New Year's Resolution #1: Gin
Gin. 2007 was the year of Scotch. Though I’m in no way ceasing my scotching, I’m aiming to become a gin-man. I love myself a very dry martini, so I figured it’s time to grow up & into gin from the common 007 shaken-vodka variety. Last night’s G&T & this afternoon’s pair of Saphires have me feeling pretty good about this resolution.

Never actually thought about the re-use part of retailer bags, but I do know what I like, and I’m fascinated with great shopping bags and retail packaging. Even though I have no use for them, I love to hold on to all Apple product packaging. A Moto Rizr box I had was possibly the most exciting packaging I’ve ever seen as the box slid open in 3 parts just like the real phone. But...

WatchThis is EXACTLY why video sharing sites exist. This is my first time hearing Dick, but he’s hilarious! Almost makes you think twice about selling your soul to the new empire (MS is so last dynasty, Rod). To Valleywag’s credit, I love how they pointed out that Dick uses Tumblr & Vimeo to get his commentary out, not the respective (& inferioir) google products — after...
Haircut in a trailer
Alright, I’ve put it off for far too long and it’s time to get my haircut. Yes, I’m afraid if that thing grows any further it will become a full-blown mullet. We have “onsite haircuts” today, and I’m scheduled to take a seat in the mobile-home-of-hair in 15m @ 3:00. It’s a far cry from my favorite hair stylist Erin @ Milvali Salon in SF, but...
