- Oh Google, you clever beast you. UnevenGoogle.com. Which reminds me, the Google logo wasn’t centered until 2001.
- I would be SHOCKED if you haven’t heard of the Old Spice viral video campaign. Find some examples here. Parodies are starting to surface. This is my favorite: Study like a scholar.
- The other day I was sitting in a meeting using a mechanical pencil. I became curious as to how long I’ve owned this particular pencil. It turns out, the Pentel PD345 I was using, I’ve owned since middle school.
- If you care about WordPress, you should be in the know about the great Thesis + GPL debate.
- Pretty soon you’ll be able to make your very own Google Android App.
- Every live feed you can imagine from the gulf, all on one page. [Sidenote: I couldn't get the page to load, maybe you'll have better luck]
- A shoutout goes to Herb Halstead for mentioning us as his favorite publisher in the first ever Friday Folio. Thanks Herb!
Current track: [the sound of the airport terminal and my flight being delayed...thrice]

OK, so I actually said "one of my favorite publishers," but after thinking about it, I don't actually have any other favorite publisher, so The House Studio is favorite number 1 of 1… (haha)
That kind of makes it less cool. But hey, we're still number one though right?
fixed haha
well – I guess its kinda like telling my only son that he is my favorite son (grin)
I first saw those Old Spice viral videos the "old fashioned" way in commercial form on the ole' television. Since then the guy has been a recurring guest on a show I like to watch and the other day he mentioned that he was signed by a TV company and that they might make a show out of the character from the commercials. The bit is funny, but I'm not sure they could build a show off of it.
I'm wondering if it's blasphemous that the Old Spice and Dos-Equis commercials are on my church's parody list for upcoming sermon illustration videos :-/
Do you have a spreadsheet of all your junior high school supplies? Or perhaps did you etch in "Scotty" with the year? I'm wondering how you know how long you've had said mechanical pencil. Either way, just an FYI, you'll never get back the brain function required to reach your conclusion. See you tomorrow, Scotty 1992!
Maybe I do, maybe I don't.
Actually I remember because my dad would bring them home by the handful from his work. And his employer at that time was around the same time I was in junior high. Booya.
–p.s. Oh yes, I went there.
