I have only ever watched Dancing with the Stars a few times – the ones where Marlee Matlin was on. But I’m still interested in who the contestants are, because I find it amusing to see people from all walks of life (Buzz Aldrin, dude!) compete at something they’re not at all familiar with. Thoughts [...]

James Randi Comes Out
I have already written some thoughts on James Randi coming out here on Wil Wheaton’s blog. I’ll paraphrase it for here, since some of it would be out of context otherwise: I’m not thrilled with the way he did it, honestly – I think being gleeful about coming out goes a lot further than hedging. [...]
Michael and Farrah
First of all, I wish MJ had hung on for one more news cycle, so Farrah could have had her day in the sun. I was watching MSNBC earlier, and one of the talking heads said they had been working on a Farrah tribute, but they pushed it aside when MJ died. It was all [...]
I Might Owe Brent Spiner $100
So, earlier today, Brent Spiner was talking about auctioning off his 400th Tweet. Instead, he posted a Groucho Marx quote. Then: “You can never go wrong with a good Groucho line. But, I will be auctioning the 500th. Best offer I got-$10. Not nearly enough.” When I saw this, I posted: @brentspiner I’ll give you [...]
My Celebrity
I finally figured out which celebrity I saw in the elevator at the market in L.A. It was either Heather Graham or Marley Shelton. They look kind of similar so I’m not sure. I figure Heather Graham would have had a bodyguard with her, but then again it was in L.A. so who knows? People [...]
Marlee on L Word
So we’re house-sitting at my in-laws’ for a couple of months while they’re on vacation, and they get all the Showtime channels. Last night and tonight I have been watching The L Word, and I just have to gush about Marlee Matlin. She is hotter than all things hot…she doesn’t make my jaw drop physically [...]
Reach for the Stars (Bring Your Wallet)
I know this is going to sound funny, but I’m absolutely serious. I have spent time poring over the stables of motivational speakers that can be hired to give talks at events. I think it is so cool that if you have enough money, you can have just about anybody come and talk to you, [...]
Guess Who?
I’m trying to figure out the answer to the Crimcheck.com background check contest. The game reminds me a little bit of Guess Who – remember that board game with the little people you flipped down when they were eliminated? And maybe also a bit of Clue. I’m not sure if the person pictured is really [...]
Gay Takei
Oh my god! George Takei is gay! This is so cool! Yay Sulu!
Bulletin Board Conversion
Tonight I am attempting to convert my community site from PHP-Nuke to Invision Power Board. I tried to just use the PHPbb converter for IPB, but that didn’t work too well. I am presently converting from PHP-Nuke to PHPbb (ironically, I did the reverse quite some time ago), and from there I will try the [...]
