love this video, we played it on the music show in college all the time: http://tinyurl.com/32ps6y

Man Street Fighter IV is looking good. It won't have character customization though, will it? http://is.gd/3mfp

moral of the story: don't invite me on your podcast. I'll talk your ear off.

recording a podcast with Warcraft Outsiders here in a few http://warcraftoutsiders.com/

almost forgot that I'm guesting on a podcast tonight

Totally making @gedeon's http://tinyurl.com/2hhchs as soon as I have some free baking time.

Joe Walsh on Guitar Hero: "No, I don't play that game. I have important business on Earth."

playing some rock band before the guitar class. It's like practicing, right?

Holy carp, TUAW.com redesign is live! Don't worry, I didn't get the logo at first either but it'll grow on you.

The word was "fail," everybody. You people.

I'm glad McCain's triumphant return to Washington helped pass the bailout plan. Oh wait. They have a word for this, rhymes with "bail."

y'know, the last time the economy crashed, we didn't have the Internet. Maybe we don't actually *need* Wall Street any more.

wow that nonsense string of words Tina Fey said as Palin was what Palin actually said: http://tinyurl.com/3l9lwj

Surprised to see so many Alliance on this WI contest: http://is.gd/3hBf Hordie WoW bloggers, rally your troops!

Really disappointed that the Postal Service seem done. One album is not enough at all.

Just wrote my first Cocoa application by myself, not following a tutorial. Not Cocoa Touch yet, but surprised to find I'm getting there.

Mad Men is so, so brilliant.

Good news: I made an iPhone app. Bad news: I can't figure out how to make another.

gyros are great. And I have to say, I feel like I really am wrapping my head around this objective-c stuff. :)

trying to wrap my mind around the metaphors of object-oriented programming

Coming back from the farmers market, hoping I complete everything in my plan this weekend

F the world. All of it.

I've been reading infinite jest for months but now I'm scared to carry around in public for fear people will think I'm bandwagon.

Too bad @joystiq didn't ask Johnathan Blow what he though about Soulja Boy's review. otherwise, good interview. http://is.gd/38Bh

Just had a good conversation with the cable guy fixing my on-demand -- he's a radio/tv grad, too.

Took a look at the iPhone SDK for the first time. This is going to be really, really hard, but I'm going to do my darndest anyway.

why isn't tricia helfer on burn notice any more?

I can feel myself crashing from exhaustion. Trying to get some more work done before I pass out completely.

Wow, McCain suspended his campaign and he didn't even get to sit in on the bailout press conference. Maybe they'll give him a t-shirt.

back from another morning of tutoring. I worked a lot last night, but there's some work left to do today.

Came up with a few good ideas for project ideas over the past day or so. Now just have to figure out which one I can/want to do.

Big spider climbing down my wall, not cool.

Suzanne Vega turns out to be an incredibly charming (and therefore amazing) writer. http://is.gd/342K

Getting to work now makes you a bit late, McCain. If you'd worked on the economy your last 20 years in office, you wouldn't have to suspend.

I don't think there's any American food so variable in taste (from very good to very bad) as a burger. I just had a really good one.

Heading down to Cabrini green to do some writing with the kids

I'm thinking of buying like five clocks and putting them on my wall and labeling them LA, Chi, NY, London, Tokyo. Is that weird?

See, what we need is an App Store app that will let you install and run rejected App Store apps.

Listening to the new TV on the Radio. I think they're finally at a point where I might get them.

"We have no plans to remove the Mage class."

Checking out http://www.obsessable.com/, very good-looking gadget site by Crowd Fusion.

Almost forgot why I have a Wii, but this reminded me: http://is.gd/2ZmD

So I heard there's actually a good manga out there, but I'm scared to pick it up -- as if I needed to be any more of a stereotypical nerd.

if there's any question why gaming is full of nonsense sequels and subpar shooters, let's put that to rest right now: http://is.gd/30MZ

Really frustrating when the cms you're supposed to be working on won't load at all...

Whoah, WoW Insider has a badge on PMOG (though we have to share it). Very awesome.

Good story about embargoes in games journalism: http://is.gd/2YI0 Always willing to dance with PR... as long as it's in service to readers.

So seriously, who made those genre icons for iTunes. I poked around, but couldn't find out.

I have a history of believing things that are dirty aren't.
