Horkey interview
29, Sep 2006Here’s the link. It’s a really short interview but it’s only the 2nd or 3rd one I’ve ever seen with him online.

25, Sep 2006Allison spotted this the other night. We were watching the season premiere of The Office, our first episode in HD. The certificate on the wall behind Michael Scott (played by Steve Carrell) reads: This certifies Michael Scott as the proud owner of a Seyko [sic] Timepiece. Nice. BTW, finally watched the premiere of The Unit. [...]

22, Sep 2006I am a sucker for a music video. kottke linked to Stylus list of the “Greatest Videos” whihc would be pretty boring except that they have embedded the YouTube videos for all of them.
