds drunk as hell: And if you like Jeff, be sure to check out the Jeff GoldBluMan Group…
Opening Day in Japan
It’s opening day for the Sox! Nothing like getting up at 5:30 for a little pre-work baseball…
Embiggen is Becoming a Perfectly Cromulent Word
While looking at a slideshow on Flickr, I clicked the Options link on the page, just to see what was there. Turns out there’s an option to “Embiggen small photos to fill screen,” a clear reference to The Simpsons episode Lisa the Iconoclast : Jebediah: [on film] A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man.Edna: Embiggens? …
Album Cover Meme
Jeff pointed out an album cover meme that’s pretty fun: Just follow these rules to create the cover. The results can be pretty bizarre, but sometimes things oddly work out, like my cover (which, if I had to guess, would probably have a 70’s folk-rock sound to it):

Like Love, Baseball is in the Air
Ah yes, today is the official beginning of spring training! And I’m not sure if I feel good or nervous that, just like me, Josh Beckett could benefit from doing some sit-ups…
Pumpers Need to Pump!
One of my new favorite shows is Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! It’s pretty random and absurd, but also (I think) pretty damn funny.
