All Things Chill

Following a Windows 2003 vs. Suse Enterprise discussion on Ars IRC. Chatting on the DL while listening to an unannounced set by Jorge. Blogging randomness on All Things Chill. Jumping around on MySpace. Waiting for the new Naruto episode. Editing pictures in Fireworks. Sipping a Mint Condition from Caribou [...]

Wallpaper sized screen capture here (1280px x 1024px). I just wrote a huge spoiler on Bleach 58, but I deleted it. Why? ‘Cause it don’t do it no justice. It was too badass to put into words. Seriously. B A D A S S. Let me try to [...]

The Puma Taper in black. HOTT. Ok. So I’ve been looking for a good pair of kicks to sport (translation: shoes to wear) while I’m out on the town. Something subdued, yet stylish enough to be noticed by those who would actually care to notice them. They might seem [...]

It’s part t-shirt and part cuddle starter. It’s a Pillow Fight! Designed by Fiona Lee. I want it in the worst way. You can find it on the Threadless front page. Ooh Ooh! Speaking of Threadless…
Starting sometime on Monday we’ll be having a $10 sale so that you can [...]

I’m Internet famousesesssesses! One of my random Google Video clips was picked up by Jalopnik, Gawker’s auto-blog, a couple weeks ago here. It was a part of a weekly idiot search: Hoon of the day.
Trumpeting in Traffic
Today’s Hoon clip is short, has no sound and is basically a single punch line. [...]

I knew I would use them again. I knew it the first moment I woke up this morning. It’s frustrating not to get that “c’mon stay in bed five more minutes” feeling that I crave when I wake up. I’m just not… comfortable. I just tossed and turned, ignoring the invitations [...]

Ok… I’ll admit it. I’m addicted to LOST. There’s something so magical and alluring about it. Between all the intense drama, the strong conflict between faith and science and Yoon-jin Kim (cuuuuuuute), there’s not much room for filler *cough* Naruto *cough*. So to celebrate LOST’s huge impact on my already non-existent [...]

I had a taste for Indian food yesterday sooo… I dug around the Internet, found some recipes and made dinner. I made a tuned-down version of Tandoori chicken (From Gourmet Magazine) on a bed of toasted pine nut & roasted garlic couscous with a sweet and phantom spicy mango salsa. I’ll be honest. [...]

Woof. With all the Trick-or-Treat-ers stealing all my candy and egging my front door, I seem to have forgotten to post the remainder of my gadget / gaming articles on Arstechnica’s Opposable Thumbs journal for the month of October. I already have a healthy count for November, so expect another gadget link bomb [...]

One of the best reasons to not watch TV on a constant basis has got to be the fact that commercials become entertaining again. And no one knows good commercials like the California Milk Advisory Board. I’ve played “Fence” their latest advertisement over and over at my desk all morning.
Cow: OK, again. [...]

Yesterday, I had a ton of dim sum with a grade school friend (I mean, I can call you that, right? Hee hee), played around with Guitar Hero @ Jay’s and saw Claire Dane’s ba-donk-a-donk in Shopgirl. It was everything that I thought it would be.
Synopsis for all you curious monkeys:
