Hell, for that matter, put him in a cage and poke with him sticks. Get him really pissed off. We need him healthy and angry for San Diego.

Pre-Season Grossman
Okay, so Grossman had some issues during the game against Indy. Three fumbles and an interception, to be exact. So what? #1, it’s pre-season …
KISSology Volume II
KISS’ Kissology Volume II, 1978 – 1991 DVD set exploded onto the charts, debuting at the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Top Music Video Chart this week. This is impressive when you consider that there’s not much new material on this set. Most of it has been circulating the underground for years.
Sweet Potato
Cracker’s Sweet Potato is one of the coolest songs ever.
Semi-Interesting Developments at Walmart
iTunes is more than the iPod. iTunes represents an experience. You plug your iPod into your computer. You fire up iTunes, browse the iTunes Music Store (iTMS), make a few purchases, then with the click of a button, the songs are on your iPod and you’re ready to go. People who purchase songs from iTMS are invested in more than an individual song. They’re invested in the user experience, which is easier and more straightforward than anything else on the market. Most iTunes users — rightly or wrongly — don’t care about DRM because under the iPod/iTunes/iTMS system, it just works. And that’s what really matters to them. Click, browse, buy, boom. It just works.

And I’ve dealt with many of Earth’s scum, both gay and straight. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with a person’s ability to contribute to society, lead a productive life and contribute greatly to those around them.
Mike Lee’s Motherfucker
His post entitled Sincerity Theory really hit home with me. What Mike calls Sincerity Theory closely mirrors what I’ve long called Living Honestly, a theory I developed at a point in my life when my world was crashing around me and my stress level was such that I most likely lost 7-10 years of my life within the space of five months.
Pixelmater Enters Private Beta
The Pixelmator guys have announced that they are seeding the first private beta today. Although I didn’t volunteer to be a beta tester, I’ve been following the development closely and I’m really looking forward to this application. They say they plan on having 3 beta seeds, which I feel is fairly ambitious. [...]
Coulrophobia
This entry is inspired by this photo at Shorpy. Fortunately my coulrophobia isn’t extreme. Clowns weird me out to a minimal degree. Except the Shorpy clowns. Those guys seriously put on the weird.
