Another Shot

I had some time this weekend and am going to be working on a site redesign.  Maybe that will encourage me to start posting again.  Stay tuned.

Engagement photoshoot...

Elizabeth and I had a great time during our engagement photoshoot a few weekends ago with Todd Pellowe. He's not only an incredible photographer but also a really great guy. Click here to see a few more of the proofs.

Bachelor party caught on tape!

While partying at the Palms’ Ghostbar in Las Vegas for the bachelor party we brushed shoulders with many of the roommates from the Real World Reunion : Las Vegas while they were in the process of filming. The 2nd episode just aired last night and we made a guest appearance! We all make cameos at one point in the episode but this one is the real money shot!!

iPhone

It has arrived!

Happy Feet

There is nothing better than a little penguin-bashing to get you in the Christmas spirit!

Amateur

Check out "Amateur" by Lasse Gjertsen. Read about it in the WSJ here.

Save the Date

We're going to have real "Save The Date" magnets made. I made this one as a possibllity last night.

Quote of the Weekend

When a friend of mine was trying to persuade me to go to a free New York City cultural event this weekend...

"This city takes so much from you - by god you've got to f###ing take back!"

I agreed to attend instantly.

**Side note** I liked this quote so much I thought about using it as the motto for an online event-posting I have been working on. However, I'm a little worried some people might interpret it as encouraging them to steal and burglarize. Hmmm.

By the Power of Gray Skull!

Bob Ross on Wii

I had heard rumors of this before... Wii may be giving Bob Ross the chance he deserves. (via Kottke)

Crazy in Love in the Elevator

Last night, when I got in my building elevator I was followed by two others: a 320 pound guy who looked like an offensive lineman for the Giants and a girl about my age. All three of us had our mug-me-white iPod headphones in and immediately assumed the appropriate “stare at the wall and make no eye-contact” elevator posture. Even though I had music playing I could hear music coming from another iPod in the elevator, it was Beyonce’s Crazy in Love. It must have been loud! I mean this music was blaring! Nearly drowning out my own iPod ear-buds! I glanced over at the girl expecting to see some head-bobbing to the Beyonce beat but she was motionless (that song usually provokes head-bobbing, especially at that volume). I then glanced over at the 320 pound linebacker, he was completely motionless and from the determined, clenched-jaw look on his face I was sure he was listening to Megadeath. When we got to the 19th floor the linebacker slowly walked off and was followed by the blaring Beyonce Crazy in Love music! I looked over at the girl and said, “I thought that was you.” She looked at me and said, “I thought that was you!” We both cracked up.

mmmmmm clogged arteries...

I had my first glass of eggnog of the holiday season last night!

Wordie.org

Check out Wordie. "It's like Flickr but without the photos." Just a bunch of people enjoying words. Right now plethora is the fourth "most wordied" word. I think credit for plethora's popularity should definitely go to The Three Amigos. Read:

Jefe: I have put many beautiful piñatas in the storeroom, each of them filled with little surprises!

El Guapo: Many piñatas?

Jefe: Oh yes, many!

El Guapo: Would you say I have a plethora of piñatas?

Jefe: A what?

El Guapo: A plethora.

Jefe: ...Oh yes. You have a plethora.

El Guapo: Jefe, what is a plethora?

Jefe: Why, El Guapo?

El Guapo: Well, you told me I have a plethora. And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has no idea what it means to have a plethora!

Jefe: Forgive me, El Guapo, I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education, but could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?

Phantom Works

It's the typical story - but pretty interesting. Crazy Russian Scientist, defying gravity, so on and so forth... (via Nick)
