Miniature Japanese Foods OMG

Last night I made the trek to Petaluma's Mystic Theatre to witness Various & Sundry, a west coast tour featuring a number of my favorite artists, and one I didn't know. The lineup: Glen Phillips, once of Toad the Wet Sprocket and master of s...

Reasons to Love Chicago

Check out that awesome forecast: we're going from 76 and sunny to 40 and sleet/snow in four days. Per the weather guru Tom Skilling, if it snows Thursday that'll be our earliest snow since 10.7.00. And I thought we'd have a mild autumn....

My Colors? What about your colors?

nobody@vox.com(Paul) — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 11:56:50 -0500

So the new camera arrived yesterday (yay!) and I will tell you one little think that I like a lot: My Colors mode. It's very simple, actually: in this mostly-for-fun mode you can do color manipulation tricks in the camera. It might not be much, b...

No, Biff. You leave her alone.

Fantastic! Someone has taken the overlapping parts of Back to the Future I and Back to the Future II and put them in the same video. It's delightful, and the consistency is quite good.

I won the scavenger hunt contest at Coudal! That means I'll be getting a lot of stuff in the mail and will be a co-guest editor of Fresh Signals in July. Sweet!

Element Chronicles: Part 5

nobody@vox.com(Paul) — Sun, 25 Jun 2006 11:41:45 -0500

Element Chronicles: Part 4

nobody@vox.com(Paul) — Sun, 25 Jun 2006 08:33:49 -0500

We had decided on Friday to check out the orange Element that was 35 miles away. When yesterday morning rolled around, I called the dealership and ensured they still had it. Yes, they did. Was it still $12,995? Yes, it was. Okay, we'll see you in...
