Indie Flicks, Billion Dollar Mistakes and SNL
- Caught this little indie flick with Morgan Freeman and Paz Vega (the female lead in Spanglish). What a quirky little movie! Freeman plays an out of work character actor that’s dropped off in an predominantly Hispanic neighborhood to study a grocery store manager for a role in a movie. He latches onto Paz Vega, [...]
Taco Beds, TV and Bad Sushi
I enjoyed the premiere of The Shield’s final season this week. It was a slow start considering the pacing of the previous episode, but it laid some brilliant groundwork for future story lines. I’m thinking Shane lives, Ronnie goes off the deep end, Vic and Acevada take down the Mexican cartel in a very bloody [...]
Simplify Media is Simply Divine
I sat in a coffee shop today and browsed the music on a friend’s laptop. I browsed by albums for a while but eventually found Ben Folds new album by an artist search. I queued up the music and sat there listening to the tracks while sipping my Splenda-filled jolt of caffeine. Of course all [...]
Friday blurbs
I loaded custom firmware on my PSP today, much to my own technical dismay. I tried using Gizmodo’s method, but it was complete crap. I delved into the web and found other means. The PSP is easily the most useless of my portable devices. Besides Skype, I really don’t use it for much else. I’m [...]
A lazy Saturday
I took Chris Brogan’s advice today and beefed up my LinkedIn page a bit. I added a bit of a summary and linked out to the RSS feed on this blog. I also wrote a recommendation for a fellow writer. I’ve really started to notice an increase in networking lately and I’m attributing it to [...]
Writing or Sleeping, so many choices.
I’ve may have fallen into a Mobius Strip of writing endlessly until it’s time to sleep again. I’m content to repeat that cycle over and over while my bank account gleefully greets the array of dead presidents being added every day. The lucrative lifestyle makes me want to move again, perhaps up north for a [...]
My Favorite Free iPhone Apps
I picked up my 3G iPhone last Friday. The consumer madness was in full swing at the AT&T store. They had 40 iPhones in stock and about 60 people in line. I snagged the 8 gig model and spent the rest of the day checking out the applications on iPhone. Here are some of my [...]
A Smattering of Blurbs
Still up in the air about the 3G iPhone and it’s only a few days away. It’s going to raise my phone bill another $30 a month. I really don’t mind that much, but I have plenty of wi-fi access for net browsing. Maybe I’ll try canceling the 3G data plan after I sign up. [...]
