Pirate Bay Witness’ Wife Overwhelmed With Flowers... →
brilliantology:(via minimology)
When Wallis was asked whether he wanted to be reimbursed for travel expenses etc, he light-heartedly suggested sending some flowers to his wife.
His statement was picked up by the large audience listening in to the live audio from the trial and flowers soon began arriving at the Wallis’ house.
Ok, beautiful. Top notch.

Miru Kim: Making art of New York’s urban ruins
Kim explores industrial ruins underneath NYC and then photographs herself in them, nude- to bring these massive, dangerous, hidden spaces into sharp focus. (via TED)
Give it a few minutes…her concept is amazing, and her images hauntingly touching.
Another great TED for the New York architect in your life.

Why I Love New York, Reason #3489573
Since I left the apartment this morning (with no bag, nothing), my post-work plans have possibly been, at any one time:
Going out for drinks in Midtown with friends
Going out for drinks near Union Square with out of town friends
Home watching Thursday night tv with friends
Brooklyn watching movies and eating soup
Going to a jazz show in Midtown
and finally, attending the philharmonic...

Harry Knowles' Watchmen review →
You knew it was coming. And it’s a must read for ANYONE who has read the novel and is nervous about the movie. It’s wonderfully well written, personal, and smart.
(seriously, I won’t blame anyone if they unfollow me for the next 10 days. I can’t promise this will get better, but like everyone with Obama leading up to Nov. 4 and Jan. 20th, there WILL be a drop off after...
Day 2 Mountain Dew Replacement
Cherry Coke Fountain Soda
[to those chiding me on giving up one sugary concoction for another, you are missing the point. This isn’t a waist reducing exercise to save my health - it’s a personal challenge to see if I have the willpower to kick an addiction to a certain product, and health benefits are a side effect. If Mountain Dew is my drink and the reason I drink soda, then cutting...

Watchmen in One Sentence [Winners]
From illustrator/judge Dave Gibbons at WatchmenComicMovie.com:
Watchmen is a sociopolitical superhero who-dun-it. - David Chase: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
As for runners up, I’ll go with these two:
Flawed vigilantes fight the tides of public opinion and impending war to save a world that no longer wants them. - Tucker Poindexter: Columbus, Indiana

24 hours of Watchmen [a celebration in one week]
3.6.9 (aka. the release of Watchmen) is one week from tomorrow, but my celebration starts one week from today. This is how I have it planned….
Thursday, March 5th
Right after work, I’m headed to the Apple Store in Soho to wait in line and catch a glimpse of Patrick Wilson (aka Nite Owl II) and Jeffery Dean Morgan (aka the Comedian) as they give an appearance and take questions on...

The promo appearances, dates, times, and guests for the upcoming Watchmen circuit. Set your DVRs.
“I’m willing to watch just about anyone fuck.”
– Jon, my old college roommate, about this.
So, I picked up my Macbook almost a year ago and henceforth, I went today and bought Apple Care Protection Plan on my way home from work today. I entered both serial numbers and it says it’s “pending.” How long should I expect to wait for confirmation that I got it in in time?
I have my DVR set to record all of the new Man vs. Wild, just in case I feel like watching one. I strongly recommend the most recent - Bear’s Survival Guide. It’s like Man vs. Wild ADD and perfect.
“possible” is the new “easy”

Some of you may recall a few weeks ago, when CH live-streamed Kevin Corrigan’s attempt to eat the entire vending machine. (The Washington Post even mentioned it.) Here’s the finished product.
This is great. I was worried.

Just a heads up if you are setting your DVR for Lost tonight: it runs through the :07 mark of the following hour. Do not make the mistake of missing the last 7 minutes. Your TV does not deserve to have an object thrown in its direction.

Blip.tv is officially challenging Tumblr and I’m In Like With You to paintball. We have more people so we’ll take both of you on at the same time.

Where do you guys play paintball round these parts? I used to play all the time.
