Being Negative on the Internet

Only invites strangers to argue with you and is totally not worth it. Complete waste of time, my mistake.

Dudes in Dresses — Didn't make it past Season 1 of...

Last night, I went to the theater for the Star Trek TNG 25 year anniversary special. Ahem. Anyway, there was some behind-the-scenes footage, some outtakes, interviews, and the like. Then, we watched 2 full-length episodes from Season 1. During the climactic moment of S1 E6, “Where No One Has Gone Before,” this dude (above) appears momentarily in the background wearing a mini-dress....

Watching stage 11 on the Tour de France I noticed a couple of dudes in Mash kits running alongside Chris Horner with the California flag. They steamroll a pedestrian, then get a shout-out from Phil! YES! Direct link to NBC streaming footage of Stage 11 (if you have paid access) it’s at 3:12:00.

When I had a meal at a local veg-friendly fine dining establishment, I got this ad: When I bought some groceries at the food co-op: When I bought some bike components from the local bike shop: ...

Watch the Tour de France Online

I’m on Day 3 / Stage 2 of NBC Sports online coverage of the 2012 Tour de France, and in case any other cycling fans were curious, I think it’s a good deal and works well. I paid the $30 for an all access pass. I can watch the stages live, or I can watch the full 3+ hour long stage footage later. The video quality is really good, this is way better than buying full satellite cable...

Informed by meetings with top physicists and cosmologists at MIT and Cornell University, “Dark Matter” is intended to be the first in a series of albums that GZA—born Gary Grice in Brooklyn in 1966—will put out in the next few years, several of which are designed to get a wide audience hooked on science… Another album will focus on the life aquatic, a subject he’s...

My First Tweet - Over Five Years Ago

About as inane as they get: I joined Twitter in January 2007. I thought I joined during SXSWi that year in March, but apparently I had an account in January. The next few tweets were me talking about how: I don’t get it Then wondering if it makes more sense once you add friends Then going, “Ohhhh, it makes way more sense once you add friends.” It’s been over 5 years...
