I've Made A Huge Mistake
Taking a break with a few minutes to kill before going to pick my grandmother up at the airport, I decided to watch the first episode of Arrested Development. I of course now want to watch them all again. But I don’t have time, and I’m sick of watching videos. But I really want to…
Best thing on TV. Ever.

The One Hotel Angkor, Siem Reap, Cambodia →
In the future, people will build or convert extra rooms to be one rooms hotels. Something easily manageable. Providing unique and comfortable places to stay. People will rarely want for a pad to crash. It becomes so pervasive that travelers rarely make hotel reservations. They go to some new city believing they’ll be able to get a room with as much thought that they believe...
WatchI guess this would fall under “serve”?
Some CalTrain conductor’s incorrectly informed power trip leads belligerent police sheriff to arrest bike commuter.
There has been an increase in incidents of rudeness, incorrectness, and forcefulness of CalTrain conductors in the past three or four week. I wonder if all the increased ridership is really getting on their nerves. Seems we...

This America Life played their episode on 419 scams just this past Saturday, so this might be funnier to me. Still. So appropriate no?

This was, I believe, the third Compact Disc my father purchased.
The first was Roll With It. I can’t remember what the second one was. Gimmie a minute

If you hand a government a FIVE TRILLION dollar SURPLUS, and eight years later they hand you back over a TEN TRILLION dollar DEFICIT, AND you’re willing to give that government your vote, you’re not only a total idiot who deserves to lose your house and job, but a huge-giant-enormous-asshole. Wake up southerners, texans, evangelicals, etc. You are fucking this up for everyone. You....
Why Surveys Don't Work
For all ESPN or whoever know, after wasting their time and money on the phone (since I’m able to multitask) my name is Jason, I’m an ethnically undefinable student who makes over 150K/yr and hates all sports except major league soccer and the winter olympics which I never actually watch, but when I do I watch online and yet don’t have the internet.
Figure all that out, clowns.

The New Number Two
Putting aside that I can’t shake the feeling that the new “The Prisoner” remake will break my heart; may I make a point?
Having one actor (no matter how great Sir Ian is) play No. 2 the entire time misses a very large point of the original show. Namely, the relationship between the individual and society. No. 2 itself, THE INSTITUTION, the ROLE was the adversary of No. 6, not...

Every pro cyclist in the world has been overcome with fear.
Back from a second consecutive weekend mini hiking adventure. This time four strong as we ascended the brush covered redwood mountains of Big Basin. A good sweaty dirty time was had by all.

This is what happens when idiots have a popular website. Here’s the thing idiots, if you’d done your homework, you’d realize that the gull wing door on the DeLorean was not simply a thing of beauty, but of efficiency. It had a smaller opening footprint than traditionally doored vehicles, due to the hinge being near the center of the vehicle. Meaning you could park it in an even...
Stand by me
Kevin and I got back from a hike through the redwoods yesterday. Aside from the magestic views, we found remnants of old camp sites, drunks, an old crashed truck, and three skulllzzz.
We also hiked up a small mountain without any ropes or proper equipment; lending further weight to my belief that nearly anything can be done in the clothes you’re wearing right now, and without special...
